Re: if in doubt, turn it off and back on?

Are you on v2.3? If so, a bit surprising you are getting that level of ‘glitch’. The only thing I’ve had approaching that is when the satnav lost gps and it through a total wobbly. In general ‘if in doubt, turn off and leave for an hour’ mostly works. Although clearly you may not be able to do that!...

Re: Road trip to france!

I’ve just done a trip to south of Germany. Looking around Paris, Ionity via the WeCharge card, should easily cover your needs. 1. Download the Ionity app 2. Use the directions on it to find the charging station, via Google or Apple maps. It is very accurate in terms of specific location. 3. Maidston...

Re: New Car - Harsh Suspension

I assume you’ve tried playing with the modes ie. Comfort mode.
It is a heavy car and can be a little bit crashy over poor surfaces. But clearly what you are describing doesn’t seem within bounds..,

Re: Renault Megane e-tech EV pricing

This is the new reality, and one that’s here for years. At the moment they are getting a bit too close to Ionic5, EV6 and M3 territory (although I guess all of those will be going up in price soonish(?))

Re: Renault Megane e-tech EV pricing

On a similar vein, I saw the pricing for the new Kia Niro EV today... for the top spec with travel assist it's £40.5k and the next spec down, with less kit than an ID.3 Family, costs £39k. Bonkers. And some people consider it the value option! Yes I saw that. I’m really lucky I got in the EV market...

Yep. But it’s got those essential 20” rims🙄
Approaching £40k for a pretty average spec Renault Megane is a bit daft tbh.
I guess they think people will go gooey eyed because it has a Google infotainment lolz.

Renault Megane e-tech EV pricing

Thought this might be of some interest as it’s likely to be a major competitor to the ID3. The Renault Megane EV pricing has just been released https://www.renault.co.uk/electric-vehicles/megane-electric/configurator.html?conf=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.co.rplug.renault.com%2Fc%2FBABT-%2FA I was outline inter...

Re: From Life to Tour

I think you’ll like the matrix lights! Making £7.5k on the Life is outstanding. My 18 month old 1st Edition with 16k miles is, according to Motorway, +£5.2k. Hard to cash it in though! I am test driving the Megane EV in July and am on the priority list, but I’m not over keen on a pokey cabin after t...

Re: Delay Bingo

There’s clearly a number of genuine factors affecting most EV manufacturers. VW are just towards the top of the leaderboard in terms of terrible administration, integrated software and above all else communication.
Oh and they couldn’t care less.

Perhaps that is their “extra” 5?
This sounds right. Clearly, either don’t know what they are talking about or just trying a dubious sales push.

interesting on the VIN. My 1st edition is an ‘M’ but is definitely a 2020 car…
