Re: Door lock lights

Mine are off during the day, but illuminated at night when the car is in dark mode. The orange 'door locked' feature of the white door lock light stays on in the day to warn that the doors are locked Incidently, the car had 4 different sets of physical switches (steering wheel, stalks, centre consol...

Ireland, Cyprus, Malta (all EU too).

Re: Anyone got the OTA update for 1.5 yet?

RHD wouldn't explain why it can be loaded by a dealer but not OTA. It is either RHD compliant or not.

Re: Anyone got the OTA update for 1.5 yet?

I am in the UK and still no sign of 1.5. Although from what I have seen I don't really know if I'm actually waiting, as I haven't seen much signs of any real improvements over 1.4.2

Re: Efficiency

Unfortunately it doesn’t really work in my experience on the ex30 - even plugged in it uses battery power to preheat, and even when the battery percentage drops it doesn’t immediately start charging. So if I charge to 90%, preheat the car, it’s usually on 89% when I set off even if it’s been plugge...

Re: Efficiency

Just saw this. what-drains-ev-battery-70mph.png At 70 mph the air resistance would be double that of that at 50 - or in other words increasing from 50 to 70 would increase electricity used defeating air resistance from about 23% of total energy use to about 47% of total energy use, which mathmatical...

That was a fiasco of some magnitude. :)
And again, the DeLorean was built on a Lotus chassis with an underpowered Renault engine.

Re: EX30 app and Apple Watch

As an Android user, I only use the EX30 app. It always works for me, but occasionally it doesn't open properly first time showing the car data, and needs to be immediately closed and re-opened again - when it is always working correctly. (This happens a lot less than it used to - maybe improved by a...
