Re: What would you like to see next from OTA software updates?

Re: Visiting Germany? Misha would love to drive the EX30 around the Nurburgring

Would be interesting but it's top speed would really limit it I think And the fact that the car would try to out-brake him at every fast corner. This is from a UK TV show called Fifth Gear where a couple of ex-racing drivers and another chap tested an EX30. All was going so well https://www.youtube...

Re: 1.5.2 update

Anyone who has 1.5.2 able to confirm if the stupid aspects of 1.5 are still there? Like the lock sound disappearing, trunk button disappearing, speed warning removed from welcome screen? It is all still the same as you describe above. 1.5.2 has not materially changed any of these over 1.5 Damn.. Mi...

Re: Dashcam

Don’t forget if you hardwire a dash cam to let your insurance company, at least in the UK, it’s a modification that they need to know about and is a question they ask. Not informing them could invalidate your insurance. I use an old android phone with a brilliant dash cam app running on battery tha...

Re: UK VED car tax - EX30 Ultra dual motor

£195 if registered before April 1st 2025 £605 if registered after April 1st 2025 for the first 5 years, then £195. This is the rate for cars above £40,000, which is just insane given £40,000 isn't considered that expensive for an EV.. But yeah, everyone - remember to apply for VED in March so you do...

Re: Ambient Light Turned RED for some minutes

I've noticed whenever the emergency break alert activates, the ambient lighting flashes red, which is quite cool, but then the ambient lighting shuts off and won't come back on again until the car is restarted. Seems that emergency lighting isn't handled correctly in the software causing it to bug out
