Re: Update 1.5 - notes released 6/12/24

Another thought. Probably a controversial one that will incur the wrath of some on this forum. I have owned 10 or 11 cars in my life. Up until this one, every one was made in a factory and then delivered to a purchaser. Once delivered it remained the same until it was scrapped (unless it was discov...

Re: EX30 app keeps logging off

Also 1.7, iOS and I have never been logged off. Strange.

Re: Update 1.5 imminent?

For me, all these updates are rubbish. More than a month to add an icon for the rear wiper? Really? There are far more urgent issues to address, like the heating, the digital key, or the welcome screen. It’s absurd to leave the UX in this state. Buttons are greyed out, and you need to put the car in...

Re: My 3000 KM trip through Europe

I drove about 80 km on snow with ‘Performance Mode’ set to ‘On’ and equipped with winter tires (Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 - 19”). I didn’t encounter any problems, and the ride was excellent. I also drove 400 km in the rain and on very wet roads, and the car performed amazingly. However, the range issue...

My 3000 KM trip through Europe

I went skiing in Austria and made a ~3000 km trip. My thoughts: 1. The car drives amazingly. The ride was smooth, and Pilot Assist was really helpful on highways, making the whole experience great. However, sometimes on the second lane, the car got too close to the left line, which made me uncomfort...

Re: Anyone else noticing power is restricted in colder temps?

Yes, I also have the twin motor, and at -6°C, it definitely feels lazier than usual. Tomorrow, I’m going on an 800 km trip, followed by another 800 km the next day. I hope that once the battery warms up, the performance will return to normal. Also, in this cold weather, my city consumption is betwee...

Lumbar support

Hi everyone, I have the Ultra version with lumbar support (adjustable in multiple points) for the driver’s seat. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a comfortable setting that works for me. Do you use the lumbar support, and if so, how do you have it set? Even though I’ve had the car for two ...

Re: Battery and Range Indicator

I have found that the range estimation is quite accurate. On a few trips of 300–400 km, the expected range at arrival, as indicated by Google Maps, was off by only 1–2% at most. However, with the current cold weather, my consumption has increased significantly, from 20–21 kWh to 28-29 kWh, and the r...

Re: Key Card, Key Fob, Phone key

For me, the key fob works great. Occasionally, the car hasn’t unlocked automatically, and I’ve had to place my hand on the handle—this usually happens when I approach from behind rather than from the front of the car. If someone else is in the car when I step away, I either leave the fob inside the ...

Re: Heating

Hi ,Chili! I agree with what gogusrl said, it is quite unintuitive the climate in the car. If i set a temperature of 27C it will blow cold air. I have found that the best setting for colder days is to put the climate setting on the Auto and the temperature on High. After it gets quite warm (a few mi...
