Uh tell me about it... I'd gladly pay someone to hack this stupidity.

Agreed, love the silence and also the AC that runs on EV!
I would go mad inching in the 4 hour queue this weekend (blazing sun and 30+ degrees) if it wasn't for this car.

When I'm in stop/start traffic or at traffic lights I only use "P". There's no point in doing this - other than it being a fidget toy :lol: This is a good watch for people new to dual clutch transmission vehicles: 5 Things You Should Never Do In A Dual Clutch Transmission Vehicle (I'm ass...

Sorry for being behind the times! But what does 'Apple Car Play' do exactly?? I am due to get it (for free) whenever I make the appointment with the garage. thanks You can use the handsfree button on the steering wheel to give Siri commands (i.e. answer calls, play music, type out messages) and if ...

Perhaps as the battery provides less power you need more from the petrol engine? I'd also guess that the battery needs breaking in ie quit...

I noticed that the car goes to 'panic' mode whenever it drops below 50%.
