Actually I'd forgotten about that, It keeps the base of the boot the same size but increases the space quite a bit at dog head height when doggie sits up. Must give it a go on mine as I almost never have people in the back.
Me too - there was no insurance requirement from any of the insurers that I got quotes from via GoCompare.
The car contains a GPS and uplink of location anyway and you can set alerts if it leaves defined locations (I have home set up as a location).
Clever car thief's these days use phone...
I did a test drive in the Q6 and was very impressed. It does have a little more room in the boot which would suit our two dogs (Cocker Spaniel and Border Collie) very well.
But then I had a test drive of the Porsche Macan found I was doomed to buy one - it really is that much better and for...
In August I did 250 miles on one trip pulling into the charger location still at 25% and 83 miles - this was almost entirely 70pmh motorway driving. Very happy with that.
So, it's a little disappointing to hear that the colder weather range is only 250 miles. All depends on speed though I...
Mines a Pod Point charger installed in Jan 2021 and it has a scheduler that can be configured via the Pod Point iPhone app.
Are you sure yours doesn't?
I agree - this is what I do too and it works very well.
I set my charger schedule for 23:30 to 05:30 and the car has no schedule set at all, just a max charge setting of usually 80%. Then just plug in the car when you get home and the house charger switches on at the appropriate time and the...
I might be wrong as I've only had one drive post update but my initial impression is that it is switching to the full beam more often/more quickly. Pre Update, I sometimes still had to manually switch to full beam on some dark/empty roads whereas now it's doing it automatically.
I also notice that in the UK, the Macan RWD and 4 can no longer have Drive Assist/Innodrive optioned. If you want this then you'll need to upgrade to at least a 4s.
I got the software update yesterday and then went on a 55 mile errand. All good although no visual differences I can see in the various displays.
A few immediate observations though:
1. Speed limit detection now seems correct - including in locations it definitely wasn't before.
2. The Matrix...
Mine did exactly this in August for 2 weeks and then inexplicably returned to normal working.
After a week I called my dealer and had it booked in to be looked at but it returned to normal working on the day it went in. Dealer couldn't find any faults.
I just force terminated the Porsche App on my phone the the OTA function is active now for me too. It was definitely inactive when I checked a few hours ago.
My car has this 1% /day loss too but it seems from this forum poll that 69% of respondents don't have a SoC loss problem, so it's not something wrong with the design but our individual cars.
I'm going to try out the new major software update (I'm scheduled for 3 weeks time) and then pick it up...
That's what I do when I notice the Smart Lift hasn't worked.
When I haven't noticed I simply scrape the splitter as a lesson to myself. To be fair, the driveway seem to have only one line over it that is low enough to scrape the front in normal mode so mostly I miss it.
My smart lift always works when arrive at home, but reverts to the normal level by next day. When leaving home again the Smart Lift doesn't engage about 1 in 3 times.
Certainly my wife's EV does that and we've left it anywhere from 2 to 7 weeks with no loss whatsoever.
My Macan lost 13% when left for 14 days in a car park. what's most annoying is that I then didn't have enough charge to comfortably get to our planned lunch stop on the journey home.
I guess...
Exactly, as long as the car properly shuts down all the EV stuff, the HV battery should be essentially unused for months on end of being left - no different to leaving an ICE car.
My wife's EV (Renault) has been left for 7 weeks and was the same SoC as before we left it.
Yes, same with me but I only see a drop in the app (and in the car) AFTER the car has been unlocked.
Until the car is unlocked, the SoC in the app stays the same and then after the car is unlocked (you can lock it again straight away, the app then reports whatever SoC the car actually has.
My...
Is that 65% after you unlocked the car?
For me, the app doesn't report a change the SoC at all (at least for a couple of weeks) unless the car is unlocked - or maybe you use the app to change something, I haven't tried this.
My problem is not related to charging, the 1% a day SoC loss occurs just when the car is parked up and not being used - not plugged into a charger.
I can't comments on anything to do with charging issues as mine works OK but my EVSE is set for a scheduled 6 hours of charging a day and my...
