My scenic e-tech with heat pump has the same range as the now 4yo kona I had before it. Bigger more modern battery with heat pump and still around 220 miles.
I have the scenic e-tech and yes the perso (personalisation) button will turn them all off at a touch and Google voice control will do most other commands and the car will basically drive itself and the seats are are really comfy. And I absolutely love the car and love driving it.
Sounds like my old Kona. Three trips 1, Since last start and could be manually reset anytime. 2, Total distance and cannot be reset. 3, Since last charge and could only be reset by charging the car.
I miss the last one as I sometimes forget to reset the trip to see what a full charge gets me in the scenic e-tech.
Renault scenic e-tech is like a cavern inside. I’m going to update my review tonight as I’ve now 3414 miles and have had it a bit over 2 months.
When’s a few months, two? If so you should be fine. Phone them up close to renewal date line date and ask for an extension. Explain that you are having trouble getting the forms filled in. This will buy you a minimum 2 week extension*. So you should get to the trip before any decision is made on your claim. If you do not get motability award again I think you are allowed two weeks before car is handed back. Even say 1 week and the 2 week extension and by the time they do the actual assessment you should be back from the holiday.
* Don’t leave form to last minute, do it asap and sit on it a bit just to buy you a bit of time.
Similar thing happened to me in the scenic e-tech. I had accidentally shifted it in to neutral. Remember on the scenic the drive selector is where the wiper stalk is.
Is it possible that the electric controls are activating launch control. I do believe older q4s had it and I’m led to believe that most EVs still have it but they made it hard to do/work out and that they don’t advertise it now due to idiots crashing.
I downloaded the kelec app yesterday to see what it was like as most people on the FB page seem to prefer and right enough my Renault app has stopped working. I might just use the kelec one as it has a better setup/interface
Yes Mike you can manually precondition through the app. I always use this as I’m always leaving at a slightly different times. I just tap it about 15 minutes before I leave. Only once has it not worked and that was yesterday funnily enough as another app update happened over night.
TBF to Renault they are always trying to fix the app as it doesn’t work well for a lot of folk. The thing in common is smart chargers? Particularly ohme? but that seems the same for the enyaq guys as well. My app has always worked and my charger is just a plug and play type. If I need to I just use the car or app for scheduling.
I’m in the iconic and absolutely love it. Range in the cold weather is around 3 mpkwh. That gets me about 250 miles. Most comfortable car I’ve ever been in.
Just one difference in the video for scenic. Once you press electric in car settings press programmes and it will be all there.
Could you not go into the app and up date personal details. Change name and CC details to random names & numbers then just delete the app.
Got 45 out of 50, not bad as haven’t driven for years!
43 out of 50 correct and failed 🤔
I have in my scenic e-tech and it’s brilliant. Hey Google make a fart noise 😂. Nah seriously though I had a big drive today and it warned me of two mobile speed cameras. One was there the other not as I presume it had moved on. Just noticed today that it shows you when there are traffic lights ahead.
V2L will be the death of me. I decided to have a look through the online manual through the app and it says the car has V2L. Unlike Peugeot it goes on to explain it all in detail including where the adapter is stored in the tool kit. It has the picture/graphics of the scenic with all the explanations on how and when to use it and set it up via the infotainment screen.
Oh I’m excited so goes out and there’s no adaptor and searched the settings on the infotainment screen and there’s no mention of it. They are messing with my head.
This stinks as it’s a similar case to mine only a few weeks ago. The pin is a number not a name or letters so how did it work. How are they getting access to our pins when motability seem so eager for us to keep it secure and private until we are happy.
How long will it be before someone says they do not want the car they are there to collect because it’s wrong colour or trim etc but dealer has already inputted our pin without us knowing.
Ioniq you might need it and you, me, us need to know what we can expect because someday you may get that dreaded phone call and need to get somewhere asap. In my case it’s only a 40 mile trip, but if that family member was further away then I need to know what I can get in miles.
I have a magic number of 220. That’s how much miles I would need if I get referred to a certain cardiac hospital which will probably happen. So that’s a minimum for me. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve tested the 3 EVs I’ve had from 100% to 1%.
Ice is the same but it does take about 6 minutes to fill an ice car whereas an EV you might need a minimum of 30 minutes to get a quick boost.
Yip. Subarachnoid bleed in right communicating posterior artery. 2 vasospasm strokes and 5 Tia’s. As bad as it gets, last rights and waiting on the machine being turned off. Mine was coiled and they went up through the groin into the brain. I am cured just like yourself it over. I was told that I can start driving as soon as I felt able to, and this was confirmed by DVLA, apart from a weak left lower side I made a full recovery. Basically as long as your bleed has not led to any type of seizure then your good to go.
I done the form recently due to a heart problem and I’ve now to do a driving reassessment. But the brain injury does not concern them as it’s fixed and 11 years later I’m still under the care of the brain injury team.
So in your case it’s over, bleed repaired itself without surgery and I presume a full or almost full recovery was made. Just tell them that. They may go to your neurologist to confirm this and that takes a while, but that’s it.
Joejoe that’s no different from someone needing hand controls. If they need it they have to have it, I’m talking about the majority and saying it’s not as bad as it seems. Wiper is better but don’t let it put you off a car that ticks all boxes except rear wiper.
Side note. The Renault Scenic has the side mirrors where the end curves to give a wider view. That would be handy for someone who struggles to look over their shoulder.
It is a stupid cost cutter. I can reverse a car no problem without a rear wiper. Without sounding condescending if you can’t reverse a car just using wing mirrors then maybe your reversing isn’t as good as you think. Folks I’m not being cheeky saying that. And again different cars different shapes, but the e3008 fairly stayed clean. Also I believe all motability cars have rear parking sensors. Unless that rule has been done away with lately.
The scenic is an unbelievable car, it’s brilliant. I researched the life out of it after the bad e3008 and there are very few faults and the few there are Renault seem to want to try and fix asap unlike their french counterparts. The two main complaints are blank info screen, it takes a few seconds to do a reset to get them working again and Renault have acknowledged it’s a problem, it may have been fixed as i ain’t seen any very recent complaints about it. Another is lumber adjusting itself. I know the problem there, when folk are using the message function and then turning it off it stays in its last position so you have to manually reset it. Then the app, most problems are to do with a certain home charger ohme I believe. Renault have acknowledged it and are working with that company in a fix.
Then you have the Kona which I had the old version, it has to be an upgrade on the old, it should be a cracker. Hyundai EV are probably the biggest EV on the forum from the 5, 6 and Kona. If reliability is a concern with any ev then the amount of Hyundai EV drivers on this forum and the lack of complaints or even grumbles says they are great cars. Mind aps have just jumped which put me of the Kona with spec I wanted.
My second last charge showed 100% = 345 before park run. Last charge after park run 100% = 290 miles so it is adopting.
It was warm and dry on for about 1/4 of the run then it rained so wipers on and heat set at fan 2 20 degrees. I stuck to 65mph except for about 10 miles around the M50 it was around 55. I got 3.1 so would got me 240 all on motorway. Before I charged it had done 182 miles and gom was showing 81 miles left.
I did charge in the back but had stopped calculating as it was a long day. Range is good, but the difference in 65 mph compared to 75mph is astonishing tbh. And it was a very relaxing drive. The seats are great, the most comfortable I’ve been in, as is the car itself.
Now for something I wasn’t expecting which was equally exciting as it was frightening. I had the car sat to activate assist and as I was approaching a round about the car started to slow down as I approached. There was no cars so scenic had nothing to follow. I’ve a clear view so just let it happen, mind my foot was hovering over the pedals and a light grip on the steering wheel so the car could turn itself. A bit nervous but I let it do it’s thing.
It slowed down, turned through the roundabout still slowling, I indicated where I wanted to go, it turned off and then started speeding up again. That was weird. I’m going to try it again soon.
It was the A1 going to M1 so it was the second last roundabout and then the big curved slip road on to the M1. Fascinating stuff if not a bit hairy. I absolutely love this car, best I’ve ever had. Have a intermittent problem with the electric seat not recalling as it slides back and forward on entering and exiting the car. Only happened 4 times. There is a button on the side of the seat. Press it and all seat options appear in main screen, just press recall and it goes back to my setting. 3 seconds to fix.
App had to be deleted 3 times and reinstalled but they appear to be doing a few tweaks including the car picture in the app now being the same colour as my car. It works and has done every command I’ve sent.
I had a full charge yesterday and I’m going to try and just stick to my typical driving to see how the range goes. But if I stick to 65 on motorways then I’d imagine a range of mixed driving giving around 240 in cold and wet weather.
@declan there wouldn’t be much on the market let alone the scheme with a more premium interior than Peugeot. But they pulled a trick IMHO. They used so much cheap fabric but still managed to make it look premium. The Peugeot is all style and very little substance, the scenic has a bit of style and tons of substance. I thought the open cabin would have put me off, it did in the ioniq 5, but the kit sung me and I’ve absolutely no regrets.
I thought I would have missed that tight cockpit feeling out quite the opposite. The big airy cabin is great. The e3008 is so well put together but there are no squeaks or rattles in the scenic either.
Right told the kids I’d take them to a park, one that is 151 miles away. I love being in this car, kids are good at long drives too.
The app didn’t work this morning so couldn’t precondition. Deleted app and reinstalled signed in in all of about 70 seconds and it turns out they made a few cosmetic changes to the app. Now the car in the app is the same colour as my car and its working fine.
It’s the little things that make a great experience even better lol.
