I suppose if you’re not used to long road trips and want to be extra cautious I can understand that, you’ll have a better idea for the next time. I always judge it on battery percentage as opposed to the GoM
Total charge to 100% too 1h 24m
Overall, quite dissappointed in the range, we all know WTLP is rubbish but Ireally don’t feel confident in using it for any “long distance” trips in the Autumn/Winter. My trip to Whitby in much warmer weather was a lot better, getting 4.2m/kWh so a possible total range of 320-330 miles, first time ever since getting it!.
WHY were you on a rapid till it reached 100%… 🤦♂️ the ONLY reason for doing that is if you were in somewhere being busy (meal, gym, staying at a hotel etc) but you never ever wait that long, especially when you then arrive home on 40%… should’ve definitely unplugged at 80% max as after that is just a waste of time (unless doing something productive with that time!)
As it’s got a bit colder recently I’d definitely check your tyre pressures 🤔
This Saturday we’re off from Glasgow to Farnborough for Everything Electric on Sunday, then straight after up to Harrogate for 3 nights so can tour a bit of Yorkshire, absolutely no worries here about range or charging 🤞 😉 😂
Yes, driving on wet roads kills range and it was windy too. Should just leave the aircon on, no real range benefit switching between on/off, just be comfortable.
Predicted range is pure guess work, better using battery percentage.
Enjoy the run home, if not in a hurry I like to go the A68 😁
@theo2017 the extensions to 5 years are finished, it’s for 3 years only now 🤷♂️ sorry ☹️
@sjp1163 did I miss something cause it looks like a £2,000 difference not £1,400 🤔
@Jojoe why not use the charger on the same side as your charge port?
@Rene it was only a wee rant you had but 👏👏 you were spot on 😂😂😂
Funny how 6 year old cars… (that’s 2019 😱) with 80k miles are likely to be unsafe, knackered & needing big repairs from a garage every year 😂😂
Personally I’d buy the £1,500 car and put the £200pm into an ISA. That way don’t have to get too precious about hitting a kerb or getting a supermarket ding while still getting to grips with driving and once more experienced should have a few quid saved up for a deposit on something newer… but it’s your kids choice and so far I’d say they’re the financial brains of the house by not wanting to get weighed down by unnecessary debt 🤷♂️
Anyway, on the subject of the Ora… we looked at one when my wife was after an EV and didn’t find any bad reports 🤞 if you get one it will be fine to do exactly the job it was designed for, provide low cost comfortable transportation 👍
They said part that was needed has been put on backorder not sure what that means
It means they don’t have the part but they can still sell it to you. Once it has been manufactured then they’ll send it out, how long that’ll take only Kia knows, unlikely the dealer will have any better idea.
@Robert88 I don’t want to sound cheeky but how would anybody on here know more than the repair garage… what did they say?
Found another software glitch, the passenger heated seats dont show on the screen. Just drivers. I had to voice command to turn on seat, then it appeared. On a restart, it had gone again.
@LordMuc it’s been mentioned on here already and Hyundai are aware, on a positive note it means you’ve got the latest software 😂 just need to keep using voice commands until it gets sorted 🤷♂️🤞Hi Rhodgie thanks for your advice, I’ve heard of those plug in attachment ones that your wife uses, does she find it good quality?
@Juniper the quality on the dashcam is fine, it’ll do the job if you’re involved in anything
In my mobility car my dashcam is plugged into the 12v socket, I haven’t bothered with a rear camera this time.
In my wifes car (not mobility) we just got her a new dashcam (NextBase, can’t remember which one 🤯) which allows a small camera to be plugged into the side of it facing backwards into the vehicle and out the rear window… maybe not as perfect as having one in the rear window but a lot easier to fit and should be good enough to pick up the basics… ie colour, approx speed of other vehicle, direction if they make off 🤞
@Rene regarding the steering wheel, at the 10 & 2 positions where the wee indents are for your thumbs to sit then on the inside this is where it senses your touch 👍 I know it’s a driving position that very few people use these days, especially me 😇 I don’t wobble the wheel but just a gentle bit of pressure on it does the trick.
@kezo couldn’t tell you, I’ll need to ask next time I’m in.
My ordinary specs are reactolites so turn dark when outside but not so much in the car cause of the cars glass but they’re fine cause usually clear. My sunglasses are prescription specs with tints and coatings for driving 🤷♂️
Just had another nightmare on sat nav, unfortunately I was on the motorway and it told me to come off at an exit that didn’t exist. I had to continue on the motorway for five miles before I could get off and come all the way back and then it reset itself.
@Brydo 😱 I’ve never had that on mine but most of the time I use Waze unless I want to preheat the battery or check on the battery % I’d arrive at my destination with.What junction was it and I’ll see if it does it on mines too 🤞
I never use the heads up cause can’t see it with my sunglasses on, wife loves it and was something she insisted on in her own car 😂
@C-Jor-El please don’t get an Ioniq 6, you’re already listing all the things you don’t like about it so obviously don’t love it and will only be complaining until it gets changed… seems to me you’re only thinking of changing cause can make a few quid on it 🤷♂️
Random people unwinding your cable to plug in doesn’t really happen does it? Or is it a thing where you live 🤔 Besides if they do it won’t charge anyway 🤞
Are you sure it was physically locked into the charger if their technicians are telling you this feature isn’t available?
I was thinking the same as @Peedyex Depends how long you’ve had the dashcam and size of memory card in it. Any shocks it gets from slamming a door could cause that bit of footage to get saved as it thinks its been in a bump so what was a 2 hour memory card could be down to a 30 minute card until you delete those files.
Strange how immediately after the incident is there but not the previous 45 mins… is there anything there from before before that 45 minute period?
Was the camera on? Not the first time mines has been unplugged by a garage or me to plug in a tyre inflator, or just bumped and the wire has been loose and I’ve not noticed 🫣
