We've had six or seven in work the last week or so with 'noisy heaters' (set at 25deg. C.!) and reduced range, best/worst I saw was 57% heating consumption of the battery. No faults as such, just a leaaring curve yet to be climbed.

ETA - with the current cold snap, I particularly enjoy having the timed climate, no putting bits of cardboard or car covers on when I get home from work, nor waiting for the screen to defrost or buying deicer, I also leave work 7 minutes after everyone else but leave the car park before them without having to clean the glass inside & out.
Yes, it costs me a bit of diesel, but it's worth it.

I'm sure it'll get sorted, It'll have to!!

I remember only a couple of years ago queuing for petrol and diesel, I actually can't remember why it was in short supply - but it was and I think way back into the 80s or maybe 90s fuel being rationed or something, maybe we just ran out again.

I don't support any side but if new cars have to be EVs then I'll just fall into line, although I do like my current (no pun intended) car but that maybe because I never drive into town or city centres - old enough to have more sense OR is it the bus pass? Geoff

Can’t be too careful:




Sorry,  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
