    @Electric700, good advice thank you. The issue disappeared by itself this week.

    2015 70D waking up every 4 hours with 20.20.1 firmware

    Since our update to 2020.20.1 we are seeing a strange issue. Our car is waking up every 4 hours to top off charge. The car is using 6 to 7KWH per day. Before the update the car was almost not losing charge for days even when connected to the wall charger. Since 2020.20.1 update, the only way...

    Model X vs iPace vs e-Tron

    Am I the only one to list the availability as an important criteria? e-tron should be hard to get and on order only. i-Pace is being has a super slow production ramp. About 600 sold to date. Anyway it is always fun to compare a 2016-2018 Model X to cars that may be available in 1 or 2 years...

    Dual Motor no longer offers range choice

    If it is like the S, the lowest battery capacity has a lower voltage too ( 350V vs 400V). If the power limitation comes from the Amperes that the inverter can handle it means less power and slower supercharging too.

    My 2011 Leaf needs a new battery - CPO or repair and wait?

    Get the battery, all other option are still open after. A 2011 with a new battery will have a good resale value! ( here a used 2011 is above $8K ($12000 CAD) in QC, Canada. )

    Do you keep Creep on or off?

    Off! I wish I could disable it on the Leaf too. One pedal driving is sweet.

    Battery size headache!!

    We went from a 85 to a 70D, no regrets here. If you have a supercharger on your way for the 200 miles trip you shoud be fine.

    Battery size headache!!

    The main difference will be the power and acceleration. Range should be fine at 65mph for 200 miles. If you like driving fast or if you are up North in sub zero weather you may enjoy the extra capacity.

    A plea: no faux grill please

    I second you. Once you get used to see a grill less car, the ICE grill feels so dated. It is like the engine noise: You think you'll miss it but you won't. It is just funny to watch ICE cars making so much noise to accelerate...
