    Hoping everyone gets their cars as soon as possible!! Had mine for almost 7 weeks now which is crazy how quick that’s gone by! Lots of great journeys, at 1200 miles on the clock now and every single one has been special. Efficiency getting better! Maybe due to warm weather now… and for anyone...

    You can set how much current you want to draw from the supply in your car’s charging menu/page. I think you can select as low as 4 or 5 amps which is a low draw in the ev world. That translates to just over 1kw which would not trip a campsite circuit unless there was already a significant load...

    I have used mine lots actually. I can comfortably say that it is one of the most satisfying experiences I have had with my M3 so far... To be able to fuel your car from a 3 pin plug!! The same plug that powers a humble lamp can also charge your car!! What a magical world we live in hahaha...

    Thanks snowy! Yes the contrast works perfectly! Deffo on our white cars with the black detailing everywhere else. Really works! Super happy. Deffo! The sparkle on the paint is beautiful. I actually only just noticed it today. Excuse the dirt hiding it though! Haha

    I @Snowy77 in particular was interested in this but here is my black badge experience: Super easy! - tape up the ‘v’ point of the T so you have a guide for putting the new one on. I later highlighted the edges with a pencil so I could see it easier. - use a hairdryer or heat gun to gently...

    Jumped in the car this morning and found I had no dots and full regen was available immediately! Temp was 14c when I got in vs the 5c or less previously when I have had to wait for it to heat up. Seems the battery just needs to be over 10c or so to give you full regen…

    I believe the battery is still considered cold up to 25c! I’m pretty certain I read that from Tesla. I believe as it goes above 25c the battery is ‘ready’

    May try and fit today so will send pics. I changed the badges on an old car and it wasn’t too bad to do. I’m hoping that because the car is new it shouldn’t be as ‘moulded on’ to the paintwork.

    Literally the only reason I wanted to heat the battery was better regen right from the start

    Really hope they bring out a feature on the app or the car so you can just precondition the battery and not turn on the cabin AC etc. i think there used to be this feature but I could be wrong… at the moment the easiest way to only precondition the battery is to navigate to a supercharger and...

    Yes I have heard quite a few say that it isn’t worth the energy consumed to precondition. But I have also heard one say it is! I did it once and it used up 2-3% just preconditioning which is a lot. I’ll try it again though. Not such an issue now we are approaching summer but I have also heard it...

    Yes sound isn’t bad! Would love to hear the LR sound to see the comparison. Haha that efficiency average hasn’t been my best! At one point I was averaging around the 160wh/mi!. I am honestly just driving it like a normal car. I suppose I always try and plan though and not waste energy, like not...

    Oh I’m not actually sure what you’d call it. Maybe an energy consumption meter? Haha. Have you found your car takes a while to warm up and allow you to start fully regening? Aka all the dots disappearing?

    Over 2 weeks of ownership now and lots of great drives later I can say this is one of the best things I have ever bought. I have never kept a car for more than 18 months but I cannot imagine life without it! I see myself keeping this car for at least 4-5 years. Not sure I’ll go to another brand...

    Yes I have that! V annoying but like you said you just have to click out and come back. Not too much of an annoyance and I’m sure it’ll be fixed in an update.

    These are just some of the sites: https://electricbrighton.com/charging/free-parking I would use Zap-Map too though. So many right by the sea front. The one I used was basically on the sea front but down toward the marina. I could have easily made it there and back without charging but I’d...

    Successful trip to Brighton today! Charging and parking was free all day! So I technically only paid for one of the legs! Sooo many chargers there it’s crazy.

    That’s ridiculous. I live in London and I’m 24 and it’s £1500. I’m with admiral. If I used my mums address which is west London and a bit further out it was £990 for the year!

    Go into it with a positive and excited mindset and your car will be fine :) I know insane efficiency! I’m doing a long drive tomorrow so I’ll let you know what that comes out at too. I was driving at between 65 - 75 which is slower than I would normally go but the car is lower than my last car...

    An absolute b****!!! Brake pedal was ok but I had to put the accelerator in boiling water which helped a little. You just have to be persistent with them. Use a key or butter knife to pull the rubber lip round the back edge if it won’t go

    In I spoke to call centre and they said if I arrive within an hour of the time slot then they should be ok about it. He said if you arrive several hours before then they will probably tell you to come back later… my train comes in 30 mins before my appointment so I’ll be there 30 mins before...
