[UK] 2022.8.x

[MrT3]

In a situation where the outside temperature is still fairly low, but the interior has been heated by the sun, I would expect that the climate control system would cool the car simply by circulating external air, so would use negligible power - basically running nothing more than the fan. So not too different from opening the windows, really.

I think only if you turn off the AC, otherwise it will use it to cool the cabin as quickly as possible rather than as efficiently as possible.

I'm pretty sure that when I used to start driving with a 'fairly' full battery, and it was cold, I got a message something like 'Regenerative Braking Reduced' - I noticed this morning a message that said 'Deceleration limit when accelerator released OK to drive - Use brake pedal as needed'

Has that changed recently and I missed it - I'm on 2022.8.2?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

That seems to be the new message. Not sure why they changed it.. it's more wordy and TBH confusing unless you know what it's trying to say.

 

[browellm]

That looks like it's been thoroughly lawyered.

"Regenerative braking reduced" makes a lot more sense intuitively.

what I do not like is that if I zoom or move map now, while sat nav is active, I need to press the button to re-center to the car. I think it used to do this automatically before?

Aside from the wording of the message recent software updates (before 2022.8.2) have already modified the management of regen braking. Last summer if morning temperatures were even around 15C I could get the "regeneration limited" message if 80% battery and going down a hill. This winter I have only rarely seen that message even at temps not much above freezing... so something has changed.

Yep, I'm sure it used to do

I think the auto zoom/move feature disappeared in the last update or even earlier.

If you have an octo-valve car then doesn't it try and scavenge the heat from the cabin for the battery?

Just updated to 2022.8.2 and it seemed to take ages. Much longer than others and was on 60% for most of that time. Also, there seemed to me a lot of ‘crash, bang, wallop’ coming from the car too as it updated.

It's been the quickest update to install on mine so far. Were you watching/waiting for it? Always seems to take longer then... A watched pot never boils.

No, it took well over 40 mins for mine to install.

That's a good point. It is certainly capable of doing that. Whether the current software does it, I have no idea.

"Regenerative braking reduced" makes a lot more sense intuitively.

It does if you're immersed in EV technology.

For the mass market, it's just technobabble. The new wording is probably more mass-market friendly, I would think.

I’d say the word deceleration will confuse many in this country. They should use the word braking.

Phew! Where I did I put my thesaurus?

Seems that 8.2 is having a bit of a rollout. It just popped up for me
@AnthonyLR ?

Yup, downloading now!
