Zoe recall

[ooo000ooo]

Just had the dealer on the phone asking me to bring the car in for a software update, anyone know what it's for? are they adding ludicrous mode

I was told it was an aircon update, maybe the heater will actually work this winter.

We are due a service in Jan, am going to leave it until then. If anyone gets one earlier can you let us all know if it makes any difference please!

Getting it done 23rd so will report back if I don't die of hypothermia

Getting it done today and the badge - but it's really really improved recently could it be done remotely and it's been done ?

Mines a bit hit and miss, clears windows OK but not roasting hot all the time. Need a new badge on mine so will ask them to order one on for the service after Xmas

Update done, its cold wet and miserable out side so will see if there's any noticeable difference.

Mine is so flaming random. We have another year of it until it goes back.

Leaf's seem to be a lot more expensive now, considering a Tesla as a 10 year purchase. Sort of makes sense! I absolutely hate my TDI now, its vile compared to an electic drivetrain.

I dont agree, I think the next gen will really hit launch P models as everyone wants the new tech and the original P series will drop quickly.

Our Leaf and Zoe are perfect for round the doors driving, I cannot see the current sense in a high value EV as a private purchase just now.

I got our heating "recalibrated" just a few weeks after picking it up end December last year. It's just about OK.

One thing I've noticed with the recent temps hovering around 2-5deg is the range taking a nosedive. 50miles (predicted) on a full charge. I'm sure it was more than that last winter.

Is anyone thinking about what to do when the leases are up, only 13m left for a lot of us. Do we think there'll be a repeat of the cheap deals? I'm doubtful myself but it'll be interesting to see what's on offer.

You have a point there. Saw a Panamera recharging in Welwyn Garden City today, it had carbon brakes. Loads more Leafs around here too, electric getting popular.

Mid 60's at the moment, temps are low single figures. Roughly what I remember from last January when I got it.

Seems better on eco setting than before

[dave_s13]

hmmm...mine seems a bit low then.

The joy of PCP - I don't really care, and we never do more than 50miles a day in it anyway.
