Finally got mine delivered today :-)
How are you guys getting on with charging? I’ve got a HyperVolt charger so put it on charge (plug and charge) and it stopped charging after about an hour. I’ve just unlocked the car as was about to unplug the charger and plug it back in but unlocking it has kicked the charging off again.
Any steps I’m missing?

Works flawlessly with my Zappi. Have heard of people having issues with timed charging with some models but not anyone saying charging stops mid session or anything like that.

Yeah think it’s a charger issue if anything as seems to be working better now ie charger app properly displaying the current session and voltages etc which it wasn’t before. Interestingly I’m in the car just familiarising myself with the controls etc and the battery meter is on 100% but then there’s also the orange charging symbol on at the same time. Is that right?
My mistake for not checking the battery meter before lol but I assume once it’s charged to 100% it just stops charging?

If you leave it plugged in for another hour it'll start again and charge to 120%Interestingly I’m in the car just familiarising myself with the controls etc and the battery meter is on 100% but then there’s also the orange charging symbol on at the same time. Is that right?

LOL! Yeah I’m an idiot - it stopped charging because it was fully charged 
You’d think this was my first EV! Thanks though guys.
Only taken it for a quick spin and it’s a nice drive. Definitely see what people are saying about the suspension but I think it’s soft enough not to bother you too much - time will tell.
Interior seems fine too - no complaints.
Apple CarPlay working flawlessly so far.
Now I just need to get one of those back covers as this will be my daily.

I don’t find the ride that bad, don’t really notice it now. But the quirky, sometimes frustrating, Chinese pick up has really grown on me. I enjoy driving it, it gets some attention and I’ve made much more use of the rear bed than I thought I would, picking up diy supplies and doing a couple of tip runs.
We have an iPace, and as that is currently being repaired a Land Rover Evoque, and at the moment I always take the keys to the T90 as it just does what it says on the tin, no frills, but gets you from a to b effortlessly. I like it.

Yeah I agree after driving it some more tonight. It’s definitely not that bad at all especially considering it weighs 3.3 tons lolI don’t find the ride that bad, don’t really notice it now.

Took a few friends out in and they all loved it. One of those friends is waiting for his to be delivered and he can’t wait now after driving mine.
I personally won’t really get any use out of the bed but it’ll be a nice spacious boot once I get the cover for it lol but bit sad I’ll have to take the sports bars off as I think they look nice.
Very impressed at this price point and looking forward to driving it some more which is always a good sign :-)

My mistake - read gross weight instead of kerb.
Anyone have any issues with the front parking sensor? Might doesn’t seem to be working. Nothing audible or visual from it. The rear camera and sensor work fine.

I saw what I thought looked like a sensor on the front bumper just under the bonnet. That added with the Birds Eye view you get on the infotainment system had me sold

Why does my car only charge to 100%!? WHY have I hit this tree with no beeps to warn me!?!?!?!?!

I’ve got one more dumb question :-) on the CVL ad for this deal it said it had heated seats but I don’t think mine has it.
I might pull CVL up about it and see what they say…
