Do you just mean the gps was hunting for a signal and the time on screen was probably wrong?

Just go for a drive or leave it and it will find it, fairly common but corrects itself with a better signal.

The 4g and GPS started working again but status won't update on the app. Think someone had this issue in the forum?

It just seems to do that sometimes. ie the time it updated last to show mileage etc is wrong? Mine was like that last night. It was charging but the app didnt recognise it was, this morning its all up to date.

Thats quite disappointing on what is such a spec'd out car. Whilst I'm used to no cameras as my MK2 TT doesn’t have them the Mrs might struggle.

Our current lease (Nissan Qashqai) has both the sensors and 360 cameras. Work perfectly well together.

Got mine yesterday and drove back from Swansea to Swindon, a lot to figure out and dial in but decent so far, it does pass one important test for the "small boot"...

Did you get a parcel shelf or have you just removed it for the picture!?

I did get a parcel shelf and frunk - I took it out (and have the boot mat) for the dog. This is a late July order delievered mid October but the dealer held it back for me as my current least not up until this month... All should have those and the black interior as standard now.

Just picked up mine now!
What has everyone done with the servicing plan. I am told it needs both services (though debate how true that is if I hand it back after 1y51weeks
Servicing plan for the 2 years seems to be £11pm which seems good for two services required
Thanks

Depends how much they charge for a service really, does anyone know? Or had Stellantis EV's for an idea? My wife's eNiro cost £64 for the first service, about what it should cost but this was before dealers got wise to cashing in! My BMW i3 cost £300!

I was told 1st service would be around £150, so I'm considering the £11 a month service plan on the off-chance I keep it a bit longer (if extensions are possible and reasonable).

On another note, I'm looking for a 128GB USB flash drive for the built-in dash cam. Any recommendations and I'm sure I read that only the USB-C is a data port?

The USB-A port says 'REC' which I thought meant it was suitable for dash-cam recording.

I've been looking at USB-C 3.2 flash drives but all the ones with decent write speeds (which I assume you need) sound like they overheat.

I can’t easily see what the servicing cost is online. I need to do some research tonight and try to work out what is best.

The biggest issue I found driving back is the ACC Braking on motorway journeys around ‘corners’. As soon as you are in cruise in the outside lane and hit a gradual corner at speed it slows you down. Seems to be once the wheel is turned more than 2 or 3 degrees - anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

Also is anyone else charging using the granny charger. Mine is only drawing 5a when I thought it should draw 10a - any thoughts?

I use the USB-A port for recording with a 128gb stick, it automatically allocates the 32gb it requires, I've got films and music on the rest of it. Has to be FAT32 formatted which Windows doesn't do as standard though.

The notes doing the rounds on the next update in January say about fixes to the ACC system, I think they're for the B10 but dealers have said it's for the C10 too.

I've only charged on type 2 which draws about 17-18 amps from memory, charged at 6.3kw which is a little down on my VW Buzz and Ford Explorer (same platform and battery) which get around 6.6kw.

I've picked mine up today. Really happy with the car and I can confirm a 128GB USB C is working in the front USB C socket for dashcam recording. I plan to get a SanDisk Extreme Fit 128GB which will hopefully fit in neatly.

There are quite a few things to learn and hopefully the updates will fix a few of the issues it has such as jerky ACC, steering wheel button not changing mode when One Pedal is enabled.

Thanks for confirming regarding the USB for recording.

I was frustrated with ACC on my first drive home. I expected it to be better than basic CC. I've never had adaptive CC before but can you not switch it to non-adaptive/basic speed limiter CC?

I also had a strange experience where the speakers starting crackling really badly using the radio until I switched it off for a minute then back on again. I thought it was a reception issue but it was on a DAB station and continued when trying multiple other stations.

I've also have a charging issue, as only getting half the charge rate with a new Ohme ePod install. Going to test my car at another home charger and try another car on mine to see where the problem is.

Is “safe limit” switched on in the charging screen in settings, that restricts charging speed.

Turn it off, if it is.

No speed limiter or normal cruise.

Are you using Ohme and octopus!

There is a lot of issues surrounding Ohme at the moment only allowing charging at much less then the max speed.

So could be that

Got the leapmotor but not got my Ev charger fitted yet. Queried with octopus and they said maybe ocotopus intelligent isnt suitable for the vehicles so look into ocotpus go. Anyone had this issue or able to help

No that’s rubbish, a few months ago the C10 wasn’t listed as a car that was compatible with intelligent go but it now is but all of that’s irrelevant as when you get the charger fitted you just link the charger to Octopus and let them control the charging.

You don’t need to worry about programming the car or the charger app just let octopus control the charging and it’s irrelevant what car it’s plugged into.

Octopus intelligent go isn’t compatible with the Leapmotor however if you get your charger from octopus or a charger that is compatible with octopus intelligent go it doesn’t matter what car you are charging. I use an Ohme charger and that charges both our MG and now our Leapmotor via intelligent octopus go.
