Re: User profiles and CarPlay

My V2-spec car doesn't have wireless charging, so I guess if you had this, this might be a step backwards for you. Honestly the cable is just straight up better than wireless imo. It's not unheard of for the phone to discharge whilst wireless charging and using wireless android auto. On top of that...

Re: Does regen braking make the brake light come on?

The manual says that the light is based on the deceleration rate of the car. B mode isn't true one pedal driving and you could argue anything except being fully off the pedal in B mode isn't enough deceleration to warrant a brake light. You saw in that video how he still had to use the brake at the ...

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

I believe there is a limit to the number of slots it will schedule in a given night, though I haven't tested it.

Re: Accuracy of state of charge indicator?

I don't think there is any logic behind the figures that are shown, On Wednesday morning, after charging to 80% "My Cupra" showed a potential range of 153 miles. On Thursday, with no trips made, it showed 80% with a potential range of 96 miles. On Friday, after a 34-mile round trip, it sh...

Re: Heated windscreen?

No, the Born does not have a (filament) heated windscreen. In reality, we've found that it's not really needed as you can stick the cabin pre-heater on remotely and even 10 minutes before travelling will leave the car fully defrosted and ready to go. Second this, in reality the car heats up far mor...

Re: Touchscreen updates

I fixed the needing to log in one with a factory reset. The factory reset itself also resulted in a "failed to factory reset" message! :lol: But you still have to click that irritating "OK" button every time you get in the car, right? Absolutely! I need to confirm that as the on...

Re: Keyless Lock/Unlock

Same here, it's the rare exception where it doesn't work rather than any sort of norm, I tend to tap the inside rather than grab the handle too.

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Cupra

The main benefit of letting them control the charge is that you will sometimes get extra slots outside the usual 6 hour window. It has worked fine for me, though it tends to take until 5 mins or so into each window before the car will accept the charge command.

Re: Touchscreen updates

You can also visit a DC fast charger if you're low on power and need to get somewhere quickly. I agree that this car has plenty of issues but that's not going to put me off EVs as a whole, I just won't buy anything from VW group and take my business elsewhere when the time comes. You can imagine if ...
