Small issues/quirks

Sounds like brakes. Motor seems unlikely as it's FWD.

 

Would be nice if the LKA status (green or white) would be placed into the HUD to let you know if its active (green) or waiting (white).

To the two other Ontario PPL. Im in rochester, so similar weather. Im getting around 4-4.5 Miles/kWh. Rough calc is 14-15.6 / 100km, 95% highway.

 

It has been claimed, in an earlier report on this forum, that they do. I have no way to check it myself.

 

They do on regen 2/3/4.

 

Hey, I'm pretty sure it is, just in a different way then the car icon going white or green. Next time you use your HUD, look at the colors of the side lines. I remember the side lines being white, but when LKA is active they change to green. I will have to test it out again next time I'm out. If I'm wrong I apologize!

 

If LKA is off, there is no sidelines in the HUD. If it's on but cannot detect the lane they are gray, and if it detects sidelines they are white. If you drift off the according line will flash.

The hud lines dont turn green. They are either grey ( not detected ) or white ( detected ).

Correct, but the LKA on the dash needs to be green prior to it doing anything. It looks like you see the lines go from grey to white on the hud to indicate it detects the lines. Even if the lines are white on the hud, indicating it has detected the lines, it still may not LKA. I've noticed the indicator on the dash will turn green when its active, and be grey while it isnt.

It seems like the dash LKA status will change from green to white and back with no notice to the driver other than that small status on bottom of dash.

 

I live in BC and don’t get great efficiency. Over the 2400km I’ve driven since February, I’m averaging 18.5kwh/100km. I believe it has a lot to do with my type of commute: 64km roundtrip (95% on the highway) with tons of gradual hills both ways. When I drove 30km in the city, I had 12.5kwh /100km. The efficiency return from regen isn’t enough to improve my efficiency when on the highway doing 90-115km up inclines just to keep up with traffic. What I did notice was focusing on coasting at level 0 (as opposed to regen) on my descents and flats has improved my efficiency to 14-15kwh/100km. Reducing speed to 90kmh max and not using hvac had minimal impact. As noted by another, the EV efficiency history or whatever (green leaf symbol on AV screen main menu) is really useful for charting all this stuff.

 

I'm beginning to think that those reporting such high efficiency simply have commutes and driving habits and conditions that lend themselves to efficiency: Stop and go, city speeds, downhills etc. My efficiency has been very consistent - along with my habits and commutes. The only variable I have no influence over is ambient temperature and the car is certainly responding to that change as expected. My total charges have been rising in lock step with rising outdoor temps.

 

Wildeyed, do you take your phone to bed to be able to post at 4:30 in the morning

 

Some of us are unlucky enough not to live in BC!

 

I'm sorry, I thought we all were blessed. I guess you get up by 7:30 then!!!

 

also, your username sounds so BC ish.

 

I think the username sounds Alaskan. lol

 

Twice now I've found "smart cruise unavailable - conditions not met" on dry days when there's no external reason. Both times turning the car off and on corrected it. However, this time I ran vehicle diagnostics while it was malfunctioning and it said something like my car may be "experiencing a condition" and a full diagnostic at the dealer is recommended. Anybody else ever get such a message? Did anyone else run diagnostics and get a similar prompt?

 

I wasn’t using cruise control but I ran the diagnostics and got that error message too. The dealer reset it saying there didn’t seem to anything wrong

 

I had the same issues. It seems that touching the braking pedal fixes the issue. From what I've read , one condition for the smart cruise control is to have used the brake pedal X amount of time before using the smart cruise control.

 

It seems like you have to have used the brakes within a certain period prior to turning on cruise. I used cruise yesterday on the highway, disabled it while going through a town, then had the conditions not met message when trying to enable it again.
