    Heated steering wheel - Display sensor data

    This car is truly a great car! Almost a year of ownership and I can't find any major faults in the design. But there is one piece of data I really would like displayed, KWh being consumed. Sure it great to see my KW/100km but when I'm not moving I want to know how much is being consumed by any...

    iOs 10 bluetooth problem

    I have the exact same problem as boatguy! And I'm using the exact same thumbdrive I used to install the version before this update.

    Top half of my ePower semi-circle has gone dark; ltd accel

    When my battery temperature shows lower than -15 Celsius, the indicator shows a reduce bar on the ePower side of the GOM. And the car really behaves lacklusterly. Preconditioning with a minimum of a Level2 30A evse preps the battery to +10c and performance is excellent at even -27c.

    intermittent loss of heat...??

    Well, this has just happened to me today on the way home from work. No heat, thank whomever, we had a heat wave of -1 but I was still cold. If it had been any other day of -20 I'd have froze. Just FYI, I always precondition based on departure time and it has always given me a warm cabin with...

    problem charging - indicator stayed solid white

    Just happened to me yesterday, I couldn't seat the plug properly into the car due to snow. No matter how firmly I was inserting the plug it wouldn't trigger the switch that tells the car that an EVSE is connected and therefore to start charging. I ended up using a wooden toothpick to clean out...

    i remote error

    Yup can confirm! It started failing around 12:25 AM this morning for us. Was able to login and get an update from the car around 10L18AM and has since failed again.

    Bad XM radio reception

    Yes I too have reception issues, trees, building and small overpasses. Can't stand the quality of the sound as compared to Bluetooth/IPHONE playlist or FM.

    More preconditioning options

    I live in Quebec where cold weather exist with abundant inexpensive renewable energy. I use the car often thru the day for errands at work, and would like an option to maintain conditioning, in effect to split the power input to the car for charging and maintaining the battery temperature. I...

    Battery Temperature, isn't 20c the sweet spot?

    I'm going to guess that those blips are the battery thermal management systems kicking in. The curve is usually smooth but this one is from an evening of -22c.

    Having a tough time getting hold of tyres

    Tirerack.com has stock and has rims, last time I looked you could get a set mounted and delivered for about 1700.00

    Battery Temperature, isn't 20c the sweet spot?

    I was just on the OpenEVSE forum and it looks like the temp gauge on the app is showing the evse temps which coincidently match the battery's temp the few time I've compared it. So I will only use the service menu battery temp in the future. Edit: Next Day (Jan 06, 7:29AM) This morning outdoor...

    Battery Temperature, isn't 20c the sweet spot?

    When I get into the car and disconnect it, I unlock the service menu and check the battery temp and I thought it always matches what I see in the App, besides the EVSE is outside in -20c ambient. I will check again tomorrow morning!
