    231 long range 100% charge?

    It'll help speed up charging on a fast charger if it's cold and if you are short of time. Most of the time it's not worth it as it uses the equivalent of about 35 miles of range to pre-heat the battery.

    Can you set the boot to unlock with the rest of the car? - S5 Excite

    I've switched that off. Trying to get the correct foot swipe and nearly over balancing combined with accidentally closing it when reaching for something towards the back of the boot was more trouble than it was worth.

    231 long range 100% charge?

    The range shown by the GOM (Guess 'o' meter) is based on the historic amount of miles per kWh the car has used. This is affected by how you've driven the car, if you've used the heating, and the ambient weather conditions.

    It's ironic that the member without a MG wins Top Contributor 🤣 Not that I'm bitter and twisted although I'm working on it.

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Too right. I live on my own and usually go to my brother's for lunch with my two nieces but this year they both went abroad for Christmas and my brother didn't want to cook lunch just for the three of us. I'm doing well for Christmas meals this year as the previous Friday a group of us went to...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Had a ham and mustard sandwich followed by Comte and Cheddar cheeses with Ritz crackers after an expensive but disappointing lunch. SPOILER ALERT: Major moan ahead. First time ever I went with my brother and his misses to the New Bath Hotel in Matlock for Christmas lunch. The lettuce in the...

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    Not sure what I'm having for Christmas tea yet, it depends on the size of the portions for lunch. But I do know breakfast will be bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast with a cup of builders.

    Rain repellent.

    In theory a clean polished car will have a lower drag coefficient (I got a dictionary for Christmas 😁) than a dirty one. Testing it out would mean a wind tunnel as in the real world there's too many variables which can skew the results. Rain, temperature, wind, road surface, etc. including the...

    Public charging routine in a nutshell

    If you are charging at home (AC) the car has to be locked before it will start charging. If you unlock it the car will pause charging before restarting. Fast charging (DC) it doesn't matter if the car is locked or not. For using a fast DC charger: 1. Plug car into charger 2. Swipe payment...

    Three Months In An S5

    That could be caused by a drop in the ambient temperature.

    Miles per Kw

    That's good for this time of year and helped by the busy motorway as you probably weren't doing much over 60ish.
