Wish list of Cyberster improvements

[tastyracer]

Pet peeves so far:
1 - the chair doesn't always go back/forth for easy exit/entrance when the doors open/close. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Absolutely no idea why this happens, it's annoyingly inconsistent.
2 - left hand screen, would like it to remember last use so don't always need to move it down from the Sat Nav top page to Apple Carplay.
3 - right hand screen, Driving energy consumption, the vertical scale goes from -20 to 80 miles/kWh, when the average is going to be somewhere between 2 and 4... Can we have a more sensible range?
4 - audio volume decreases when you select reverse... Why?

So all software issues, haven't actually wished for the current 1-7 on the list!

Having exactly same issue with the seat easy entry, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I've tried to link to sequencing of other things but can't pin it down, just seems random. I've never tried opening doors without being in Park so definitely not linked to that.

Having driven the car nearly every day for the last 3 months, think I've got this sorted. (first 3 months, didn't have an EV charger....) Open door, get in, press brake pedal, then close door. When the seat goes fwd, then it will also go back when you open the door to exit.

Electronic Dampers would have added £5000 to the price. You could probably get KW Electric Dampers with Lift Kit. For just under that. I think these are passive and to be comfortable over hard and sporty. Sportier dampers could work but it will be negated by the 1900+KG weight. There will probably be some recommendations for aftermarket mods soon

Variable screen brightness for different scenarios.
Roof open
Roof closed
Night

long press or double press to open/close roof. Why hold it in throughout the operation? Nobody wants a half open/closed roof.

 

[Jackolino]

The reason for keeping the buttons pressed is that you can stop the movement immediately during operation of the roof if someone gets their fingers, arm or head between them.
If this issue cannot be resolved with an update, there will certainly soon be a module available from a supplier for installation that will make this possible and also from the remote control.

I guess safety first if there's no auto-stop like an electric window has. My 1st soft-top, so learning a lot.

One more though:

Why, given all that lovely screen real estate, does the reversing camera take up a thin sliver of one screen? Am I missing an setting/option? This is my 'mid-life crisis' car - my eyes aren't what they used to be, I need all the pixels I can get!

The doors close automatically with buttons on central console. Passenger/driver (already in the car) can easily put their hands between them. The sensor on the outside of the door can't detect that.

Reverse camera view Should be center screen tbh

Cyberster improvement wish list

1. The subwoofer doesn't work. A fix to enable it would be most welcome.
2. Allow the use of cruise control in the Custom drive mode
3. A method to close the boot without having to grab and push down the boot lid
4. Automatically increase the display brightness when the roof is down. A brightness setting suitable for when the roof is up is too dim when the roof is down.
5. Allow the owner to reconfigure the right paddle to provide regen adjustment. Left paddle for regen increase, right paddle for regen decrease. That's common on other EVs and would be more intuitive for anyone driving a sports car used to paddle shifts.
6. Make it possible to open and close the roof with the key fob
7. Proper Balance options for the sound system - and especially Fade options
8. Over The Air Updates. OTA. Setup a UK and Europe Server to enable this. Its almost 2025!
9. Both Paddle shifts can Toggle up/down regenerative braking. Like the KIA you can hold down the left paddle for live regen braking. This can be configured in the menus on center dash.
10. Switchable screens for European cars. Left Screen and Right screens
11. Throttle carries on accelerating after let off. Not immediately responsive possibly with regen off
12. Maps can be moved to the center screen where more visible like Audi with speed and power output still displayed with corner readings.

Not sure if this was there before as I haven’t played around with the menu options in ages…
Unfortunately was in a hurry so didn’t have time to wait to see if there was a proper reply

I check regularly. When it is finished it says something like latest update installed.

Just ran a check, there are no updates.... first attempt at this since receiving the car in Oct.

 

[GranTurismoEra]

Well if anything you guys will probably have OTA before UK. Is it possible that it didnt check and nothing happened. It just assumes that's the latest update?

What version of software does your car say it has ? Thanks Leo

Can this be made a sticky? @Stuart Wright
