I disabled this in mine - it's in the driving assistance menu on the main screen somewhere - "Speed limit preview" or similar. Once I turned that off, it doesn't automatically change the ACC target speed based on signs it passes. And it's an option which stays turned off between journeys too.

Never understood why the dash cam isn't part of the car nowadays - it has a camera in it anyway for all the driver assist stuff, so it just needs somewhere to put an SD card for recording and some menu updates.

Hmmm - not what the dealer said. Was told it charged at 100kW to about 80% then slowed down. Plus on that graph, I should have been seeing approx. 70kW charge if I was at 50% battery, dropping below 50kW once reaching 80%. I got no more than 42kW, dropping to 30kW by the time I stopped at 87% charge. Incidentally I have only done one other fast charge from about 20% on a 50kW charger and only got 42kW max on that too. I put that one down to the charger, but now I'm not so sure.

I had to do a long journey today. Stopped at the Rugby Moto services where Gridserve have 350kW CCS chargers. Yet my Enyaq only charged at (max) 42kW, despite it having the 100kW option on it. A VW ID.3 near mine was charging at 72kW (the chargers all display the rate). I was only down to 50% battery when charging, but I did expect it to go fast until 80% or so and then maybe slow down. Has anyone actually done a fast charge on the Enyaq? It did slow down to 30kW or so as it went past 80%. I stopped it at 87% as I knew that would be enough for the day. Also, other than the dealer saying it was on the car (I bought it from stock), is there any way I can check the option is actually installed? I'll be giving them a call anyway on Monday...

Even if that 40% figure is accurate, that's hardly going to make a huge impact anyway - that's only 40% power saving for the heating of the car interior, not the overall power consumption of the car. I have no idea how much the Enyaq consumes for heating the car interior from cold, but I do know that in the hot weather we've been having, the aircon maxed out at 2.5kWh/h on the consumables readout that replaces the instantaneous mi/KWh when the car is stopped. Which seems reasonable - 2.5kW of power being used to cool the car. I would expect heating to be much the same - that's a decent sized fan heater's worth of power - which I am sure would heat up an interior the size of a car relatively well. If that is made "40% more efficient" then it would be 1.5kW (or, to put it the odd way the car describes it, 1.5kWh/h). Or a saving of 1kWh/h. Not a massive amount. A journey of 30 miles in that hour might use up, say. 10kWh in that time (I'm using a 3 mi/kWh guess there for winter driving - you may get more). Overall you'd use 11.5kWh instead of 12.5kWh in that hour journey. So around 8-9% overall energy savings. Noticeable, but as long as you aren't needing the full range, I'm not sure it's worth the ~£1K outlay.

Couple of questions for existing owners - first of all, my charging cable only came with a removable cap on one end, which is a bit odd. Is that normal? It's also just solid black, whereas all the pictures I can find on Skoda's sites seem to show a yellow cable. I'm not bothered, but just wondering if mine has been changed before supply. The manual (digital one I downloaded) also implies there is a "charging cable pocket" that fits in the left side storage space in the boot (page 239), but mine was just coiled loose - is that pocket part of the Transport package option? And has anyone purchased a replacement cable had has any recommendations / do not buys? I could do with a 10m long one at home. I'm assuming if it is Type 2 to Type 2 and can handle the full 32A I'll be fine, but sometimes one brand stands out over others. Thanks!

Must be the day for Race Blue Metallic Enyaqs... Collected today. Dealer stock 60 Loft model I decided to take, so not the perfect spec, but close enough. Drive Basic. Drive Assistance Plus. Convenience Plus. 100kW charging. Light and View Basic. Parking Basic. Climate Basic. Got 3.6 miles/kWh on the way home, which I thought was OK given the aircon on strong and a climb over a 1,400 ft hill to get here. Mind you, the regen on the way back down was good! I thought I'd leave half the plate showing as getting one beginning DC seemed appropriate for a first electric car. Can't seem to get the "foot waving" boot to work reliably yet, but will persevere. Wish I could get the driving data onto the cockpit - would fit nicely into the right hand segment when not using satnav and allow me to scroll through the values like on the rest of the Skodas using the right thumb-wheel, but otherwise most things seem to make sense. Got stuck for a while behind a tractor in a small queue, so enabled the ACC and Driving Assist and it practically drove itself along the road, which was entertaining. The pACC seemed to do well too once I was free - slowed down fine for upcoming bends - probably something that works better on rural roads. Not yet tackled the charging - a few more days until my PodPoint is installed. And I wish I'd known you only got one umbrella (but oddly, still the passenger slot for one). I'd have kept one from my previous Kodiaq!

You mean it isn't one of those "self-charging" cars? The dealer has won the race. I will have the Enyaq 13 days before the wall charger. Rural area means nothing over 7kW closer than 20 miles away that I can find, so this is very much into the deep end about planning routes that can take advantage of when I do venture towards them. Luckily no need to daily commute at the moment.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up going with a PCP deal anyway - had a decent enough residual on my existing PCP lease to provide a down-payment, pushed a decent enough deal as I was taking a car from dealer stock which wasn't perfect in terms of options, but close enough, and will be collecting it in the next couple of weeks. In fact, it's a bit of a race between the dealer to make the car available and PodPoint to install the home charger. I suspect the dealer is going to win which might be awkward...

OK, I get the reason, but it actually works out more - in my example above, the leasing company then charges you £4,372 over the term for £3,405 of extras. Not a good deal at all. Hopefully a PCP deal will come out better - there should be some extra residual in my existing car as it has barely moved in 15 months!

OK - been looking into an Enyaq, but I've spotted this: The finance calculator only gives me leasing. I've selected a 12,000 miles per annum, medium package, 6 months initial, 48 monthly payments. For the base Nav 60 Loft, priced at £31.995, that comes out at £2,490 initial payment and £415 per month. If I spec it up a bit, I ended up at £35,400. That's a 10.6% increase in price over the base model. But the leasing jumps to £2,974 initial and £496 monthly - which is a 19.5% increase. Anyone know why this is? Have they got a "cheap" headline deal hardwired for the base model for advertising? Are those leasing quotes online accurate, or do you get a "proper" one at the dealer?
