They are GigiSynergy tyres. I guess I just expected better for such an expensive car. Seems a poor area to cheap out on to be honest. Does anyone know what the peddles do on the steering wheel? I thought they adjusted brake regen, but on my car, I haven't been able to get them to do anything. Regardless of drive mode etc. Unsure if I am doing something wrong. Thanks

Yes, it has all the updates. Mines a Sportsline, so 20 inch wheels as well. Giving shouldn't be anywhere near the sportline trim. I was expecting Hancook or pirelli.

So, picked up the car today. Things noticed so far: The tyres are poor. Brand - Giti. On a £46k car? Unacceptable Skoda. Had noticable slippage driving home in the rain. So that really soured the whole experience. Software - quite responsive - but anything linked to online (so the online services etc) - just keeps spinning the whole 'Please wait' nonsense - even with full bars of 4G. We had the same on my wifes Octavia when we got it in 2020. Thought Skoda would have sorted it in almost 6 years, but obviously not. Shame. Car itself - so far so good. It's a really nice car. Will take a bit getting used to an EV, coming from a 2ltr diesel. So overall, mixed start. The tyres have urked me no end. Especially as pricing up some decent ones is currently costing £800+.

Hi folks, Had a call from my local dealer yesterday to confirm that my new Elroq has arrived (ordered start of February), and it’s due for collection on Thursday. Really looking forward to it! It’ll be my first EV, and I’m coming from a 66‑plate Skoda Superb L&K 2.0 TDI with just over 141,000 miles on it. I've had it almost 10 years, love it. I’ve already had a Hypervolt 3 charger installed, so everything’s ready to go. Pretty buzzing! For those who already own an Elroq: Do you have any advice for a first‑time EV owner? Anything I should check, set up, or be aware of when I pick it up (other than just enjoying it 😄)? I’ve got a feeling the standard tyres might not be the best—bit disappointing from Skoda on a car at this price point—but I’m not quite ready to drop nearly £1k on a set of Continental all‑seasons just yet. Car: Škoda Elroq SportLine 85 Added Equipment: Graphite Grey Metallic Front aluminium door‑sill covers Front & rear mud flaps Foldable tow bar Winter Package Maxx Package Heat pump Driver Package 5‑year / 100,000‑mile extended warranty

I also had the ghost light, and after replacing it, it stopped. So it seems a new one sorts it. Likely a faulty senior.

Lucky you. Mine was in a garage for 7 months and still has software issues.

As someone who owns an SEL - avoid. Seriously.

Yes, The infotainment system isn't fit for purpose. The garage had mine in to fix for 8 months. It still has bugs. I'll never get a Skoda again. Glad others have had no issues though. Makes me wonder how when they have the same software.

Brilliant thanks. I had thought the undertray would be similar to the superb but it isn't. Much less protection.

Yup that's the one. I've a 2ltr diesel dsg SEL FE

Hi folks, Does anyone have a pic of underneath their Octavia at the back with the exhaust etc. I'm trying to see if any undercarriage protection has come off my car. I haven't had much luck on Google images .... Thank you

Well, mine goes back in next THursday as they somehow disabled my sat nav when applying the mph fix. Hoepfully that will be the end of my issues.... I contacted Kate at Skoda UK regarding compensation etc considering they have my car for 7+ months. I didn't get a reply. Either way, I won't buy another Skoda. Oh well.

No warranty extension. Nothing offered in terms of compensation. It was the mph/kmph issue along with all the other bugs on the FE cars.

I have left my Octavia back in this morning. When it was returned to me (after my local garage having it for 9 months), they returned it with 2 issues: 1: The built in sat Nav no longer worked. 2: The rear courtesy lights are turning on and off, constantly. Obviously it wasnt properly checked over before returning it to me. But sure, maybe this time it will be fixed for good.

So this is a screenshot of what my hardware and software etc says now. Two new side effects since getting my car back. One good and one bad. The bad - the built in sat Nav now doesn't work at all. I'm waiting on dealer getting back to me and told them that I thought it was poor they didn't bother to check everything before returning it. The good - Android auto now works wirelessly. It didn't before.
