  1. While I agree with your point, when I preordered my car the marketing brochures were all I got at that time. sadly they will use every kind of preproduction and marketing misleading to catch you.
  2. Yes, sadly there is an error in the general process of scheduled charging . I have no idea how it's sorted by other manufacturers as this is my first EV but: 1) There should not be red light displayed as nothing is wrong. The cable is plugged correctly. 2) the cable is not locked, so unlucky owners of untethered charging point are in risk of losing their cables as it's not locked on any side
  3. it's there, but not working: https://myenergi.info/kia-ev6-pre-heat-preconditioning-problem-t4584.html
  4. Perchede is correct. just drop the main screen down, then you will see notification screen and you can remove them
  5. if podpoint scheduling is worse than Enyaq that I am very deeply sorry. I was sure that I won't see more useless UX than Skoda scheduler
  6. is there anyone here who successfully forced Enyaq (Enyaq, I am not interested in Superb iV or citigo iV) to integrate with Amazon Alexa (preferably) or Google Home, without installing additional dev tools, playing with github etc? For Alexa skills looks like Enyaq release was such surprise for dev team that they forgot add it to integration layer. For Home I stuck on linking skoda-connect.com account with Skoda connector, I can call Skoda assistant but then after asking for turning the AC on, google ask me to link account with skoda-connect. Help please?
  7. more, because in Enyaq tall adult with feet size 12/46 can sit behind himself and still got some space for feet.
  8. is that still happening after you disable the sign recognition system?
  9. wr0na replied to Fran57's topic in Skoda Enyaq
    I can confirm. got the led lights package and there is no issue with the camera.
  10. going to do as soon as I got a minute
  11. I know, that's why I am interested IF we have this technology onboard. because by default we are just using a single key and keep second 'in the safe place' just in case. but if the keys remember THEIR default setting then this is a different story (but not mentioned in the manual whatsoever )
  12. but you know you have memory seats button on the side of the seats?
  13. do you have any information about that?
  14. weird. my lease company gave me two sets of keys. I would simply not agree on a single key deal 😕
  15. I am sorry... but... why?
  16. got this one: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011NSX27A?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
  17. I got something like this : you can also find some on amazon: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Stayhold-SH-SHB008-STAYHOLD®-Super-Orange/dp/B017BOSMD4/ref=psdc_2481730031_t2_B08CZVS7VC but I really like my lidl one visible in the background. they have velcro for light hold and some.. 'claws' to hold into the surface if they are weighted with some grocery bags.
  18. AFAIK this two plastic with velcro thingie are the part of transport pack. If you don't have transport pack you got solid plastic side pocket dividers (and thats how I am using my velcro parts right now). I've also got two velcro bag holders from Lidl. more than enough No, but I plan to do that this weekend.
  19. Oh BTW... if you want to see how great and accurate Skoda satnav is, just take a look. Culinaris exists in Cambridge since 2015. Skoda Vs Waze.
  20. without a doubt. also, this is with the variable floor in top position as I wanted to keep some items under the floor. if you remove the styrofoam inserts you can lower the floor and pack even more.
  21. Absolutely. I think you can easily compare interior to Kodiaq. I am 187cm tall and I can sit behind myself even with the plastic table. You also have luggage space for four adults. please check following photos. yw!
  22. Like I said above, driving slower on the B-roads is the best tactics, BUT because I HAD to drive for 17-21 hours to be there on my dentist appointment I couldn't risk getting slowed down by lack of fast charger on some off-the-field location. Thats why going motorway and drinking coffee every hour was my only choice (two stars experience, do not recommend). then, yes, outside Germany and Netherlands you have to use apps like ABRP to schedule your trip. I was working in combo mode. So I planned my trip on ABRP, then I had ABRP in the background on my phone with EVNotify on. While I used an address from ABRP with Waze. The reasons are simple: * ABRP on android auto can be temperamental, I had some cases when IF application on the phone decided that there is a better route, application on the infotainment just froze and no longer show any updates on guidance (ABRP for AA is still in BETA phase) * two times ABRP decided to guide me to charging station via technical access only roads 😃 lucky for me, station service agreed to buzz me in. Thank you guys! As soon as you have a charging station on every petrol services or maps/waze got this functionality I would be extremely happy, till then I will pay for ABRP before every holidays
  23. This is a very good question. So yes.. EVs are literally made for going B-roads. after a week ABRP learned my driving style so well that it could predict state of battery on the final destination up to a single percentage. Guess what, if (in case of the accident and major traffic jam) I decided to leave the motorway and go B-roads instead I was able to save 20-30% of my battery!! But there is a downside, in countries like Poland, fast chargers are located mostly next to motorways, so in fact you are forced to drive in non-optimal way. And because I was unlucky to drive across Germany at evening/night I decided to go with motorways to reduce the chance of meeting wildlife on country roads, but if you have to do 200 miles, and you know that there is a charger at the end of the road, I would take b-road every single time. Skoda is just made for this kind of trips, 70mph, panoramic roof open, no engine noise, DCC in comfort mode. I love it. charging stations, again, it depends on the country. I had to wait for a spot...ONCE. and I decided to go for the next charger. In countries where EVs are popular (like NL or DE) you will find 4-6 chargers on every station, so while you are not alone, you will not have to wait. In ev-developing-countries (like PL) even if you have a single fast (but still slow - 50kW) charger, you are the only one there for 95% cases. In current stage the infrastructure is the key. you simply HAVE to get a wallbox to make bEV efficient. For me PHEV would be the optimal choice. I am doing a lot of short trips. my daily schedule is like: dropping kid to school at 8.45 am, going 15+15 miles to gym at lunch time, taking kid to gym 15+15miles in the evening. so any type of phev with 30-40 miles of range would cover my needs. BUT with UK available grants and salary sacrifice programmes going BEV was even cheaper. so I leased my Skoda. I expect that in 3 years we will be in completely different situation. I plan to buy a larger BEV (something like 7 seater) for trips, and some small city car (Honda E, fiat 500).
  24. I was using google assistant all the time, to change navigation or music. we also have Alexa at home so entire family is used to voice controlled devices, that's why seeing laura so useless is so disappointing. I know, we had MME test drive. it was nice to drive (but Polestar 2 is still the best in that field), but absolutely not optimal. I love the size of enyak trunk, if wish we could get sliding rear bench or at least adjustable seat angle.
  25. Hi Folks, my summer trip is over. We did 4500 miles from East of the UK to Newcastle, (ferry), Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Gdansk, Warsaw, Gdansk (you can see the pattern), Warsaw, Amsterdam, (ferry), Newcastle, home. We got almost fully specced IV60, three people on board and a hell of luggage (because we haven't seen our families for almost two years). Long story short: I would buy this car again. Long story longer: I would also modify the spec. So from the start. I love how this car looks, in-and outside. Let me say that Newcastle border officers were so amazed that THIS is Skoda that they completely ignored the fact that we were carrying WMD (7yo with an urge to resume his Rammstein playlist). At every single charging point (If we were not alone), someone was there with questions. It looks crazy good. Now, interior. We selected Lodge to have a bright eco-friendly (as much as possible) interior. I love how the fabric knee rest stays soft and cool on extremely hot days (yes, sometimes I am driving in shorts). I used to hate front cupholders, I am still unhappy, but thanks to a really spacious driver zone, I can live with door pocket bottle holders. The rear bench... well, I can just tell you that thanks to EV architecture and no middle tunnel it's marvellous. I can sit behind myself without any problems and I can switch Isofix mounting while being inside instead of running around the car. top three packages that you 'must have'. 1) driver assistance - OMG. I love it. really, got the Plus version, this greatly reduces your fatigue on the motorways. All you have to do is to control the environment and squeeze the wheel every 45-60 seconds. Other than that it's almost an autopilot (on motorways). Two negatives: sometimes the system reads speed limits from the past (roadworks?) or from the road above/below. Trust me you don't want to feel an emergency stop to 60 km/h while you were going 164km/h. The second, system is VERY lane centric, so if some safe-distance-sceptic driver wants to cut in front of you, your car will start to slow down only when his beemer hit the middle of the lane. too late. Same case with bikers. The system tends to completely ignore them if they are overtaking you by going next to the edge. 2) light and view - IF you plan to travel at night this is 'night and day' (sorry, I had to). The lights are amazing. One weak spot. IF your motorway got mid-size lane separators, you will blind truck drivers, as the system will not see their main lamps, so will not cut the light. Sorry folks! 3) HUD. shows everything you need in a better way than the main cluster. Sadly AR nav works only with terrible onboard navigation. Now, what I would change. I could any day forget about the sleeping package and trunk controlled towing hook to get a motorised tailgate. I hate this hatch. I have to close it twice to make sure it's closed only to discover it's still open when I start the car. In the past, I was the person who said 'ignore the battery size, charging speed is more important'... and no, or.. yes and no. Because I had to go across Germany (twice) and Poland (four times), I was forced to use motorways, and with a 60kW battery, it was like 1:10h of driving 45minutes of charging, rinse and repeat. The 60 is a perfect size for everyday use, but as soon as you plan some truly serious distances, you should consider a bigger battery, especially if in your country you don't have a lot of really fast chargers. Meeting Tesla owners in a queue for a single 50kW charger is not a pleasant experience. Because I don't plan to repeat this trip next year I am fine with my 60. But I was really surprised how hard is to find a fast charger when you need one. What I miss: * rear bench domestic plug (for the UK spec). Seriously, we paid the same price, continental Europe got the plug, we got a cover. On the longer trips, you really want to plug in your laptop while you are charging your car for the sixth time. * A/Ced compartment. this is an EV. having a small cooled compartment in the glovebox or in the armrest is something that sounds like a natural idea, you don't have to care about power! but no. * 40/20/40 split and adjustable rear bench. Like I showed in my previous posts you lose a lot of space because of rear seats angle. If you could make them more upright the trunk would be so much more useful What I don't like, also known as 'the first world problems list': * laura. * central cluster, lucky for me I got HUD, but listen. On your central cluster you can't find information about the current status of the battery (in percentage), you can't check your energy usage (in m/kW or kW/100km), but you can see that you have a charging port on the right!! and that you can have D or B mode. No seriously. You have a constant reminder that the charging port is on the right. Like you forgot about that since last charging, it was yesterday after all. * right thumb fidget spinner. If you buy a driver assistance package the controller under the most powerful finger of your body is obsolete, to compensate that Skoda decided to hide ACC distance controller at the top of an additional controller on the left side, constantly hidden behind the steering wheel. Why? Because **** logic (or because we decided to reuse some parts from older models). * shutting down the car instantly after raising your butt from the seat. As a UK driver on my continental Europe trip I had to leave my seat to pick up motorway toll ticket, parking entry ticket, buzz myself in, pickup my sweet chilli twister, venti latte macchiato with double caramel, triple espresso and pumpkin spice at least four times a day. and after every single raising my bum off the seat I had to wait two minutes to reconnect my android auto, resume navigation, restore ev notify. because the car wanted to save 0.0000000001kWh of energy. * laura. * single wireless charging mat without any ventilation - self-explanatory. after 10 hours I decided to switch to cable. I could not afford to get my phone exploded. * touch-sensitive control for the roof. the worst solution ever. if only some assistant could open and close the roof for you, or wait... * laura - the most useless part of the car * rear window wiper - you waste 80% of liquid because the jet is so much on the left * front window jets - fine in the UK, but above 120km/h they hardly hit the middle of the window * shortcut buttons - they work as a separate layer, which means that if you press clima button, and then you want to switch to android auto with the favourite bar, you have to close the clima menu by clicking the button again even if the shortcut is still visible. * user experience of infotainment - best example, climate control. you got three controls for each seat, blue minus, a numeric representation of temperature, red plus. Now my expectation, if I press blue minus, the temperature is reduced by half of the degree, if I press the number I got a numeric selection, the red plus increase the temp by a half degree. Easy, right? NO! pressing anything turns the screen to almost black, then you can select temperature from numeric selection (while plus/minus automatically change temp by half deg). You were watching navigation while your wife decided that's too cold inside? bad luck. Another example? When you turn your parking assist on, sometimes (quite randomly) you got a settings menu that covers the top of the screen, just where your fronts sensors and camera are. So you can't see how close you are to a concrete wall, but you can launch the menu to change the brightness of the screen. Seriously? The same thing with the air purifying, when you start the option you see the HUGE logotype in the middle, you touch it and nothing happened... because the button is in the top left corner. just close to the continental driver, and the most hidden place for the UK driver, because who would check the spec of the car, right?. Another one? If you turn the climate off, in the top right corner you see the vent with the slider, which suggest that you could just touch it and turn the climate on, right? No, you have to find the climate button behind your cups, press, turn it on, press again to turn the menu off, why... oh why... (also, I am available if you are looking for user experience quality tester) * laura even if the negatives' list looks extensive, this is nitpicking (with a small exception for laura, she is really useless). I still consider this car as the best in the segment in June 2021 (still have to check Ioniq 5 and EV6). I truly miss P2 acceleration, but then I remember the single cupholder and I am happy with my choice. See you on the road!
