Do you have memory seats? Otherwise it will not work.

Have you tried to visit dealership for radar and camera calibration?

This is unfortunately normal. In Poland there is standard 2 years warranty for Skoda and VW, but this can be extended to 4 years (in VW i think even to 5). Seat however has 5 years warranty as standard here since some time, before they had 4 years. Remember comparing this to other countries 8 years ago, when i got Leon, and in majority of European countries Seat was offering 2 years only. Stupid thing is, that you can only extend warranty when configuring the car. I got ex-demo, which came with 3 year warranty (only 60k km), and would like to extend it to 4 years, but it's impossible 😞

Got updated in dealership today. Just reported issue with built in navigation not remembering home and work address, and that was enough. So far i can tell it seems more responsive and smooth, addresses can now be saved, and now i have green LED next to SOS button, instead of red. Haven't connected it to ODB11 yet to check if fault in Telemetry module is gone (had it before the update, and couldn't even connect to the module to check what is it).

Ordered

VAG has huge issues with batteries. They are stopping the production of EV for some time now, due to batteries shortage. Probably related to issues with Octavia PHEV.

Fixed that for ya...

Not only Skoda, all manufacturers have issues, although they are managed differently. For example Audi was giving away "free options" to customers in US. Pack called for example "resignation from Android Auto" Just few days ago there was news in Poland, that all orders from last few months for ICE cars with 7DCT gearbox from Kia and Hyundai are now cancelled, and it's probably not only in Poland. Skoda was bad luck, as it was "hit" by door-card factory fire, on top of other issues everyone is having. Was actually considering CLA before i got Octavia (those cars are surprisingly similar, so got much less expensive Skoda) and was told by dealer, that if i ordered in the beginning of June, car would be manufactured in August, as there were still free slots for ICE CLA. So all depends on the model, engine, gearbox and options. Some will probably be made earlier, others much later. Congrats! 🥳

For me this is strange, because one time you say "hybrids are bad, because people are not charging them", and another time you say "hybrids are bad, because people ARE charging them and occupying chargers meant for EV's". Just pointing out, as for me this is a little flaw in your way of thinking. Again we are going back to use case. Many people i know in Poland that own hybrids (and EV for that matter), charge their cars at home, where they have photovoltaic installations. So in this case they are not generating CO2 when charging. They are rarely charging using public chargers. BUT in Poland EV's and hybrids are very expensive compared to average income, so those are usually owned by rather "wealthy" people. It will change in time, when there will be more PHEV's and EV's available on used car market. I chose 1.5 exactly for the same reason, as told already in this thread. Again - PHEV CAN be great in some use cases (if charged). I cannot charge PHEV at home at the moment, only at work. But since working from home most of the time, i wouldn't benefit from that, hence i went with 1.5. It was well thought-through choice in my case. But if i could charge at home, i would go with PHEV. Hope you do understand now my point of view I never said PHEV's are always great. I said they CAN be great for SOME people, that use them as they are supposed to be used. Everyone should carefully choose what is best for them. For some it will be EV, for others PHEV or petrol or diesel. Depends on the use case. And fortunately we have a choice.

So what are you saying? The PHEV drivers should be allowed to charge only at home/work? Why? Because they can get home without charging? But what about being "green" than? Fully agreed. Said it myself earlier, maybe in a bit different words Never said it is possible. 50km is more realistic. And for example that would be enough for me for daily commute. I'm from Poland, so i don't really care about BIK. There's no advantage of having any kind of hybrid in Poland, except for fuel consumption. Would say it's somewhere between EV and ICE, so less green than ICE, but more green than EV. But might be wrong I guess we all know the answer No, you're not a cynic. You're fully right. There was no, and will not be objective comparative measure. All depends on who is paying for the report... True. And to be honest i don't think we will ever find any answer that would take all the aspects in to account. Emissions related to manufacturing of the car are one thing. Then there's question where we are getting electricity from? In Poland mostly from coal still, in Norway for example mostly from renewable sources. Next question is how the car is used? Long or short distances? Is PHEV charged or not? Etc. And last question - is it really CO2 emissions that is causing global warming? Maybe we are focusing on something meaningless? I'm anyway still saying PHEV is really a good idea, granted it's used as it should be.

Why not? Correct, in a way (read below)... Look at this video: Acceleration (at least 0-100km/h) is the same as in case of 2.0. Again - why not? Basically you assume people will not be charging them, but i don't know why. Sure, if it would be bought for a fleet, than most probably that will be the case. But i assume "regular Smith" buys this kind of car knowingly, with assumption it will be charged regularly, so most of the city driving will be done in EV mode, but hybrid mode will allow for long journeys with low/reasonable consumption. Was considering iV for myself, as i could charge it for free at work, so daily commute would be free in EV mode. Thing is, that recently i'm mostly working from home, where i cannot charge it (at least not yet), so that's the reason i didn't get it. But OP, as well as probably many other iV buyers are using it as it's supposed to be used. This means it is "green" (to a point), and it is like 2.0.

Have a good holiday than

@cheezemonkhai why are you comparing iV to 1.5? Better comparison would be 2.0 TSI (similar power output and performance), and suddenly price difference becomes lower, and consumption difference becomes higher. PHEV is actually good solution for SOME use cases, like described already. For me it would also be good, but i decided to go with petrol 1.5. Yes, there are some compromises in case of PHEV. But in case of EV or ICE you also have compromises, just different ones. Good that we have a choice, and everyone can choose what suits them best. If for someone PHEV seems to be a good choice, i don't see the point to try to talk them out of it. For you PHEV is combination of worst thigs about EV and ICE, but for others it might be combination of their best sides. Bad thing is, that soon we will have no choice except for EV's 😞

Well, i don't know of issues others are having, and still waiting to get my car. But if you look at the description of both issues @mitchec is having, for me it points to wrong radar calibration, especially emergency braking problem.

@Skodamk4 are you planning another batch? Would be interested in one.

@mitchec it doesn't seem to be a software issue, that can be fixed with update. You need to get your car to dealership, to get radar calibrated. Friend of mine had similar issues in Kodiaq, and it was fixed with calibration.
