Octavia iv real elec range
With my estate iV now at 1000mls of driving over three weeks since delivery.. Running AC as a constant, driving in full electric largly on motorway it is returning 32/35 driving miles range before being depleted. Pretty much as I had hoped for tbh, if it marginally increases on that in warmer times then great, if it does not I wont loose any sleep! Am maninly charging during the day from the 3-pin charging cable as the wall mount 7kW charger we have typically has a Polestar or a Tesla plugged into it!! No idea how long it takes to charge from flat but its fully chargered by the time I leave for home each day. The commute home is full electric and then I have something like 2 to 5 miles of electric range remainig the next moring, but always in full hybrid mode with depleted battery by the time I plug back in at work the next morining. In sport it regenerates quite well I have found, in under 30 miles I can eaasily see the depleted battery rise to around 8% charge status, though of course you use a little more petrol driving that way.

Octavia iV Granny charging - How to get full charge
Not of any immediate granted.. Had my iV three weeks and only charge at work, the single wall charger typically has someything fully EV plug in so I also use the 3-pin charger plugged into domestic wall socket. Other than setting a user profile for myself for radio /screen layout etc, I have not messed about with the charging settings they are as come from the dealer, no idea how long its takes but some when from 08:30 to early afternoon its fully charge at 98% odd.

Option to disable headlight washer
As interested myself in the topic.. Googling shows loads of chat on the same topic on the mk.3 Octavia forum of Briskoda. Outside of any programming option the may or may not be possible? One thought being, as almost all do perhaps. With having headlights on the auto function, effectively on; is then the wash frequency greater than if you manually used headlights in off/sidelight only/main beam?

Must say at circa 400mls in, I am very impressed with mine. Ride is superb, comfortable, first experience of DSG auto - smooth, SEL trim well appointed. And (thus far!) no funny upsets with the tech!!!!

Estate roof rack
Having just taken delivery of my 2023 Estate I need to purchase a roof rack (paddle board transport..), I've zero interest in any sort of roof rack that requires a manual allen-key type bolt being done up to sercure it in place, its time and effort to fit / remove from teh car. Who has and can recomend a decent mechanism type roof rack thats sercureed in place with a simple intergrated latch type fitting that requires no loose tool? Thanks (Photo - old mk. 3, with a cheap allen-key wind-up fitment roof rack - Not what I want this time!!)

Well news in recent last days, now confirmed build week beginning 4th September. So as was at week 36 but now 'cast in stone' or in Skoda dealer speak gone from status code 10 to status code 20!! So looks like a potenial keys-in-my-hands deliver late September / early October on a 73-plate. Tbh I am looking forward to it as the current "hand me down intereim car, Mecerdes A250e" really doesn't suit family life and the ride isn't great either really. Hopefully its going to be a good experience being back in a Skoda, the last diesel Octavia was a total lemon but thats a story for another day! My SEL iV estate should like like this, image from orginal order configuration.. The only option being the change of rims.

Another SEL Estate iV ordered here.. Ordered January 2022 and since early June of this year I also have had a build week 36, delivery anticapted for late Sept/early Oct. Honestly I am only semi-convinced at the moment that I'll see the car then!!!!

Build date 'confirmed' back in April as week 37 and again earlier this week remains 'confirmed' as week 37, thats week beginning September 11th.. We will see!! Prior to April's notice it had sat on week 50 for a while.
