the truth about electric cars
In the first part of the video, i linked it from towards the end for the post, he is looking at a traders auction site, the data is keeper register changes from the dvla and the auction declares trader or private entry. The stats arrived at are his calculations from the limited data from that source on that day? On the multiple changes in a year i wonder if it could be trader to trader. There is a car check website that shows "Number of V5c issued" as part of it's info too.

If an ev fits your need "It's a no brainer" But keep an eye on your brakes and tyres? Thinking of starting support meetings. "My name is Mark I used to be a petrol head, it is 11 days since i last bought diesel"

Yet another CarPlay cable question
Could you confirm the usb type in the car? usb b is like a printer cable Is the iphone no longer "lightning" have they changed to usb c now? If you need usb C male to Usb A male there are loads of cables available, but you need to check it's not "charging only" has to be a Data/charging cable

forward collision system not on yet i think. Comes on as i start sometimes Not seen the second red one you mention maybe when you are moving it's a warning it's off or you're too close- Ice to Enyaq iv
Back of the cigarette packet maths for my first 72 miles. 8ppm 2.5 hours x 4hr x 2.3kw x 25p = £5.75 / 72 = 0.07986111p- Adaptive Cruise Control
Most vehicle collisions happen when they are too close together 😉- the truth about electric cars
The two trucks mentioned where at two different sites? The one discussed in depth was to perform movements of logs/wood 4 mile each way. For trucking the goal will to be to get the vehicles capable of meeting Tacho requirements. Cover driving time and charge in breaks. I am sure it will be done.- 7 Speed DSG - how is the manual shift feature supposed to work?
In my experience if you switch to manual it will stay in the gear it is in, if you don't move it again. Except for going slower it will change down to protect itself (1). But when you then drive quicker it will go back up to where you set it Therefore if it is stationary it will show 1 unless you move then you can select 2 and it won't change up any higher. If you are moving and flick to manual it will show the gear it is in and you can change down or up etc. But if the car goes too slow for the gear it will change down, if you select a gear too low it will not change up but may limit the revs if it feels it feels it will cause damage. The experience from Ford,Seat and a Mercedes dsg boxes (1) The engine would stall, it's a computer controlled manual gearbox- Adaptive Cruise Control
The recommended is 2 seconds of time https://www.iam-bristol.org.uk/index.php/articles/associate-s-guide/64-the-two-second-rule At seventy miles an hour your car covers 62.5 metres.. Average car length is 4.5m so nearly 14 cars. many drive closer than that which results in I doubt your garage will change the settings.- Adaptive Cruise Control
Using ACC how far in front of you is the car in front at 70 mph- Parking brake non-functional, ACC not available
It does have standard cruise and a limiter. So i wont be bothering with the payment. I believe though with the acc in an ev it helps optimise regen when in traffic.- Parking brake non-functional, ACC not available
The Enyaq required me to download myskoda to my phone to access charging status etc remotely with my phone, I can set the car to clear the windows and warm the cabin whilst having my breakfast at 6 in the morning when necessary. Whilst doing it the app asked me to go to the car and scan a Qr code on screen to activate. After doing this the car started downloading updates to itself. Also now says hello " xxxx" on screen when getting in and "goodbye xxxx" getting out 😂 The shop contained some stuff labled "£0.00" which when download appeared as "valid until xx/xx/xx " one date was the third anniversary of reg date others ten years. Other options were free for a month with a fee to keep , ACC was £269 after a month. Some of the features were cosmetic like extra colours for the interior lighting.- Parking brake non-functional, ACC not available
This may or may not be related. But i bought an Enyaq on Sunday and thought it had acc in the spec advertised but when i tried to use it i got that message "Not available" Trying to find out with someone hopefully has a decent vin checker specific to vehicle not model. In the myskoda app in the car it is there as a purchasable option, could it have been removed with a corrupt software update? Has it appeared there in your car?- the truth about electric cars

I have been a Diesel die hard for forty years. So this is to help those on the fence. Thinking there are possibly others I will post my experience here on an ongoing ownership basis. I have a Caravan but it is now stored at the site we always go to anyway (Devon) so towing will not be an issue. Once that decision was made the next step was easy for me. It is based on personal use of the vehicle and what fits my needs best. So what is perfect for me may not apply to many others. The majority of my trips are local so with the diesel i was focusing on towing a caravan a dozen times a year at the best MPG and getting a half decent return of 35mpg round town. Now with the ev i will have a better £pm locally but potentially costing more on the 12 trips to Devon. (I actually think in practice it will still be cheaper because it may work out possible to only use a rapid charger once per trip for about 20 mins each way.) Camp sites are starting to have ev charging on site at reasonable rates? Still trying to find the exact spec of my car. Today i found out acc is an option in the myskoda shop i can buy for £269. So my car must have it but needs a software update to activate it ? I was able to activate a few "free" options that last to the end of the Skoda warranty period.and couple that last 10 years. I assume they become Subscription later. Looks like they are taking tips from Elon. Watch this space.- the truth about electric cars

Discovered so far Cruise control the car has standard cruise control but all the equipment to run ACC . £269 option to activate in the shop app.- Not just a question for EV drivers, just any members on here. What temperature do you set your cars interior to be at?
I aiming for 65° f and not intending to cry over energy use. No point in having an ev if you can't use it like you did with the ice. It's my aim to improve my life. I always dress for outside air temperature when going to work. i don't want to have to get dressed getting out of the car. I have noticed this Enyaq targets the heat at areas with someone sat in rather than the whole interior. which is clever.- Enyaq iv 60 suite specific spec
Is it possible to get the build spec of my car from the vin. Parkers appears to just give generic info. I want to know if things like heat pump etc were bought as options.- New car owner, please help me understand the difference
Look at it again Front tyre pressures and rear tyre pressures under each picture. Rear pressure goes up - Scandinavian DRL's?
