Awesome. Thank you very much for sharing that.

Thank you both for the info. I ordered one from Ebay last night for £10.99 + £5 shipping. Should have tried the dealer first but I was being impatient and pessimistic. Fingers crossed I don't break the glass.

Would appreciate any advice on removing the door mirror trim please?

All this technical talk seems a little irrelevant. Norway is a cold country and the electric vehicle market share there suggests their weather is not an issue. If you're not ready to switch to an EV, that's fine, but please try not to pretend the reason is because you cannot manage without 400 miles of range on a single charge.

Didn't mean to suggest Tesla was the solution but where they lead others are trying to follow. Although I did hear that once land owners figured out the EV charging site applications were for billionaire Elon Musk the rollout slowed dramatically. Wish we could get that interest free loan in England as currently EVs are still super expensive compared to the ICE cars I've owned over the year. If we can.. it would be nice to keep this thread positive about Skoda and their EV future, rather than debating the barriers to EV adoption.

@Roottootemoot I agree the infrastructure does still need to improve but I don't believe it's as immediately inadequate as EV skeptics try to suggest. A number of networks are already offering 150kW chargers. Tesla has even started rolling out their v3 which will add 75 miles in just 5 minutes. I suspect Seat and Skoda might be held back by VW who want their models to come to market first (especially after #dieselgate). @KenONeill When you say "typical", do you have the misfortune to drive multiple 150 mile legs daily? And are you really still using Windows XP or just haven't got round to updating your forum signature? 😉

@Roottootemoot I really like the look of the Seat, more than the VW. Fingers crossed Skoda offer us something great.

The newer chargers are already able to add a significant amount of range in just 10 minutes and you do not need to completely fill your battery, which would take a lot longer, just enough to your next stop.

@ettlz You will be waiting a long time for that spec. How often do you drive a 400 mile trip, without stopping for a comfort break?

So I am presuming there will be a Skoda hatchback based on the VW ID platform and with VW and Seat not opting to use existing model names, do you think there will be a Fabia EV or will it have a new name?

Still driving my 2011.

@Ash7. Dragging playlists from iTunes on to the SD Card on my Mac. l​ was using iTunesMyWalkman which was suggested in an old thread. I'm using a USB stick plugged into the MDI socket via the adapter cable. The mp3s play fine it just doesn't see the playlists. I don't want to play/shuffle by artist/album.

I'd like to suggest a flaw in your always on "be safe, be seen" approach. If you're dazzling someone aren't you less safe if they can't see your brake lights or the curb/road markings. It's particularly annoying in the rain, there are enough lights being diffracted by the rain drops as it is. "You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves." Seriously Reduced Visibility is less than 100 metres. I suspect most drivers have no idea what 100 metres is though. I've only seen visibility reduced that low in the UK once in the twenty-ish years I've been driving.

Which version of iTunes are you running please? ​I couldn't get the drag and drop method to work in v.12
