An honest review after 6 weeks of ownership...

* Auto regenerate keeps turning off: This is a bit annoying but got into my "cockpit pre flight check routine"

Lift and coast is the most efficient way to drive, so it is the default.

The regen on lift off settings are there for driver preferenc, being either a bit like lift off in a IC engined car or in between but IMO it is worth getting used to the default setting since it is technically superior even if it isn't what we are used to.

Makes sense but it is no where compared to regen in our IX3 so it's a bit of a strange thing that you always have to turn it on although you clearly set it in the driving profiles. It never retains the setting...

I never use the regency and get plenty of mpkw....I coast then use brakes around tight turns lol

* The complexity of the charging profiles: I just can't get my head around how complex the charging profiles and timers has been made. Every time I've tried it it always charged in full or did not charge. I know there are some neat guidelines on the forum but I just gave up on them.

Yep - I'm 2 weeks in to owning a CT4S and sometimes I get full charge at home, and sometimes nothing. I have no idea what is going on! I've now set a profile for home and timers so will see if that resolves the issue but it does seem unnecessarily complex. It also seems my PodPoint home charger doesn't work well with the Porsche but my wife has another EV and we need something we can share (albeit preferably one that works when I want it to!).

Good taste on the color by the way

any impact on your order with the 12v battery shortage?

It seems that my car has its battery.
But still no Bose amps...
New date is 30 November...

damn. My config also has Bose. This will probably mean my delivery will also be pushed back.
