Shiny new rim is shiny. Also winter tyres are gone, summers back on. Makes quite a difference in noise, and dat feel!

Otherwise not much new to report
 
Not much new to report, with temperatures going up the range has increased drastically, giving me around 18 kwh/100 kms over 350 kms (mainly highway) with 4 people, 2 dogs, a metric buttload of luggage and 2 bikes on the towbar. So thats noice.

Also more BMS weirdness, I set it to stop charging at 90%, which it did, but the next day when I started it I had an extra 3% all of a sudden? I understand that better temperatures gives me more range with that same 90% but I can’t win kwh doing nothing?

Only just noticed this after 72k kms(or maybe I had forgotten,but still)

+ means more speed
- means less speed

Silly yet true
 
I guess they saw what VW was doing with the ⏸️ and ▶️ on the ID but couldn’t do a knockoff.

Or maybe Kia was first?

... and I am very certain that some product design working group spent countless hours on coming up with that completely irrelevant bullshit and celebrated themselves for it no end :|
 
Maybe. Having it take me 2 years and 70k kms to notice must mean they didn’t do a good job, I guess?

I did know the VWs had this but not my own car? To be honest it is a lot more noticable in the VWs
