Here's my morning so far;
Car has been sat idle on drive since last Friday am, so one whole week, outside in cold.
Started at 80% charge. -2 degrees C
Warmed the car up for 7/8 minutes, disconnected from charger, so just on the battery.** - will come back to this later.
Drove to Tesco. Went shopping. Bought a Costa coffee.
Charged up at 11kW from 70% to 85% while shopping and drinking coffee. For free.
Drove home.
Arrived home with 81%.
0 degrees C
Heating at 18C (had a big coat on), seats and steering wheel on first setting all journeys.
Issues:
1. Front assist warning for first 45 seconds or so, then cleared - probably an icy sensor somewhere.
2. ** App didn't want to know for remote heating turn on - was OK until a day or so ago, then reverted to the "simpler view" of heating controls - suspect the car gos into some sort of sleep / hibernation, as as soon as I turned car on to warm it up, app was back to normal.
That's it.
Things that worked perfectly; ACC, speed limit recognition, wireless CarPlay, Id.light (at true junctions), satnav...everything basically.
Going out only managed 2.3 mi/kWh, but that's not really surprising as it spent 7/8 minutes "idling" defrosting at the start. Did notice that at first set of traffic lights, consumption was 7.2 kW, so suspect still a lot of battery heating going on.
Return journey - 3.1mi/kWh - so much better after charging.
This is for 9 miles at average of something like 35mph, mixed roads, mixed traffic, typical town-based commuting. Absolutely no babying or eco driving - just drove it as a car.
This post is by no means intended to diminish or deny the experiences of other who have issues, merely to highlight that there's something solid underneath the problems.

oh, and ignore the german flag in avatar - I forgot to disconnect my VPN before posting - this is definitely UK - Milton Keynes.
