Docked !!! confirmed

 

[Boudicca99]

no doubt, someone in a sheepskin jacket and flat cap will be going in with cash to buy a dozen and flipping them at the dealer gates. Get yer Meganes ere. 60k a pop, It happens!!

LE still at the import centre....but no date for delivery to the dealership... getting post christmas by the sounds of things.

 

[Boudicca99]

Renault just contacted me in a surprising way....alas that means the Car is confirmed at the Import Centre, however it is lacking an Alarm....so deliveries will now go ahead without an alarm, according to the letter, tbd and fitted after delivery. It makes clear that the car has an immobilser but its electric of course it has an immobilser...not going to wheeling it down the road are they. Ho hum.. nice suprise included but would prefer a nice cash discount...

My dealer chap left the company.
Not sure if his replacement has sold an EV before as he was surprised when I asked if they had already charged it.
Seems they have not so I might not be picking it up afterall.

Same Gaz ....same bloke...Im now stuck waiting until after Christmas... no date no car... best of luck for getting yours....edit see you got it.... congrats.

Thanks, i'll have to paint over the light then if it doesn't go out if I don't have a passenger.

One thing which is odd or I'm going mad(er) is that I understood the car had a 5 year warranty.
Everything I look at in the paperwork and the app shows 3 years.

Is that an error from Renault, I wouldn’t have bought it if 3 years was all they gave and I'm already considering rejecting the car and buying a cheap ICE.

Thanks

Gaz

does it stop if the seat belt is clipped in ?

Is your dealer the Nottingham Bristol Street then?
They said mine was the first they have released to a customer so all the messing up went to me.

Gaz

Aye!

finally getting the key Saturday

 

[Boudicca99]

Got it...at home and on charge.

First impressions.

• Comfy seat
• Scrolling Display Hmmmm will cope...I hope there is a upgrade option on that in the future maybe.
• App connected and all good there. No obvious issues.
• Flip LCD Mirror, clear not sure its going to get used a lot.

Not tried anything clever yet. Might take it out tomorrow or day after for bit of drive when its dry

 

[Boudicca99]

quick pic....of it

 

[Boudicca99]

Same as mine. Number plate should be higher apparently.

anything missing?

Alarm, Mats. Not sure about other things...Alarm/Mats on order.
Will do a bit more look see tomorrow.... when/if the light is better and not raining...dank day....so bit hard to see it all being ermmm black.

 

[Boudicca99]

Scrolling display?

Mirror I'm not sure of yet, I think it will take a bit of getting used to.

because the screen is smaller...menu items are off screen...so swipe up etc is needed to see whats below....bit crap tbh. hopefully being android...I hope reordering/repositioning is possible. .........havent tried that yet.... inside out of the wet

hope we can side load also. Never know what u can do if adb can be used...1st day...lets see...

Megane works with Home Assistant :0)

Okay not driven yet but spent the last hour in the infotainment.....and interior

• Sound superb -- Harman Kardon...excellent
• Seat adjustment all manual bar Lumber support (electric)...
• Apple Carplay over BT perfect and Local Android setup ....all relatively easy....Wifi same... all the Android bits do ....
• Android Developer mode is disabled unless u email Development at Renault
• Android 10 Q (2019)... so a good bit behind.
• app store, limited but some apps...Spofiy/Amazon Music/Plug Share but Video limited etc.
• You can turn off the auto Keyfob entry....so secure...
• Heated Steering and Seats all good. (Seat pressure sensors turn it off if empty etc...)
• Screen is really too small the "Scrolling" ...Swipe up for Music....will take ages to get down a list as the area available for swipe is even smaller due to the top bar and bottoms heater ac controls
• Massive gap between the arm rest and the storage tray/tunnel below....Would have been useful for a cover on top of that... so I can put a cleaning cloth tissues etc.and the keyfob...

That is interesting. I would have thought my dealer would be keen to sort things out in that case, since the car was registered on 3rd December (and I still don't have the car, nor a firm date).
I had to laugh, I got an email from the dealer today (automated type thing) saying welcome to your car, thanks for buying from us, blah blah... Sheesh.

only got that email after taking delivery...
