Not sure if I had the sensor update yet on mine, I've only seen it mentioned with higher spec models so far. Mine only has the assist package which has lane assist and parking sensors all around. @Kaloyan does your car have the additional parking assist and 360 view cameras?

I had the V01 engine update and it supposedly fixed charge estimate with 6A but i still think it overestimates 8A charging time (might need to double check as I rarely check the estimate anymore), at least initially, so in case anyone tries the supplied lead don't worry it isn't as bad as might seem initially in the app.

My calculations (based on SoC after charge) with granny lead show following charge rates for this car (230V):

8A = 2,6% per hour
6A = 2% per hour

so ~15% charging loss which I believe is normal due to conversions etc.

Ok, yes 10% sounds about right for AC charging, I believe the granny lead has more loss in general from what I've read.

I think the sensor update might only apply to ones with 360 package, so if you have it that kind of verifies it.

Btw: here is the full contents of V01 update

Improved the management of the air conditioning compressor during fast charges.

• Changes:
• in regenerative braking for the freewheel level;
• in the estimated recharging time on a 6 Amp domestic socket.

No noticeable radar problems so far but I have turned lane assist and auto steer off because they won't work properly in snowy roads anyway. Haven't had huge problems with adaptive cruise so far, but don't know if the radar is heated or just shaped so (under the logo) that it doesn't get blocked very easily.

One thing I noticed earlier with water mist is that the car might slow down a little (or at least it feels like that) if there is heavy mist trail from the car you try to overtake. Also had now twice a brief ghost braking issue when going under a bridge, so something I will investigate further. All in all not too many problems though.

I did get a parking sensor error and service sign this morning when didn't clean them properly (the car was buried in snow). I suppose it will sort itself out when cleaned, I just turned the notification off.

Car warms up quickly so easy to clean the windows and so far no problems with icing of the boot open button (difficult to spot though) or door handles (they just popped through the ice so seems the advertised ice knocking function works).

@4EV-ER Thank you once again very valuable information, I was a bit concerned about the winter, I noticed wheels spin in the rainy, somewhat sluggish weather, have you noticed something similar what drive mode do you use, I made steering medium and turning on sports engine comfort.

I have Evolution ER which has the 130HP engine with 60kW battery and doesn't have multi sense modes. Basically just Comfort and Eco and no steering sensitivity adjust. My experience from test driving the 220HP version (and some acceleration tests I've seen) is that Comfort and Eco perform similarly to 130HP version and Sport mode gives (much) more performance. Also pushing past kick down on pedal always gives full performance that the car can provide regardless of drive mode. So if you want to know how 130HP version feels like, don't push past kick down in comfort mode.

In slippery conditions off the line acceleration will bring wheel spin and FWD without LSD cannot do much so any AWD and RWD car will leave you eating dust (or snow) in winter.

This year there is need for proper winter tires as you can see from following picture (I use Nokia Hakkapeliitta 10):

Yeah I wasn't sure first if I would get the brand I wanted either as we had some supply issues as well. Still wouldn't go wrong with Continental either as it is the second best in winter tyres and have the nordic version in our other car. My car has 215/55R18 so actually wider than the summer Eco Continentals which are just 195. I think it actually looks slightly better with winter tyres because of this.

All in all seems the car handles great and is comfortable even when road conditions can get a bit rough this time of year. So far probably even one of the best FWD car I've driven, but has the same weaknesses as any FWD car, electric engine cannot overcome that. The one great thing about electric though is that even creeping at slow speeds you can keep momentum and have much less traction issues since you have steady torque and you don't risk loosing traction because of a gear change, you notice this especially going uphill where you need every bit of traction you can get in a FWD car.

Nope, none after V01. But will let you know if any new updates arrive.

Today received a new update which is called Parking Assistance V01.

Update log only states fix for error messages related to parking sensors so not much else new I'm afraid.

Personally haven't seen this error though, but installed the update while car was parked (stated 10 minutes install time).

 

[4EV-ER]

They'll have re-write all code again from right to left for UK. Just takes a bit longer.

Seriously though, haven't got Engine V2 but I also have different engine so that might be another factor to consider too. And different regions etc.

Come to think of it, we might see sensor issues more often as our cars are covered in snow this time of the year.

No openR link update here so far. Seems even the French didn't get the parking assistance update though so probably some nordic climate issue.

Got anoter update this week. Again for electric engine, but this time version formatting different. Previous update was upper case lettering and V01, this one in lower case and 0.2.1

Fixes some erroneous electric engine error message I've luckily never had so far.

What was different from previous updates that this one reported before the update was downloaded and the download was carried out in three stages.

Again my engine is the lower power version so might not relate to other cars at all.
