Picked it yesterday, Murphy's Law the sales guy missed getting it on to the (only!) charger they have that morning so it was at about 200 km. Not the end of the world, I do very little mileage. In better news, it did come with a granny! Ordered a multi-mode Wall Pod from the UK (as I also wanted a 3-pin socket out the front for maintenance/Xmas lights etc) - https://evonestop.co.uk/collections/home-charging-range/products/wallpod-ev-multi-mode-type-2-tethered-cable-5m?variant=40494204932
Also ordered the two safety options, not really sure I needed those tbh (the DC monitoring thing and the earth module).
Had a bit of a run around today, I love it! Such a lovely drive, so smooth. The smart cruise control is gas, you can basically drive in stop/start traffic by just clicking the button to restart, no need to accelerate or brake. The screen is amazing, Android Auto set up no problem. One thing that is bugging me is that the built in nav doesn't seem to have the Irish address database - it doesn't have any detailed addresses at all (though it knew, say, Marino). It also doesn't seem to take a start nav address via voice. Nor does it seem to have live traffic for Ireland (though I'm not sure it can even access the internet via a connected phone, it seems to only offer a wifi connection). All of that wouldn't normally bother me as I've never seen a built in nav that can better Android Auto but the one thing you miss out on using AA (or CarPlay) is getting the next directions in the HUD, which is pretty cool
Have it on the granny at the moment, I was down to about 160 when I plugged it in earlier and it was saying approx 24hrs to full, which is fair enough.
How long did the grant approval take? I’m waiting more than two weeks now for mine...0 -

Car signed for and collected today.
Lovely thing to drive.
The self driving bit is freaky at first but excellent when you get to know it. Caught me out at the first slip it tried to take on the motorway.
Is there an easy way to disable LKAS when in B roads?
And how do I get it to remember to turn on with level 3 regen not level 1?

Excellent car!! Same colour as mine
To select your preferred recuperation level on any of the modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) you need to go to Settings (scroll the main screen all the way to the right) and in Vehicle you’d find all these. You could also select Eco or Normal function for you climate control in those driving modes...
Bear in mind with Level 2 recuperation the brake lights come on almost instantly.
You can disable the LKAS from the top centre button on the dash behind the right hand side of the steering wheel, just above the blind spot assistant button...0 -
