    The cup holder with the arrow on it sinks lower to allow the use of bigger bottles. The button raises it again.

    I set the brightness of both screens to 60 and have never needed to brighten them, only dim them.

    Everything from night to full sun.

    well F*** me🤣. I’d 100% never have found its function. Any insights RIS on my screen brightness query? Just plugged her in a few mins ago to test the home charger for the first time. The small screen turns on to show charging activity and it’s FAR brighter- a level I would have expected from full brightness when not charging🤔

    None I'm afraid. You got the lights on full time and causing the screen to dim?

    There's three modes on the pull down menu, auto, light and dark afair.

    Mines on auto.

    Also check your lights are set to Auto, changing to other settings on the light results in the screen going darker. also was checking the brochure and that says that the V2L Cable comes with both AWD and RWD?

    The missus uses dark mode all the time on her Ioniq 5, she says easier to read in bright sun light.

    Light mode on phones, IDE, terminals, laptops and cars.

    I'll be in the dark long enough when I'm dead.

    Back on topic. The inner child in me picked up some puddle light replacements. Can't get the existing feckers out though. They're buried in there.

    Also got the karaoke mic. That update better drop soon so I can add a new danger to the road. Aural trauma.

    No there's a cable or dashcam. Dash was always nearer 100.

    Not if you can't turn it off, I hated it in the BMW i3, no levels just all or nothing. With one pedal driving you foot is always on the throttle, that's irritating to me, i found it fatiguing on the foot, however I do use it in the ID3 for town, that's about all.

    In any modern automatic or manual car your foot is always on the accelerator unless you're in cruise control. Which is exactly the same for EVs. One pedal driving or not.

    I have the very same problem, have the puddle lights but can't get the standard ones out, they are only clipped in so shouldn't be a major problem will try again this week. While I am on how many filled out the questainaire received on the App.

    I have a trim removal kit and it wouldn't even begin to budge. So I used a small screwdriver with fabric to protect the surrounding trim. No dice

    Then I tried two screwdrivers. Still no dice. I have a feeling something is going to crack. I might be tempted but my feeling is to leave well alone at this stage.

    No sign of a survey in the app here.

    I find it much more relaxing in the id3 in D not having to constantly be on the throttle to adjust speed, if I'm going down a hill I can lift my foot off and chill or on other roads I can coast sometimes for a substantial distance depending on conditions and not have to keep my foot on the throttle for ideal speeds.

    Coming off a motorway off ramp I can completely lift off the throttle ( or knock off the cruise/travel assist) without having my foot on anything until I need to brake.

    So to say your foot is always on the accelerator is nonsense. It might "have to be" in some cars especially on cars like the BMW i3 where you can't turn it off, as I said, I usually use it in town only but thankfully I have the choice to turn off one pedal driving as it irritates the hell out of me being forced to use something I hate most of the time.

    as I said, it’s there as a STANDARD/HIGH setting as it is. Standard is nothing in fairness. High, you can definitely feel. A rejig to the Options list to display:

    OFF

    MED(equal to the current HIGH setting)

    HIGH(similar to the Tesla)

    That would cater for all preferences.

    You just don't know how to drive properly, that's all, a lot of us who came from the hybrid world learned how to squeeze out as much efficiency as we could and discovered that coasting can greatly improve your efficiency. Known as pulse and glide in the Prius world at the time but it did have one pedal driving, there was a certain throttle position that allowed coasting but don't need this thankfully in a car that coasts when you lift off the throttle, you heard of kinetic energy ?

    One pedal driving was invented exactly for people like you who don't know how to drive efficiently. Regen isn't as efficient as coasting, regen is good when you actually need to brake, coasting using no energy allows you to continue on energy you already used, regen isn't nearly as efficient as that.

    The engineers of the ID3 were clever enough not to enforce one pedal driving because they know it's more efficient when you coast and regen brake then only when you must.

    To be honest, no amount of regen is as efficient as coasting on energy you already used. And I hate the car dragging feeling when I know I should be able to coast faster or way further using no energy, no matter the level of regen as I said though, good to have options.

    I read that the ID3 has a coast and regen mode selected using the gear selector, in practice would a skilled driver be switching between modes while driving. How does this system compare to Kia/Hyundai paddle system?

    Be interested to get a bit more of your take on this. I was looking at moving from a high end e220d to a M3HL. The M3 has all the features and functions of the MB except for gesture control opening for the boot. The cost to change is fantastic as far as I can see

    The M3 interior is on a par with the e class and and I've had issues with the mb that I shouldn't have seen based on low milage.

    Are you more referring to the mechanism bits and bobs being more high end on BMW etc ?
