Hi, so I know you can put the car in camp mode and the car will keep you warm, but what sort of kWh is used?
Obviously a 100 different variables, but have a late night coming up at work and an early morning. Not worth the two hour drive to home and back again.
Annoyed with the new app, every couple of days it logs me out, and then I have to log in again, which is annoying as it resets the name of the car, and my shortcuts.
I've gone back to the old app.
Seems like their beta testing team for all things software are rather lacking, DAB radio, App...
Love the car though.
Hi everyone,
I've been given an original printer and can print from my laptop but no matter if it's an 8gb or 16gb or 32gb stick formatted as fat32 when I tap the file button on the UI (it's blue so is picking up the USB) it just flashes and goes back to blue.
I've renamed the file test.gcode as I saw that there was an issue with filename length.
I've used the same gcode file through my laptop.
Any thing I've missed?
I've had the car for less than a week in Perth, where the weather has been rather damp. Just thought I would share some insights I've had, and also some questions for those playing along at home.
I have the inspire my27, for the biggest trip there were 3 adults in the car, in the rain, driving 130km each direction and averaged 80km per hours. My dynamic range says 400km, which to be honest was a lot better than I was expecting, I was planning for a stop on the way home, but I got home with well over 100km range left. This includes uphill sections (Greenmount for those in the know).
The heater is good at keeping a constant heat, but doesn't feel like it gets really hot. Which most of the time is just the best, but sometimes I want that scorched earth setting. Understand this is a limitation with electric - it's my first.
ICC (Cruise control) is pointless on the open road. The amount of times it would tell me the speed had changed to 80, or even at one point 60, I couldn't use the autoslow down, and around some of the corners on the great eastern that you can easily take over the speed limit - it tried to slow to 90km. I do like the lane assist. Though especially when cars with lights that outshine the sun go past when cornering.
ICC on a busy roe highway, or going down or up the greenmount is life changing in all the good ways. So I now tend to only use it on roads that are 80km or under.
I drive 90km in each direction for work, averaging 80ish km, and at the end of the day, I'm getting home with a smidge over 200km left, and that's using AC, comfort driving, low regen, and the odd massage.
I've turned off most of the bings and bongs, that setting the button to do that - is a godsend. Best thing ever. The fatigue setting was just too sensitive. I check my mirrors, bong. So she's gone.
Hi Geely, even though it's turned on, doesn't work half the time for me, she doesn't want to activate, so it gets a touch annoying when I want to do certain things, and have to try and use the touch screen.
Driving is just amazing. I know people knock the front wheel drive, and also the floaty nature, but for me, I'm use to that, and so for me, makes an incredibly comfortable drive.
The car goes to sleep, deep sleep. If the car isn't plugged into the charger, or within a short period I can't control it. Not an issue now, but would like to be able to cool the car in summer remotely. I won't be able to do this without setting a schedule. Which brings me to my next point - the schedule. Having only one sucks, I would prefer to be able to set up multiple, as I leave at different times both to work, and home again depending on the day. Minor thing.
No holder for the charger caps. How?? You have to leave them dangling and I just think they missed something that would make it a little tidier, and just that little bit of thought.
Radio - I seldom use radio, but everytime I start it - firmware update, fail. Doesn't matter whether it's 4G, hot spot, wifi, fails straight away. At least have an option do not ask again for this version. Minor thing.
The lack of customisation of the touch screen is insane. To me this has to be my biggest issue - which is great considering it's minor. Android Auto, it asks me to connect everytime. The camera won't sit on top of google maps (I'm going to try normal maps tonight), just little things.
I paired it with an evnex flex 2 charger for home, and I love the combo. I'm really happy with my purchase. The car goes further on a charge than I expected (using dynamic so to my driving), has the nice little things for my aging ass, and things that I think are easy fixes (being more software than physical).
Happy to answer any questions on it, if you're looking at getting. Mine took 7 weeks to get here.
Hi all, for those in Perth. I'm picking up my Geely next week, and just wondering what I should expect.
I'm going to Gardner motors in Cannington.
Do you sign the paperwork, they chuck you the fob and tell you to get out?
Hi brains trust.
Anyone have an idea what sort of wait time these have in Perth?
Don't trust the dealers estimate and thought I would ask here.
I was quoted 6 to 9weeks.
