I had a 24hr extended test drive the other day. See p17 of the I-Pace Test Drives thread. It left me with a few questions (which theoretically my dealer should be able to answer, but I think owners who have lived with the car for a few weeks have better product knowledge than dealers!). So, if anyone is able to answer the following, I'd be grateful:
(1) Is there a display screen that shows charge rate in kW (or mph)? I could only find a display of range, %SoC, and time remaining.
(2) What charge rate do you actually get on a nominally 50kW Rapid Charger? I calculated that I only got 34kW (at 50% SoC). I'm hoping this was a duff chargepoint rather than the norm.
(3) What is the best way to release a charge cable? Is pressing "unlock" on the key fob the only way?
(4) Can you set the access height (with air, obviously) to be raised? I guess JLR are used to the idea of lowering something like a Discovery to aid access; but with an I-Pace, especially alongside a kerb, I'd find it easier if raised. (Or am I just showing my age?)
(5) Do the Matrix LED headlights steer to shine round a corner (eg entering a drive)?
(6) SatNav(1): is there a graphical indication of traffic? I could only find a text screen.
(7) SatNav(2): Can you set a default to suppress voice instructions, or do you have to do it every time?
(8) SatNav(3): in 2-D N-up, is there an option to offset the view (ie to see less of the road behind you, more in front)?
Thanks in advance
