EV general discussion

Interested to hear your thoughts etc on your Pulse, still un sure on the pulse/summit or the premium. I like the vented seats, matrix lights etc on the premium but I also like having AWD, the near 580hp does sound a bit mad for a standard SUV though lol.
So after having the car for a little while I thought I'd feedback on how it is going. To sum up, I love it. It is really really good.

I love the comfort. I love the fit and finish (no squeaks and no rattles) and the materials feel nice, its also roomy and bright inside and so quiet. Went up the coast today so managed to get some Spotify on the go and turned up the volume and the speakers are powerful. I like the surround mode. The car drives lovely (even in Eco), steering is responsive, and absorbs the bumps well (not crashy at all). Brakes are responsive and not spongy. Still has the annoying "bing bongs" for speed. 1MPH over and it starts going mad. Annoying that it resets like most new cars and doesn't remain off permanently. Charged it up a little last night as well to test that out, and had no dramas with the dynamic / intelligent charging schedule, unlike the Honda mentioned earlier. Starting to get used to where things are now as well which is half the battle. Also briefly tried Sports mode today. Haha now I remember why I went with this model. It is rapid. :cry:

What other silly things do I like... erm, oh the puddle lights. Didn't realise it had them. When you approach the car and the lights come on, that is nice touch. I like the quirky indicator sound and the car/door lock sound. They are fun. The fact the rear seats have adjustment controls is great, and the fact the rear passenger can alter the front passenger seat (if unoccupied) is very useful. Both door mirrors also dip when reversing is useful. If driving under a certain speed and indicating (i.e. cornering) the camera shows either a top down or side cam on the screen (useful for judging curbs). There's probably more but I can't remember. :p

Sounds good, what version of sw is it on? I heard v2.2.0 has been released and that makes turning off the bongs easier (some how). Have you got any pics inside/out as I've not seen anything of the pulse.

Ohh it just did a SW update today. :) I scheduled it for 2AM. A pleasant man spoke to me through the speakers and said it had downloaded and was scheduled for 2AM. I was like "thanks very much mate". :cry: I posted some pics here:
:)
 
Oooh release notes for car updates. That's nice to see!

Active Speed Limit Warning in Drive Setup​

Active Speed Limit Warning can now be set in Drive Setup, letting you choose visual alerts, audio and visual, or turn the function off.

That's better. No diving into Car Settings > Driver Assistance (or whatever it is) and then choosing the sub-menu and scrolling down!! I think Drive Setup can be instantly accessed via the touch button on the far right of the display. I'll check it tomorrow!
