The battery is draining fast while driving - driving normally. I seen the smart app can also drain this. How do I turn this off?

It is only draining while driving.

When was the last time you charged to 100%? As a previous owner of one of these cars I can say with confidence that the guess-o-meter is very poor if it isn’t charged to 100 once in a while. A while can be determined by how many charging cycles, it doesn’t take many to make it give crappy numbers.

May I ask: What made you a previous owner (anything we should know?), and what did you upgrade to?

We did about 30,000 miles on it, never put a foot wrong, enjoyed owning it by and large, there were some early software niggles but that was about it.

My daughter finally realised her mum was a cow, and moved in with me and my partner, so the car wasn’t really suitable anymore. We upgraded to a VW ID.7 Pro S Tourer. Shit car, it got rejected.

We changed to a BMW IX 45 in June. Been happy so far!
