Hi people,
Just posting this one out of curiosity, in case others see the same thing...
The other morning I hopped into the car to see that it had no charge. Disaster for an EV owner, but no drama for us.
Figuring that I probably hadn't plugged it in properly, I double checked the timer menus to make sure that the timer was set for that morning (it was).
Since I was already in the menus, I checked the pre-heating and pre-cooling options, which I never use.
Lo and behold! There was a pre-heat setting turned on for Thursday mornings at 9.30 am.
I have no idea how long this has been turned on, nor who set it.
Worst case, this was done at the dealer TWO YEARS AGO and has been wasting charge on Thursday mornings ever since. (Please note, no one other than myself and the dealer has any access to my car). I'm particularly peeved, because the car had been set to pre-heat every day when I first bought it, and it took me months to realise, and turn off all the timer settings.
So I recommend that others periodically check their timer settings just in case this has happened (or been done) to them.
PS. I still think I probably didn't have the car plugged in properly, it is charging normally (twice since then) and the lack of charge was on a Wednesday morning not a Thursday. Now I check the status lights when I plug it in, to make sure.
