3 km – 24.06.2019

Taking ownership of the car.



I have received the car with 3 km on the odometer, last 1.5km of them were made by the dealer (probably during the preparation and pre-delivery period).


“The car does not have an active liquid cooling system for the battery.”

Procedure


A check list for this is presented in the revision manual. An intriguing thing is that in this procedure there is no reference for a full discharge of the battery, but the dealer technical personal, insists that a full discharged has been done on purpose. After this full discharge it has been put on L2 charging. I took delivery of the car with very high battery temperature (35C) and this procedure I think is to blame. This was the only time when I have seen the fan at 90% speed. Remember this car does not have an active liquid cooling system for the battery; it relies only on air for cooling of battery.


Voiding the warranty


I DO NOT recommend Tiriac Auto. I was #threatened by one of the head Tiriac Auto technicians and forbidden to connect to the OBDII port of the car, even after taking delivery of the car or voiding the full vehicle warranty.
