Regen braking in High mode remained super predictable, and the LFP pack voltage delta stayed under 12 mV on my OBD2 scanner.

Has anyone here compared this behaviour before and after the latest DiLink OTA firmware update? Mine felt noticeably smoother in low-speed traffic afterwards.

I found that plugging in around 15–18% SOC gives the fastest sustained peak kW before the BMS gently tapers above 80%.

Zero rattles in the cabin so far, and the 360-degree camera clarity at night is still the best in its price bracket.

Tested these exact settings on my weekend highway run and cabin NVH + efficiency were spot on.

One detail I noticed after logging another 2,500 km is that the thermal management loop stays completely silent below 32°C ambient unless you chain two fast DC sessions back-to-back.

Shark Grey with the 20-inch twin-spoke wheels and red front 4-pot calipers looks sensational.
