Known issues

• Infotainment system freezes and requires hard resets; software updates occasionally fail to install properly
• 12V auxiliary battery discharge issues, particularly in cold weather, leaving vehicle immobilised despite main battery charge
• Inconsistent charging speeds; some units fail to negotiate proper handshake with public chargers (CCS)
• Door handle mechanisms stick or fail to respond in damp conditions; interior trim rattles develop early
• Battery management system (BMS) communication errors triggering limp-mode; range anxiety exacerbated by conservative SOC management
• Water ingress around window seals and tail light assemblies, causing interior electrical faults
