State of health lower than expected on early high-mileage cars
Inspect · Run a battery health report rather than trusting the range readout
Rapid charging rate tapering early or sessions failing
Inspect · Attempt a rapid charge and monitor the sustained kW
Infotainment and ProPILOT software faults, failed updates
Inspect · Check the software version and that recalls have been applied
Heavy kerb weight causing early tyre and bush wear
Inspect · Check inner tyre edges and listen for front-end knocks
Parasitic drain from telematics modules causes the 12V battery to discharge, preventing the high-voltage system from booting.
Inspect · Check the 12V battery terminals for jump-start scoring and test resting voltage with a multimeter. A reading below 12.2V suggests a degraded battery.
Rear disc corrosion from light friction-brake use
Inspect · Inspect rear discs for scaling
Motorised charge port door mechanism sticks, fails to open, or refuses to latch shut due to actuator failure or water ingress.
Inspect · Cycle the charge port door multiple times using both the key fob and the interior release button, ensuring it opens smoothly and clicks securely shut.
Motorised sliding centre console jams, judders, or fails to operate.
Inspect · Press the console adjustment buttons located on the side of the unit to verify smooth forward and backward travel without grinding noises.
