Yes, also have sent you a DM a little while ago
Sorry all false alarm. Itâs the exact config I was watching but not leasable, which is why it came in 10k cheaper than the leasable one. Still not bad for cash at 6500mi odo. Has dapp, sport, radiant, air, vented massage, soft close, sensatec.
Trust me, you only want to lease these things.

Hi all, something interesting happened when I was charging my iX a few minutes ago to: I realized it took more than ten minutes and 11kWh at 99% and it didnât reach 100%. I rarely exceed 85% and only charged to 100% once before for a road trip. Mileage is 8700 and I got it last December (thanks to @IAC_Scott).
I stopped charging before seeing 100% and on my way to home it dropped 1% for a 3-mile trip (which is expected). What do you think happened to the 11kWh for the last ~1%, do you think itâs a battery defect or a software issue(bug or on purpose)?

Battery balancing at the top of the pack.
Itâs a thing when you donât charge to full from time to time.

This is 100% normal. Think of charging a battery like filling a glass of water from a faucet without spilling anything. When the glass is not near full you can really open the spigot and blast the water out. But as the water reaches the brim, you have to really, really slow down and be careful not to splash anything or cause drips!
In this case, it would be quite hazardous to overfill, so the EV charging systems need to be extremely careful and double-check all the cells in your battery to make 1000% sure none of them can be overfilled. Apparently, thereâs quite of a lot of juggling of electrons required to charge to 100%, and itâs especially difficult to do at high amperage!

Preaching to the choir here but damn the hype is real on these things. Easily my favourite car Iâve had. Shame I canât send pics of the front end to anyone, but awesome car otherwise. Drives itself, parks itself, and an absolute rocket when I want it

And if you drive in low regen the B mode acts as a really great speed brake â Really great for off-ramps that arenât snowy.

Havenât even tried B mode yet, my first EV so been enjoying how ânormalâ the car feels (until you yam on the gas). Efficiency has been awesome but I wonder if itâll be even better in B

It isnât. Outside of the use case I provided it mostly just forces one pedal driving which while generally useful isnât always the most efficient.

B mode + Autohold⌠after a while youâll wonder why every car doesnât drive like that.
