I wholeheartedly agree! I first encountered them in May 2023 when contemplating the purchase of an automobile. I have seen almost all the content on their channel using the auto-translate feature to English, while I patiently await the arrival of the automobile I bought back in June.

Therefore, choosing a setting of 90% would be advantageous, given my usual driving habits. Nevertheless, what is the threshold for the "detrimental" duration of "battery charge retention". As for me, I connect the car to a power source in the morning, upon my arrival at work. Typically, I get a notice on my phone about midday indicating that the battery of my vehicle is charged to 80%. The battery remains at this level until I finish work, which is around 6-7 hours after receiving the information. Therefore, the battery remains charged at 80% for about 6-7 hours every day throughout the work week. Is it a detrimental period? Is it advisable to delay the start of the charging process to a later time throughout the day, so that the charge is completed closer to the time I leave work?

I appreciate your provision of the calculator. Based on the information provided, the estimated battery lifetime would be over 13 years when charged to 80%, compared to over 9 years when charged to 90%. I am curious about the potential consequences of charging my device to varied levels, such as 80% or 90%, as opposed to consistently charging it to a single level, such as 80% alone. Is there any potential harm in doing so?

Greetings, everybody. I just acquired a brand new CX-60 PHEV, which I obtained in mid-November. I have driven it for around 1,000 kilometres so far, and I am really satisfied with the vehicle. I have an inquiry about the optimal daily battery charge level. I have perused several perspectives on the subject, consulted the dealer, and now want to acquire knowledge from the participants of this forum. I comprehend that it is often advised to charge the battery up to 80% if you engage in everyday charging. In my situation, I have the opportunity to recharge my vehicle on a daily basis at my workplace. However, relying on an 80% charge is not always sufficient to complete a round trip between my house and workplace, as well as the subsequent journey the following day. The charging increments may be adjusted to 80%, 90%, and other values, but there is no option specifically for 85%. I would want to inquire about any potential technical or other problems that may arise if I were to adjust the charge limit to 90% instead of the default 80%. This adjustment is likely to be sufficient for my daily commute. Expressing gratitude!

An update for the Body Control Module (BCM) was released in April, but there has been no update for the gearbox since the last one in late Summer or early Fall last year, which was part of a recall update.

According to the nickoyster4 update, I conducted a check on May 1st and found no new information.

A few months back, I successfully placed an order for and subsequently got the OEM all weather mats.

The 12 speakers are designed for optimal performance. The instrument panel has a single 80 mm Twiddler speaker positioned at its centre. Each door mirror patch is equipped with a 25 mm neodymium tweeter. Additionally, there are two 115 mm high-excursion neodymium woofers, each housed in a custom-engineered cowl-side bass enclosure with a volume of four litres. These enclosures are integrated into the body frame. The car is equipped with four 80 mm neodymium mid/high range speakers, with one speaker installed in each door. Additionally, there are two rear 65 mm surround speakers, with one speaker positioned in each C pillar. Furthermore, there is a single 130 mm neodymium woofer housed in a custom-engineered bass enclosure with a volume of 10 litres, located in the spare wheel housing. Which one do you personally feel a sense of longing for?

When an automobile is just 1 or 2 years old, it seems peculiar to replace it, which causes me to be sceptical whenever I encounter them being sold. Having an elusive and undetectable malfunction would provide a compelling justification for relocating the vehicle. (as you are now doing, transferring the responsibility to the subsequent fortunate recipient). As usual, one must use caution while making a purchase.

I have never seen any kind of wrench appearing on the heads-up display (HUD). Is it visible when the vehicle is stationary and can you get a photograph of it?

The light that is now illuminated is the maintenance due soon indicator, which is activated by the maintenance schedule timer in the infotainment system. To clear it, reset the maintenance due timer in the Vehicle Settings.

Nevertheless, I am unable to choose my preference... The CX-30 offers more practicality and I am particularly fond of the blue colour. However, the Mazda 3 is an aesthetically pleasing vehicle. I want for the United Kingdom to have access to the same range of engine options as are available in the United States. I need an automobile equipped with a 2.5 turbo engine.

The Mazda 3 has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and offers a satisfying driving experience. However, the CX-30 surpasses it in terms of accessibility, making it simpler to enter and exit the vehicle. It has almost comparable handling capabilities to the 3 and maintains an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Thank you. In my opinion, the automobile is very compatible and it is more resistant to chipping compared to my previous Soul Red Mazda 3.

Greetings, everyone. Due to the difficulty of getting in and out of my old 4th generation Mazda 3 hatchback, I decided to get a 2023 Deep Blue Crystal e-SkyActiv X CX-30 GT Sport, which is more convenient for me. The colour of my Mazda 3 was Soul Red, however I believe that the Deep Blue colour is more suitable for the CX-30. Observed below while still at the dealership.

I adhered to the directions in an attempt to get the key from BSM, in case it was located there. I refrained from driving until this morning, when it was indeed found in BSM. Extracting the key proved to be a significant challenge, but after persevering, I was ultimately successful. Despite my repeated attempts to push the lock button four times, the corresponding indicator light failed to illuminate. Undeterred, I proceeded to hold down the button, but no response was elicited, save for the perplexed onlookers who were left wondering why my vehicle was emitting several beeps and flashes.

I am willing to attempt it, but what is the likelihood that both of my batteries have completely lost their charge?

Additionally, during the vehicle's servicing, it was brought to my attention that the wifi android auto adapter I had installed may be the source of the problems. There is a hypothesis that any USB device connected to the car might potentially be causing the troubles. Subsequently, I disconnected it, but the problems persisted. Since then, I have hardly used it and I consistently disconnect it when the automobile is not in operation.

Thank you for providing this, however I do not believe that is the underlying problem. If I had inadvertently activated power saving mode due to excessive button pushing, I would have entered and exited it several times. I have only encountered the 'touch key fob to start button' warning on rare occasions, rather than on a regular basis. Furthermore, how can I ascertain if I am in a state of BSM, given that the means of entering and exiting it are identical?

For the last 7 months, I have been encountering persistent issues with the key of my PHEV Preferred vehicle, which have been occurring intermittently over this period. Approximately one month ago, I availed myself of the gratis service provided by the dealership and expressed my concerns regarding these difficulties. Unfortunately, none of the issues were resolved, and it is possible that they have even worsened. (I have a faint recollection of discussing it on this topic, but I am unable to locate my post) The following are the challenges I encounter: On a notable portion of occasions, I approach the driver's door and attempt to open it, but it does not unlock as expected from closeness and contacting the inside of the handle. In such instances, the process may succeed after many attempts, but often necessitates my retrieving the key from my pocket (which may be particularly bothersome if I am carrying items) and pressing the unlock button on the key. Moreover, I often have to push the button numerous times before it functions properly. Occasionally, after successfully unlocking the vehicle using any method, I attempt to activate the engine by pressing the start button, only to get a notification indicating that the key is not recognised. Occasionally, repeatedly pushing the button may ultimately be successful, however there are instances when it may not work. On one occasion, I received a prompt to place the key fob against the start button, so I even use that method without receiving the prompt, and eventually, it proves effective. I have activated the walk-away locking feature, however its functionality is inconsistent and unreliable. When the system functions properly, I perceive a solitary auditory signal upon exiting the vehicle, followed by an automatic locking mechanism activation after about 30 seconds. However, on several occasions, I do not perceive the first auditory signal, and sometimes, I do hear the initial signal but the locking mechanism fails to engage. In such instances, I am once again required to extract my key from my pocket and activate the locking mechanism. However, it is worth noting that the locking mechanism seldom functions well on the first attempt. Typically, I find myself having to push it between 5 to 8 times before it engages. On a recent occasion, it took around 15 attempts until the vehicle was successfully secured. There have been instances when my vehicle unexpectedly displayed the message 'key not recognised' and emitted a continuous chime while it was running. Despite finding this noise irritating, I chose to ignore it and continued driving. Fortunately, the issue resolved itself after around 20-30 seconds. I have attempted to use both of my keys, and I have had the same problems with both. Although I have not attempted to replace the batteries in the keys, I do not believe that is the cause of the troubles, particularly considering the recent service I had, during which I expect they would have checked for that. (I informed them about all of these problems, and they instructed me to bring in both keys for reprogramming). Are there any other individuals encountering this problem in any manner?

I concur, mostly. MHEV has undergone relatively minimal modifications, but PHEV has not fared as well. Only time will reveal the truth.

Considering all the issues you described, they may all be resolved within a day if the dealerships had skilled service personnel and, in some instances, the necessary components. I believe that Mazda is improving and becoming more efficient in these repairs, without being too optimistic. I own a Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) and it has never been left overnight at the dealership. There have been a couple improvements and the ride has been consistently reliable for 9000 miles. Avoid the PHEV (my dealer concurs).

Severe weather conditions will impact the battery's lifespan. The capacity of a battery to store charge is influenced by cold weather due to chemical reactions, rather than being a problem of the battery itself. Connecting the vehicle to an external electrical outlet should have no impact, unless you are using an extension cord between the outlet and your charging cable. If you need to do that task, I recommend accessing the internet and purchasing an extended power cord for your automobile.

The shutters are unrelated to N/A or turbo. When the vents are closed, they prevent air from flowing past the front of the car, resulting in increased drag and reduced fuel efficiency. Dynamic front grilles Active front grilles are widely used active aerodynamic features that are regularly seen on popular automobiles. The dynamic front grille adjusts to accommodate the cooling requirements of the engine, electric motor, or battery located behind it. The system often comprises motorised fins or vanes that have the ability to either open or shut. At lower velocities, the engine or electric components experience less strain and need little cooling. Consequently, the active grille is in a closed position, which enhances aerodynamics by reducing surface area. At elevated velocities or in conditions where the components experience increased stress, the fins or vanes expand to guarantee the appropriate airflow for adequate cooling.
