Could we get Celsius back?

There had to be one Brits in America.

Sorry.

I think it's still there. If you change settings->control->parameters->#2 to K (for kilometers) it does show Celcius

And K's for range no?

Welcome to the British - Old school for how far to the pub and how much beer we'll drink but Napoleon for temperature.

Yeah. It does switch both though. Maybe that's something they can add in the next version (select temp and range units separately).

Not a big issue, but I have to admit I'm in the same boat. You'd be surprised how fast I can do the "subtract 32, divide by 9, multiply by 5" calculation in my head now.

You'll have that problem on this site of the Pond too.

Model S was made for Brits!

This is in the Model S software; miles/km's and C/F can be selected independently:

If you set a timer-delayed (rather than on-plugin) charge in the car, the new iOS App will show it as "Timed Charge" and animate the charging port correctly for that status.

In such a case, you can start the charge immediately (override the timer delay) by sliding the charge switch to the right.

P.S. In a future version, we also plan to allow you to switch between on-plugin and timer charge, and set the charge time. But, that requires changes to the firmware in the car module.

I tried setting charge time for midnight on the VDS and later started charging using the OVMS to start charging immediately and it worked fine, but sometime later (after charging would have completed) when I opened the OVMS app I noticed that the charge cable connector didn't show up. No one had touched the car/cable in between. I verified on the VDS that charging had completed fine and that the car still was setup for charging at midnight. Is this the expected behavior? I haven't tried testing it again to see if it is repeatable. I don't expect to use this functionality much/any, but I figured it was worth asking about since others may.
