Charging my R7 after working the early shift today. The electricity price at 2pm is cheaper than peak hours later in the day. Since charging an electric car takes some time, it’s important to find something fun to do while waiting. Watching two episodes of a TV series is a perfect way to pass the time. Don’t wait outside the car during charging, or you might catch a cold in this chilly weather. The charging speed is quite good, 400V-118.5A. Charging is slower at the beginning, reaches its peak in the middle, and then slows down again at around 90%, so I suggest charging between 20% and 90%. You can stay in the car while it’s charging. Engineers have already researched this issue, and all electrical devices can be used. After plugging in the charger, I immediately retreat to the car to continue watching my show. If there are two people, it’s better to watch the video on the central screen, which is 15 inches big and much larger than an iPad. Using multiple speakers creates a three-dimensional surround sound effect, just like a private cinema. If you’re alone, I suggest sitting in the front passenger seat to watch the video without having to tilt your head.The secondary screen also has a size of 12.3 inches, so you can lie down on the front passenger seat and watch a movie like Ge You. The Queen’s seat can be automatically folded down with one click from the drop-down menu, while the driver can control it using the Touch Bar. Besides coaxing his wife, one can also enjoy lying comfortably in the car to kill time. When the seat heater is turned on, it gets warm and cozy, and one may even fall asleep while watching a movie.
The several screens in the car can be seamlessly switched to different screens with a three-finger slide, which is roughly the operation shown in the following picture.
This small function is much favored by the two of us. I can directly send videos and Douyin from the central control screen to my wife to watch, without even having to press the share button!
If you have to leave in a hurry, just take your gun and go, charge for only half an hour and you’ll be ready to go again. With 61% power, you can run around for three or four days!
