Video Summary
Here's a concise summary of the key points from the video:- Smart #1 Brabus is similar to the Volvo EX30; they are like twins.
- The car's HVAC stops when it's plugged in and reaches 100% charging. However, it doesn't always heat the cabin.
- The navigation system may not reliably show the percentage upon arrival, sometimes showing a pessimistic estimation, but but filling might be low and off.
- When the car is plugged in, the HVAC does not pull power from the plug, which is a minus.
- The temperature adjustment before charging was not activated, possibly involving heat scavenging to warm the battery for optimal temperature.
- It seems there is some glitch between the screens concerning total distance.
- Matrix lights have great spread and strength but were reported to be too aggressive.
- Auto-steer doesn’t slow down in curves as other cars do.
- Navigation and screens sometimes freeze.
- Cruise control speed only reaches a maximum of 130, and may not be at speed GPS displays.
- Rear backseats have a squeaking sound, so the ride on this car is not as smooth as others may be.
- The car was “thirsty” and only arrived at next charger at 3%.
- IONITY was the cheapest in comparison to Recharge or Tesla because Ionity had monthly charges. However, Tesla has gone up.
- The battery is at optimal temperature when charging.
- Fake engine sounds, but only internal.
- The #1 Brabus handles almost like a go-kart.
