Hi- new to forum. 16SE 7+CCS.
Travel to Mexico from Santa Cruz took 21 hours. I ran into what seemed to be battery overheating at multiple ccs stations. Car charged on level 2 when ccs worked for 2-10 secs then stopped, went solid yellow, then flashed red twice... Then nothing.
Great car. I know manual says ccs then level 2 alternating, but that's not reasonable for family travel use. The stations are here- the car needs to do 70 constant, some fwy hills, and still ccs charge.
88kmh seems to keep battery cool enough to ccs charge, but that's about 50mph which is frightening as no rig is ever going 55.
Anyone else travel in theirs? Is this problem gone in 2017's? Any techs watching The forum? I'll be asking for a case number on Monday due to this performance ( or lack thereof).
