Upon my first charging event after installing v.1.7, I notice that the charging speed is about 5 mi/hr less than before v.1.7. I have always had a 27 mi/hr speed and now it's 22. Has anyone else noticed a reduction?
V.1.7 and charging speed

Is this with the same soc?
Did you have the same temperature of battery (how long did you drive before charge + weather changes).
Did you tell it you were going to a charging station so it could prep the battery?
Was it the same charging station?
There are alas a lot of variables.
Wait I am thinking of high speed charging. If this is home charging is it not meant to be Independent of soc? If home charging I assume it is somewhat iso temperature so … a lot less variables

You need to give us more details on the charging setup. At home? Away? What EVSE are you using? What is the charging amperage readout on the dash?
I might add that the SOC is also unchanged -- I charge from 20's to 80%. After about a dozen such charges that I've had the P8, I also experienced for the first time where the charge did not stop at 80% -- it went to 81%. No big deal, but interesting.

On the heater note I was shocked by how much power the heater uses … I managed to get to 121kW/100mile. I went back to my heated steering wheel and seat they are so much cheaper.
Correct, reading the speed on the inst. panel. Good thought on the heater. That's a possibility. I will check that next time.
