No, I think your computer's Intrinsic Sense Module (ISM) was merely reflecting the fact that your quote was, in its humble opinion, a piece of p***.

Nick will be quite interested to see this 2005 W124TE, its either a misprint and a 1995 model or it's a W211 E Class.

Agree gordonbennet. I would not purchase 6mm tread depth tyres. Especially as on the often flooded rural roads I travel, I need as much tread depth as possible to clear the water away. Anything under 2mm is hopeless in standing water. The Continentals I use are 8mm when new, and have covered 8000+ miles before they are down to 6mm.

You missed the point, the REST of the worlds car makers havent done this, the battery ONLY charges off of the ICE alternator, so if you are running mostly on the electric motor, it doesnt get charged.

It is such a stupid oversight, you have to wonder if it was deliberate - and why......

You said:
"So if your (Hyundai) driving pattern means your HV (traction) battery isn't being fully charged, the charge pattern to the auxiliary battery will also suffer."

So is it uninformed nonsense, or pretty-much the same thing?

So have we gone from having to drive a diesel needless miles to instigate a DPF regen, to having to drive a hybrid needless miles to ensure it will start the next morning??
So much for saving the planet's resources...
