Remaining Issues B10 after update

The lane keeping assistant is much less aggressive, but even in the lowest setting, it still intervenes too much. When on the highway, you sometimes get pushed halfway across a lane. This is unpleasant for yourself and certainly for the traffic around you. It’s still almost necessary to turn it off, which is a pity. ACC and LCC have also become quite milder in sudden braking. The distance to the vehicle in front is still really quite large. The tricky part is that when another car merges, the B10 brakes so much that other traffic overtakes you. The speed can drop dramatically, going from 105 to 85 km/h. That difference is really too great. Other traffic does not understand. This means you end up bridging the ACC/LCC with the 'gas pedal', and in my opinion, this creates a new problem. Tiny movements of your right foot lead directly to adjustments in power and/or speed because the ACC is trying to do it's thing. The car starts to jitter, which is really annoying. This also happens when the road is a bit bumpy; the car brakes immediately when rolling off a bump and accelerates when going up a bump. This occurs on speed bumps, but also on the highway if the road isn’t entirely smooth but somewhat undulating. In both cases, I now immediately turn off the ACC/LCC. Furthermore, I think this significantly impacts the new one-pedal drive capability. You get quite jostled by the car. This might also be because I use it awkwardly. (But I don’t think so of course 😀) I immediately turned it off. Using LCC on the highway goes fine until there's a slight curve; then the car tends to veer outwards. When you're in the left lane with traffic in the right lane, during a left curve, you get dangerously close to the traffic in the right lane. Steering manually works, but it has quite a substantial impact on the driving direction... Not optimal. Therefore, I don’t use LCC anymore at all. These are quite bothersome issues for me, and I hope you can report this to Leapmotor in the hope that it will be improved. Then there are a few operational things that don’t work flawlessly but are not insurmountable. Due to the lack of a rear windshield wiper, I really have to clean the rear window every two days (this is also because of the weather). I have set in the app that the car may/must unlock when my phone is nearby (at maximum distance), and that the car must be locked manually. This is because the car frequently unlocked properly, but as soon as I walked around the car to unplug it, it would lock again. So it can only be opened via the app after that. The car opening goes reasonably well, but I often find myself standing right next to the door and nothing happens until I take out my phone. Then the car springs open. (Due to the temperature, I usually have already turned on the interior climate, so the car is 'awake.') Locking using the button on the door handle doesn't work 99% of the time. This is really inconvenient because then I have to do it with the app on my phone. I park the car, put it in park, get out, plug it in, and try to operate the button... it’s almost never successful. Since the update, the climate system always defaults to air conditioning instead of heating (as I left it). Before the update, it stayed in the last setting. There is a message on the display every trip that the monitoring system that 'watches' you (I’m forgetting what it’s called) is 'temporarily' not functioning. Furthermore, it's virtually impossible to connect the car to your home network if it has an IP range (which almost everyone has at home (at least here in the netherlands) of 192.168.1.xxx. That 1 in the range must be something else. However, connecting via a hotspot works. Don't get me wrong, i love the car. But hope this will help to improve it even more.
