Yes noticed it.

I don't regard it as a software issue.

Not hard to press the button to unfold them.

Wiring harnesses are bespoke for the build spec of the car.

Of course there is a way to turn off the parking brake. Either with a code reader or through service menu.

How do you think the pads can be changed?

Same with every other modern car with an electric parking brake.

Or it's the summer factory shut down???? That's a two week break, which as it happens every year would have been incorporated into the estimated delivery dates. No not always. The shut down can be extended particularly if there is a shortage of components or alterations at the factory. Dealers rare...

It's in the settings under navigation I believe.

Lots of people are driving the e-power QQ and are very happy.

Worth taking one for a test drive as it is only your opinion that counts when it comes to buying a car.

main issues ive noticed is that between autobox and stop/start it can bog down coming out of junctions if you time it wrong also parking, lift the brake and it doesn't creep forward, it lurches. had a '20 sportage auto previously and had to say the autobox was a lot smoother Not experienced either ...

Yes

You soon get used to it. All down to the hybrid stop start system.

One day there will be a software update to fix it hopefully

But have been driving this one for 18 months now and doesn't cause an issue.

I've got a spare wheel and for holidays I drop the boot floor to the lowest position and it increases the available space a great deal.

Don't have a pram so can't help.

Why not take a pram and some luggage to the dealer to do a test fit?
