  • Those Shelly diagrams are confusing because it’s not clear that the diagram is the external connections. I’m used to seeing it the other way-

    The SW looks an awful lot like a relay contact that is internally connected to line. Little harm wiring that wrong.

    That O terminal looks like a coil that needs a L connection to energize it cause the other side is already connected to N, let’s put some power to it through my switch!

    Here’s how it should be visualized














  • The size, performance and comfort are all great. The tech works well enough for me. I wouldn’t call it snappy but it is acceptable. Visibility is good, the rear hatch opens very quickly, seats are comfortable though I miss my cooled/ventilated seats.

    The little things I’d change-

    The transition from regen to friction brakes at 3mph is not always smooth depending on your driving style. 1 pedal mode makes it seamless but once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.

    Dial gear selector is meh, but way better than the stalk- changed for 2025

    Published range is at 55 or 60 mph. I get 2.5 mi/kwh on the interstate keeping up with traffic. In town of course you can double that, but it’s a tiny fraction of my consumption. Not actually an issue in my use case but worth mentioning that the published 280 miles is really 230. And you won’t find a charger at exactly 0% so plan on 200.

    No mechanical key for when the 12v dies. Goofy procedure for when it does.

    Pointlessly complicated rear door latch.
