I can only think of few possibilities:
- not driving the car everyday
- too short distance drives
- play too much of the infotainment system while the engine is off
- not locking the car (manual says leaving the car unlocked drain more battery than locked)
- faulty battery?

My guess (tikam), user playing game/youtube via QDlink (MirrorLink) while the engine is off. tongue.gif


Hope this is just becoz of faulty battery.

From his way of pushing X50, I noticed there’s obvious flaw from X50 which could use a enhancement like installing those balance bar at the bottom of the car
And also brake performance is not bad but he mentioned overheat, which rarely occurs in most of YS khong video. Something to look into changing brake pad/disc
*
Agreed with your inputs here, however do remember he is pushing the limit and driving significantly faster around 80-120km/h on Genting hill.
I must said much faster than X70 AWD (boost to 30X Nm) which I notice around 70-110 km/h thru all his video.

For normal people like me, I wont even dare to go downhill upto 100km/h.

So for me, X50 already best in his own class can offer with the given price.
Of coz always rooms for improvement for those car enthusiast.

Also take away here, the car is quite nimble "YS use the word chunky?", he did mentioned it is very is easy to manipulate the car as the front is heavier to the tail when taking corners. To reduced under steer, he actually tilt it by jerking the sterling. Seem easy for him, but seem complicate for me..haha.

Its chuck as in "throw", chunky is big i think lol. He meant its easier to throw the body and control it. Something like that hence why its easier to manipulate movement.

Look at the time man 😂 go up and back down in just that time frame

Yes time is damn fast, if counting starting from guard house (4:12) and back (16.44) it is around 12 mins 30 secs for 1 round.

Maybe you can say some bad things about the Proton leaders, but they definitely know how to gamble.

Holding a pair of Twos and going All in with no move until Dec 29, I am impressed.

And all just minutes after I finished my cancellation later, at least not printed out yet.

So let´s continue our happy waiting.

No sure lucky for u or not.

Now you have keep waiting till SST exemption end date.

You know what I mean, Proton cant commit to 1st and 2nd time on timeline. 3rd time probably the same.

Haha... happy waiting

For sharing here and vent my dislike to Proton.

Yesterday I was told by my SA, my orange Flagship has been confirm.
So today SA comeback with the amount for the deposit.

Last minute here, SA said it is a must to take either Urban or Utility package. They car come with it.

I was a bit angry with this, as from start keep telling me it is not compulsory to take any package.

Everyone, my apologies to cause a page long of comments here.

As I said that I just vent my dislike feeling.

For update here.
I'm in the process making down-payment for the deposit.
Insurance has been issued and no plate is ready.
SA will provide the chassis no. on Monday.

I have taken the urban package on my thinking s follows:-

1) If dont accept means maybe have to wait till no sst exemption only can get car, thus I still need to pay 4-6k to top up. If before 2021, I won't accept becoz I was considering car value lost when coming to 2021 but anyhow I didn't get my car before this.

2) Powerboot is nice to have, but for me was not necessary and additionally no kick sensor is the real disappointment. When your hand is lifting many stuff that is where powerboot with kick sensor come handy else I can use my hand, X50 boot is neither heavy or too high for my hand.
Of coz if I want, I was thinking after 1 yr later, then install outside.
To me paying Rm2500 (value I gave Proton) vs outside Rm2000, the only pro here is 5 years warranty.

3) Carpet and sun shade (est. Rm300 vs Proton RM400) , both is something I need, but I was thinking to get medium grade mat like trapo. Now I have to give up until the coil mat need to change. I dont think coil carpet is something can sell easily and nobody will look for it also.

4) SmartTag, before Covid-19, I'm using atleast one or twice a month. My SmartTag is actually quite bad condition, if you are familiar 2nd gen always has problem with it LCD screen. So I take it X50 built-in smartag (est. RM 450 vs Proton Rm600) is not that bad, especially if you crossing Penang 1st bridge. RFID (I do have it on my Honda City) dont get the same amount of discount.

So thanks everyone for your inputs here. I do see as Proton customer here, we feel same here that Proton policy is not par with other brands on customer satisfaction or transparency.

Thinking positively, Proton force sales is stealing est. Rm750, not RM 3500.
If you were install outside will also need around Rm2.7k but one maybe said, outside can get better features and quality which I agreed, unfortunately this is the choice have to make to avoid paying SST.

The sound system in the flagship donot lack hi frequency in my opinion. 
The sound quality is average in my opinion.  The bass and mid  quality is lacking more than high frequency .

Driving flagship, the audio dept sucks to max

Any good suggestions to improve it without voiding any warranty?

Possible just to add a sub-woofer under the seat or under boot (utility & spare tired storage area)?
Or changing the 2 door speaker or all 4 or 6 speaker to 2 ways or 3 ways speaker configuration without touching HU unit?

Getting my car soon, also thinking about options can be done on audio department.
Of coz, don't expect high budget on this.

Thanks.

1. Go to settings > Audio > Equalizer
2. Choose EQ preset to “PROTON”
3. If you use app like Spotify where you can adjust EQ, maintain all range to 0 db which is center by default.
4. PROTON preset shoots high to max so it can be very piercing sound while having just ‘ok’ low range bass
5. So you need to reduce high range after 150hz, -2 or even -6
6. I personally reduce to -6 because the high range is just too sharp

Thanks for the advice, definite will try it out first especially this is free rclxms.gif thumbup.gif

That's the 'rectification process' then if decided to accept to wait.
Not my concern, since I can wait and not like die die must have the car now, as long as I dont pay extra sst later.

However I have to comment on your attitude here.
What's the problem with your MENTALITY that lost here? What's the hack with you jumped the conclusion the simple fix must leave car or wait 2 months for spare parts, express you anger here.
Did I offence you in my response earlier? I politely share my view points here, since you asking.

Please have consideration on response to other. I will stop responding on your comments.

since you getting the car tomorrow, its already registered and fully paid; how to reject?

any how, good luck to you, hopefully only small problems; my turn also coming soon, have to pray hard for less problems laugh.gif

Reject is not always easy but time and patience needed until they rectify the issue.

For sure, reject mean bank wont release payment. Then it is the process who can wait longer and of coz reputation of Proton can be a point for discussion.

Normally this is not the case, they will try and able to retify most of the problems mentioned earlier in inspection, like paint job, or missing cover or minor software issues.

Unless this is a major defect and cant be retify, example wrong chassis or registration or car came. in already got accidental damage.
