Hi everyone! I'm based in Portugal and a happy owner of a second hand MG ZS Luxury Long Range with 11kW AC charging capability. The car is pretty much 2 years old now (dec 2021) and has just over 5.000Km on it. Happy so far!
Not knowing the car/being aware that buying a second hand card sometimes means not knowing its full history. I browsed the forum and got some questions answered but I still have a couple hoping you guys could shed some light on these:
- I'm charging at home in the same plug/extension cord where I used to charge a Tesla. I would easily get 13A at 230+V (good wiring!). Currently the MG app reads 1.91kW which dividing by 225 (not even 230+) means ~8 amps. The portable charger seems rated to 10A at least. I don't have Tesla's UMC charger anymore to test it. What am I missing?
- While driving I have what seems to be a shaky top panel (right above the head, next to the sunroof opening) vibrating a lot. Literally seems like dubstep! wubwubwubwubwub
Anyone else have that kind of vibration there/anywhere?
- Last but not least Apple Caply seems finicky sometimes and I'm using a genuine apple cable (second one I'm trying). Sometime disconnects, sometimes I have to reconnect the cable twice. Phone seems to be always charging but CarPlay doesn't always boot up. Any similar experience?
Hope to be able to answer stuff to new members in a couple of months learning from you guys
Thanks!
