Exactly right, a PCP on ex-demo is the best way forward, just what I've done.

Exactly right. You only have to look at the state of Germany right now and VW, it’s very very serious for them, but also Porsche, BMW, Audi. They will be eliminated from the Chinese market completely. MG is doing great, new and refreshed models on the way including rumoured semi solid state...

Yes, I meant HVAC system.

Xpower needs a long range option! The heat pump is also not efficient. Various changes will improves range / efficiency for next version, including potentially semi solid state battery.

At slow speeds you just put traffic jam assist on. There is no benefit to creep mode, except possibly reverse, where OPD if enabled, is not active (it should be). OPD is always easier to drive / modulate speed rather than require cognitive load in using the brake. As Tesla / Musk correctly says...

You’re hired for cleaning, how much you charge ?

Yea and add charging in there. Why for example does OPD sometimes fail to enable on 90% SOC with spurious low kinetic energy warning.

Actually it is good enough in terms of functional enough for all users. Objectively, yes UI could be better and certainly faster, more shortcuts and refined behaviour, but plenty good enough. Ultimately it drives well.

The recent 2.0.7 version did get more reliable but it still not 100% and you would not want to rely on it as digital key!

It would not make sense for the core App workings to be different, ie using the same APIs. Maybe just the UI / skin is different for EU.

I’m sure they know it and next gen vehicle software will be better.

Why is the SAIC infrastructure so slow!? The mobile App only even became remotely reliable with the last version 5/6 weeks ago. There are only around a dozen core data points the App shows, SOC and vehicle status screen items. The car should push changes to the cloud, each of which is a few...

Yeah, the dealer (salesman) I purchased ex demo Xpower from was very poor, not doing updates as requested. Their technician was actually very good and embarrassed about their lousy comms. How my local dealer in Bognor, Richmond group was very good. Everyone considering a purchase (of anything)...

If you mean Safety - vehicle power, it does leave it on including driver screen. Both should go off.

Green looks fantastic, white & blue also good, so don’t change. And after a few months you won’t worry about someone dinging it, but you find yourself parking with max space around you!
