Well, it went from 18ish to 22ish. 🤷‍♂️

Well, the mg service people said battery is fine, but didnt give me soh. Ive been doing equalising charging etc. I reset the cumulative odo when i changed tires, so pretty confident thats the cause of the loss of range… will probably switch back to factory or another tyre when the time comes

Pilot sport 5s … i think ive lost about 15% range with these, will be switching to something else when the time comes

Should I defrag the hard drive as well ? 1st service this week. Will see what they say about battery soh. But a big part of it is the tires. I think I took a 20% or so hit on range switching to Continental Pro Sport 5’s (non ev)

Hmm yeh mybe, when dealer sold me the car he reckoned just charge it to 100%. Im not panicking, fine to do regular charging when commuting and charge to 100% on long trips. But a bit bummed that a car with 400km claimed range is anything but. Max 280km odd on a full charge now

Since changing the tires on the xpower, i think i’m now getting roughly 23kwh/100km. It sucks balls. In the real world, limited charging to 80%, trying to avoid it going down to 20%, only doing roughly 120km between charges

Well I for one had a nice tussle with an amg c63s today, as well as an older hsv clubsport. No definitive results, but a bit of fun on the open road which im pretty sure the drivers of both the other cars didnt expect 😊. I was honestly surprised i was able to give the amg a run for his money...

I might copy your signature … MG4 Xpower - zero vibes, zero problems Generally loving mine

Should prob have stopped in Cerecita for a fast charge ?

I replaced the stock Bridgestone Turanza T005 tires for Michelin Pilot Sport 5’s at just over 30’kms. I changed brands because I was a bit pissed at how soon they needed replacing. The new tires are really good - but - I’ve lost a lot of range (maybe 15% or so?) and I’m not sure if they’re going...

I wouldn’t make it 100 metres down the road without lka complaining. It is a truely evil feature conceived by the devil himself and must be defeated. Please some good soul give us a way to permanently turn it off 🙏

I’m pretty sure i’m on the latest software. But roads where i live mean it will never work properly I think. I’d like MG to change the behaviour of the steering wheel acc button - make it so long press turns LKA off when ACC is not active.

Thought I’d do a quick LKA guide for beginners 1] you will feel a nudge of the wheel, maybe a beep 2] yell “F YOU CAR” loudly 3] lean over and fumble with the touch screen while driving poorly 4] curse yourself for not remembering to turn it off before you left 5] curse MG for making it so the...

“…especially as it is brakes” 🤣. Nothing in stock covers affects braking, if anything having covers would prevent heat dissipating and make braking worse Edit: but if we’re talking about aftermarket covers that work differently then 🤷‍♂️

I suspect it's a software nanny to prevent unskilled owners from sending their cars sideways into shrubberies. But … I bought a car with 600 Nm and 4 wheel drive for a reason. Instead of letting me use it, the car does the exact opposite- it hobbles itself. I’ve got one place in particular where...
