So Just to remove a misunderstanding here. The ZS EV does not have Lidar. It has a Radar (Well, 3 if it is the version with blind spot monitoring). Lidar is something quite different from radar.

I have tried a few times where my car was not charged up for a longer trip and suddenly work called and asked me to do this longer trip so had to do a charge session pretty quickly after leaving so not had time to heat the battery. It really DOES impact the charge speed, once i elected to go to...

This seems to vary wildly from brand to brand. (I saw a Danish EV car reviewer in some sort of Chinese car, that ran out when it had an indicated SoT of 4% and he was 1 mile from the charger....Car went from "This is fine" to "Yeah i dont want to drive any further" in literal seconds) To be...

Once in my Tesla i had to do a 100 mile trip to a SuC, the car started with the battery at negative 11 celcius and the destination was set for the supercharger. Travel time was about 1½ hours. The "Preheating battery for fast charging" message popped up as soon as i put it in drive in the...

Because i simply do not fit inside of the car before the seat is all the way back. When we had the ZS EV as our daily driver, my wife would always adjust the seat to fit her and when i came and dove into the car i would be completely pinned and had to awkwardly get one hand down and press the...

Here atleast, the mats were an optional extra, i did not tick the box for mats so i did not get them. To be honest, i owned a ZS EV previously and got the standard mat set and it was very obviously a very cheap set of mats that were not at all any good. This time i did not order them as they...

I bet that is down to sound proofing, they all tick, you probably just dont hear it on more "expensive" cars.

If i were you i might try this. 1. Charge the 12V battery until it has sufficient charge to run the Low voltage stuff in the car (2 hours should be sufficient, depending on the charge capabilities of the charger). 2. Remove the granny charger from the charge port 3. Remove the negative...

You dont have it on a charge timer by chance. (The car, not the charger offcourse) If it is set to charge at a specific time, it will not start before that time has arrived.

To be fair, his is the "luxury" which seems to be like the "Trophy connect" so he would probably have live traffic. Of course not, if the maps for his country is not included in the map package though. :)

Isn't the ticking "just" metal expanding or contracting noises. I remember back from when i drove an ICE car, on hot days, when you would park the car, the exhaust would ping away for minutes while the metal contracted.

To be honest, with the speed of the electric seats i would also much rather have manual. My Tesla with memory seats pushes the seat all the way back when parking and the moves into position when putting it in D. On the MG, which my wife who is 8 inches shorter than me drives 90% of the time it...

If you have just had the car delivered part of the PDI would have been to fully update all hardware modules in the car to the latest firmware version. At least that's what i was told by the Danish dealer I bought from....It is a bulletpoint on their PDI to make sure the MG computer says "All...

This is the camera in the Gen 2

Could easily be mitigated with "PIN to drive" :)
