Range is related to how the car was driven in the last X miles. If the previous owner did a lot of motorway driving in the last X miles, the expected range available for a given state of charge will be lower. The "remaining miles" is often, for good reason called the "Guess-O-Meter"

Was this DC chargers ? The 22KW sounds a lot like what we have here in Denmark for AC Destinations chargers. 3 phase 32A Very few cars accept more than 11KW on these though, but that's due to the onboard charger not being able to do more. Most domestic households only have 3 phase 16A, so...

Does these free DC chargers specifically state they can do more than 30KW ? I have read that some places that have free charging puts a time and charge wattage limit on their chargers. Chargers could also be load sharing, if there are more than 1 charger, it might have to share the incoming...

When i bought ours i made a service contract with them, i pay a monthly fee and this then covers the yearly service including all the materials needed to do, what is mentioned in the service book. They also said it would include updating the software, i of course assumed that would mean, they...

I think that's only on the first gen. cars. Second gen, has a voltage readout in one of the menu's in the digital instrument cluster, you just have to press left or right on the right cluster of directional keys on the steering wheel, one of the 4 menu's have the 12V battery voltage.

It is very easy to test if the onboard 12V battery charger, actually charges the battery. Measure the voltage on the battery with the car off. 12.6 volt is fully charged and anything below 12V is pretty much a depleted battery. After than, put the car into READY mode and measure the voltage on...

I had that text also in our first MG. First one text saying something to the effect of "Your car with VIN XXX has been involved in an accident" 1 second later "The airbags in your car with VIN XXX has been deployed". If it says the airbags has been deployed, my first though is....They...

Then software that needs updating as far as i was told is the one in the charger. Remember, this is a modern car, it has a small "computer" with its own software for each module. Brake module, camera, infotainment, airbag, charger, climate control, etc. So the version of the infotainment is...

ACC wont engage under a certain speed as far as i remember

Just checking. Does this only occur at home or also when you park it somewhere else. Just to rule out, something else, jamming the signals where you live. ? To be honest, the TPMS system is only a receiving system, the only transmitters are inside the tyres and those are battery powered, if...

Redownloaded the map update file, extracted it and put it on another USB drive of the same make and model and the car now updated the maps without issue. Tried comparing and both drives contained the same amount of bytes and the same number of files so very very odd. But as said...Now i have...

Will retry with EXFat, last time NTFS worked fine, but i will give it a try then :)

If i copy the maps folder to the root of the thumbdrive i get MD5 verification error, i have had this problem with previous updates, as has many others, but if you delete 2 files it usually works, but not this time. Last time it was file_verification and vn.txt, this time there is no vn.txt...

Downloaded the files and put them on a freshly NTFS formatted thumb drive and deleted the 2 files "File_Verification" and "versions.txt" but this time i still get the pesky MD5 hash error. I have done the 2022 to 2023 update but this time it does not want to do it, it seems. Will probably have...

My wife called me the other day, dash was lit up like a pinball machine. Told her to just drive it whereever she needed to go and leave it. When she returned 1 hour later, the dashboard was still lit up, but after driving for 2 minutes they all cleared. She tried the "hold down house button...
