As far as I know, it's only when planted. 😁

Gawd, I'm silly enough at my advanced age, in my 20s I'd have been in a ditch within a week. We lost a few friends to over enthusiasm back then. It's much quicker than my then quick bike!

You'll love your new XP. It's acceleration is out of this world - my mate calls mine a spacecar - "my stomach got turned inside out" + lots of swearing! And that was only launching in normal. Launch is hilarious fun. Plenty of ICE cars have higher max speeds, but very few reach legal limits as...

A 2022 is 3 years old. If it's a 2022 , the price should be far less than what the same dealer is selling 2025, or even 2024 models. When you sell it, the buyer will only offer 2022 prices, even though it's basically identical. The build date should be stamped on the car (maybe a plaque). In...

According to iSmart, my XPower charges on granny at 1.3 to 1.6kW. Usually 1.4-1 5. My solar app tells me charging draws 1.5 to 1.9kW. I assume peak charging occurs at peak draw, so ~2-300W are lost. All figures approximate.

I know you notice more people driving the same car as you after you buy, but it's taken me 4 months to see 5 other #MG4s on a trip between the mountains and Penrith - a red, another blue, Camden grey, silver, & XPower green. I thought I saw more, but it was too hard to tell while driving. 😁...

One of the reasons I enjoy it. I zoom off at the lights, hit the speed limit, and then drive sensibly. I like to think some owners might think "uncle Stu told me EVs are expensive, slow, and hopeless, but that cheap little EV was fast, smooth, and quiet. Effortless. Hmmm..." Well, I tell...

Judging by the angry exhaust noises when I let him pass as the limit changed, **TXR6 seemed quite upset with me today. People are going to go past if you don't do the limit, cobber. 🤷‍♂️ It was funny, as I passed him, I heard a huge roar - the vibration has never sounded that bad 😂 - but it...

How very dare they? Long live smurf blue!

Most of my driving is in 80km/h zones - I've only done about 500km in 100/110 zones, which probably helps. Living at ~650m and travelling between 100 and 1000m, I get good regen out or back every drive, which must help. I'm mostly in normal, but am prone to planting it around twonks 😂 Coming...

I've been seeing more and more MG4s in my neck of the woods. Massive discounts late last year (Australia) saw a huge spike in sales = many more on the road. I see all the "colours" but mostly orange, white, camden, and some blue. Had a great reaction passing an orange on the highway - huge...

After nearly four months my XPower has travelled 3000km, small potatoes to some, but a milestone to me. I'm getting comfortable now. Some lifetime stats: Average speed: 40 km/h (WHAT? 🙄) Juice use: 16.3kWh/100km (3.81 miles/kWh) Unexpected reversing: 4 (OPD always on, seems to happen after...

Mine was originally advertised as Brixton Metallic Blue. It's not metallic at all. 😂 I notice MG Australia now calls it Brixton Blue Premium. I just call it highlighter blue. Anecdotally, I get more "oh wow, I love that colour" comments from women. I can't complain about that! 😉😂

Megalong Valley is about 30min from my home. One way in, one way out. It's very tight in sections - tight enough that I'm faster through there on a small moto than a larger more powerful moto, let alone a car. I haven't taken the XPower down because of the tight sections. That said, there are a...

Eeek! 😱 I saw that, somehow missed it had been ripped off (I thought the dealer had done a number on it getting it off). [Makes note to watch out for puddles]
