    Minor parking brake issue?

    I've used it once when the car for whatever reason didn't want to disengage the parking brake whilst in D. And I've used it once to test the emergency function. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/using-the-electronic-parking-brake-or-the-p-button-whilst-driving-at-speed.22669/post-389605

    Minor parking brake issue?

    Scary, however I do think you need a neutral “gear” for the car to be able to roll freely, for instance for towing. I can appreciate hindsight is 20/20 but perhaps hitting the brakes is a safer option when something unexpected occurs. I’ve had it happen where I thought the car was in drive and...

    Range prediction - if only

    From memory the usage tab (one of the tabs in the charge screen) shows the usage graph for the last 50 km, so maybe that’s all the GOM calculates with? It’s still strange it gets optimistic when the total accumulated total resets, because you’d think it would still have access to the last 50km...

    Range prediction - if only

    It somehow gets very optimistic when it resets, I think my car shows something ridiculous like 485km even though the WLTP is 435km. I think the standard used in China is CLTC which is known to be much more optimistic than WLTP. Again this is just thinking out loud, I don’t have any proof for this.

    Range prediction - if only

    I don’t know, I suspect the car’s software just goes “I don’t know anything about your driving so here’s what they’ve told me to show you” (WLTP or whatever formula SAIC uses). But that’s just my guess

    Range prediction - if only

    Considering your mileage (kilometerage?) is around 12.000, perhaps your total accumulated drive time has reached 100 hours, because the display can’t actually show 100 hours it resets back to 0 and in doing so resets your averages, defaulting back to a very optimistic range. Maybe check the page...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    The Dacia Spring would cover a lot of that, except the range, but most people don’t do 500+ miles a day so you are a bit of an outlier there I would say

    Uneven front tyre wear

    Have you had the alignment checked recently? A curb, pothole or even speed bump can throw out your toe settings, causing uneven wear.

    Infotainment Screen Failure

    Im sure your dealer would be more than happy to not have to do any updates. If you ask for no updates and they do them anyway, please share with the forum as we may have found some secret code to get updates then 😆

    New panel gap - how much to fix?

    I always really enjoyed the small steering wheel in my Peugeots, I think they called it the I-cockpit but don’t know if they’ve dropped that term by now

    Car shows -40 celsius and no air is coming out

    I would refuse to pay any charges to diagnose a fault they most likely caused. A fair amount of dealers seem to run updates via usb but then don’t reconfigure the car using SIPS, which I think is through a laptop, I’m not sure. I’m just regurgitating what I’ve read on this forum 🤭

    Will Caliban start on Monday morning?

    I agree with the above statements but do wonder if (some) manufactures think they can save money with a tiny 12V knowing it doesn’t have to crank a heavy diesel engine, thus the batteries don’t last as well as ICE ones did. And I wonder to what extent EVs tend to use more of the 12V when parked...

    Car shows -40 celsius and no air is coming out

    Has the dealer done any updates? They may have failed, or some dealers don't run through the complete process it seems. Might be worth checking directly with the dealer seeing as the car has been there only days ago.

    Broken Parcel Shelf 😢

    You could even look at third parties that will 3D print for you. Some seem expensive, but it might be cheaper than a new shelf, and it's cheaper than buying a 3D printer.

    Most useful MG4 accessory?

    Perhaps, but the drag coefficient of a model 3 is around 0.23, where the MG4 is around 0.27-0.28, so I doubt the design of the wheel really has as much impact on an MG4's range as it does on the model 3. As @siteguru said, anecdotal evidence from MG4 owners on this forum indicates the...

    Will Caliban start on Monday morning?

    What time does the live stream start?

    How can you tell which wheel goes on which corner?

    Did you have to initiate anything by holding down buttons etc? Or did the car just do it after you lowered the pressure?

    Playing music back from USB drive with large/long audio files

    Mine starts the last played file from the beginning, unless I get back in the car quickly (say popping into the shop), then the music continues where I left off. The biggest nuisance for me with usb music in this car is how it always reverts back to playing all the songs on the drive

    Will Caliban start on Monday morning?

    If the 12V doesn’t make it, it will at least be a strong indication that 20% charge is too low for the HV battery to top up the 12V, but like other said before, the timeframe might not be long enough for the 12V to need a top up anyway.

    Space saver wheel suitability

    The standard rim on the Trophy has an offset of +44 according to the fitment guide we used to consult at my old job. I love how they haven’t changed their password since I’ve left. I suppose having less offset will be fine, considering the space saver rim will be much narrower than the standard...
