    MG4 in Australia

    Mine goes in on the 10th of March. The "detailed" service description says they'll check for software updates and apply them if existent. I doubt it very much but will see what they actually do. There's nothing really "wrong " that i'd pay for, but smoother ELK/LKA would be appreciated I...

    MG4 in Australia

    I have an e-bike which I use to ride the Bay Run each morning after having taken the dogs for their morning walk. Love it. Certainly does make the uphill bits a lot more enjoyable than the alternative :ROFLMAO:

    MG 4 TJA failure.

    Isn't it easier to just tap the brakes? I don't use TJA but use ACC extensively. Does a long press of the left toggle disable TJA or just the steering function. I'd love a "physical button" method to turn off LKA/ELK in ACC but retain the speed keeping/ distance keeping function ( the...

    MG 4 TJA failure.

    Just to clarify. In my experience the colour of the steering wheel (car in lane markings in ACC mode) is important to note. If the wheel/lane markings is White, steering control (for both TJA or LKA/ELK in ACC) is inactive. If Green, it is active. If Yellow/Orange it is disabled, typically...

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    Did a Golf R who thought they'd get past me taking off from the lights before the third lane ended... No you won't :ROFLMAO: Also a Porsche Macan, but I guess it was just the soccer mum version... I try not to let my youthful exuberance overtake my better judgement too often though...

    Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

    Another lovely day beside the seaside ;)

    Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

    Just a typical lazy day at the beach here.

    Hot enough for you?

    It was a balmy 43 here at the beach house at Black Point SA. ... before it cooled down in the evening. Lovely!

    Only charging at 45kW max. on 350kW charger.

    The Australian brochures have only ever claimed 88kW and still do. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0580/0476/6795/files/MG4_Product_Brochure_2025_v2.pdf?v=1751962542 *Not sure if this link is going to be valid in perpetuity...

    Only charging at 45kW max. on 350kW charger.

    Exactly! Past 80% things really slow down. 90% to excruciating levels. There's one leg on my "regular" 2 day 1500km trek from Sydney NSW to the beach house in SA where I used to charge up to 85% to minimise the range anxiety but these days the only time I charge past 80 is if I can't get back...

    Only charging at 45kW max. on 350kW charger.

    There's no strange reason kW limit is halved! It's physics ;) P=VxI 360kW chargers are 800V X 450A. They are typically current (I) limited so a 400V car can only get up to 400V x 450A = 180kW Stations do have total power limits. Tesla sites are configured so that each supercharger plug...

    Only charging at 45kW max. on 350kW charger.

    The Taycan is an 800V architecture car and designed to support 350kW charging on suitable 800V chargers. The MG4 is 400V architecture and the SR/51kWh LFP battery version tops out at 88kW charging, albeit the most I've seen on ours is 70ish kW for a little while. It's not our long distance car...

    Upgrading base MG4 as much as possible...

    I recommend the JBL Stage 2 604C speakers. They include replacement tweeters and bass/midrange drivers that fit the MG4 original equipment locations and significantly upgrade the sound quality. There are some links to installation instructions I can look up if you are interested. I have them...

    Chinese manufacturers

    Where "bit of a Berk" is shorthand for Bond film level of evil megalomaniac ;) If they'd actually produced the compact "Model 2" it would have been the car to suit us, but the Y and 3 are just too big for our needs. Damn shame.

    I'm thinking that with a couple of million vehicles under their belts the large manufacturers have confirmed there's no practical advantage ;)

    Miles/kWh

    I don't get it. The torque the electric motor supplies is essentially constant irrespective of speed. All I can see is you are adding additional mass for no gain. ?

    Miles/kWh

    So, not actually a practical suggestion for the vast majority of people going on trips outside of town. For sure, it's true that you will get much better energy utilisation at 85kph vs the speed limit of 100 or 110kph. One of the best things to do if you are in danger of not making it to the...
