    Teaching an old dog New Tricks

    If you have not already, get an Electroverse card from Octopus (You dont need to be a Octopus customer), it works on most chargers (there is a list on the website). Also might be an idea to download the Tesla app and when convenient try one.

    Lane Assist Trying To Kill Me!

    Looks like the car behind was not keeping a safe distance, and will be culpable for the shunt. Undoubtably there are some false stops and some cars appear to be over sensitive, however it is usually the car behind that will be done for not driving with due care and attention? Without proper...

    Stopped charging at 80%

    Ian is absolutely correct, you can also do it via the battery page in the car. It is strongly recommended to leave at 80% unless doing a longer journey, it is not good for the battery to leave at over 80% for longer periods of time, there are lots of discussions on the subject, just use the...

    iSmart New Android Version

    Looks like for trophy they have fixed the always on long range battery feature, 80% now says health mode. Dipped into the 100 years skin, and straight back out again...phew. Confirming unbinding request option, seemingly if the previous owner, or feckless dealer doesn't unbind or answer withing...

    Software update

    Improved LKA, screen response, LKA off in one selection etc. Mine is currently in dealers getting updated, I told them LKA was pulling and de-selection was dangerous when driving, they are now updating (as I type), picking up later this afternoon. Update, they said the car has a recall (it is...

    Ghostly driver

    You do not require to turn it off at each journeys start as it is a ZS not a MG4, on the ZS once turned off it will stay off. Poster should turn off :)

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    Will probably go back to using a Zappi and battery for my next house (I had a 1st generation previously). It is a great way to help the country balance the power systems and also do your bit for climate change. Taking power from the grid at night (for the car and running all the houshold...

    Waiting on my MG4 Trophy

    I thought MG offered 1 weeks drive away insurance for free (do ask the dealer) which would simplify things for you?

    A few little issues, advice needed

    I tested this with the wife driving and me timing with a stopwatch, its much faster than you think. Just going into surgery now :(

    MG 4 Long Range miles

    It also depends on type of driving, traffic conditions etc (my wife gets over full range on a long drive, I don't :(). Also have you carried out a balance charge? e.g. leave plugged in after reaching 100% and it will balance the cells as recommended in manual. Also I understand that aircon can...

    Safe to leave plugged in after 100% is reached?

    Sorry, I see its a LR so you should be able to set the charge limit in the car or app

    Battery Life down to 242 miles rather than 275

    Get an electroverse card from Octopus, especially if going to France. You do not get pre-charged and also get a discount. Most French chargers work with this card (you can check on their map if in doubt) and it is very easy to use. Might be a good idea to also download the Tesla app, Their map...

    Safe to leave plugged in after 100% is reached?

    Assuming you are on Octopus go which changed to 5 hrs from 00.30 to 5.30 on the 1st of July. Do check website or contact them if in doubt.

    They prefer their horse and cart! (EV rejection)

    I never ever try to persuade them. Keep it all to yourselves and enjoy. Then you can have the enjoyment of making them squirm when they eventually get one.
