Not necessarily. I definitely locked myself out of the car this way. Perhaps I threw the jacket with the keys too far from the boot lock.

I paid a little more than that for my 1st service but I'd negotiated the Tesla update to be included so I was reasonably happy. The invoice did show a small item (about £5) for fluid disposal which is interesting for an EVs first service but overall I was happy so it wasn't worth complaining...

And I would recommend looking for a different dealer.

Does the pre-FL run android auto on the left socket or did they just switch them round in the FL?

If you want one that could charge at 11kW on the right charger then you will want a 3-phase cable. 2M is incredibly short though so maybe you are only thinking of using it with your home charger.

Unless the first buyer specifically requested it, I can almost guarantee that it wasn't done at the PDI. Mine isn't quite 2 years old (Early Jan 2023) and at that stage the dealers didn't know anything about it and the dealer had to get special permission from MG to install the update.

If you are getting it from, a dealer then get them to do the EVCC update before you take it away. Don't buy a single phase Type 2 cable. You wont need it on the way home but a 3 phase cable will let you charge at 11kW if you find a 3 phase AC charger. These aren't common in the UK but are around...

You cant lock the door with the key inside but on the FL you can lock the door, open the boot, put the key in and close the boot.

That's fine for the PFL but for the FL MG were selling the wrong cable. It is 3 phase but only 11kW

I haven't heard of anyone who has had it done with the PDI unless they have explicitly asked for it. It should have been done as a recall for everyone and as standard on all new deliveries but that would need MG to admit that it was a bug in the software.

The problem is that the car is already locked. The boot relocks itself when it is closed. Fortunately I had my phone in my pocket so I could unlock the car.

Yes it needs the update. I haven't heard of any new FL that has had the update done without it being asked for. If you ask at the time you are buying the car you will almost certainly get it done for nothing (ask for the EVCC update). If you ask at the time of the first service you may get it...

You need to be a bit careful with your keys. This behaviour makes it quite easy to open the boot throw your coat in the back and realise too late that your keys were in your coat.

Do you also own a Tesla? When I use the app it only shows open chargers when I click on "Find a charger". Have a look at Gonerby moor on the A1 that is definitely a closed Tesla and doesnt show on my app.

I didn't get one with mine. My dealer said "don't buy the MG one, get a 3 phase from amazon". The FL 5 can get 11kW with a 3 phase cable and the right charger. I've only used it once in the 20 months that I've had the car but I was glad of the extra speed on that occasion.

I don't think there are many 22kw chargers in the UK. They are very popular in france though.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to sound like arguing. More of a planning issue for how long the car would take to charge,

The mg granny charger doesn't get to 3kW. I think it is only 2300W.

I bought the cheapest adapter I could find (EV Cable Adapter 2022 MG ZS MG4 MG5 Discharge V2L Vehicle to Load UK Power Cut | eBay) and plugged a good quality outdoor extension lead to it. It has worked faultlessly so far.

Something heavy on a seat confusing the seat belt sensor?
