    MG5 Updates (Tesla)

    I don't know if you have a choice of dealers where you live but I'd be tempted to shop around for your next service.

    MG5 Updates (Tesla)

    I think they will all say that it is chargeable but it only costs them a little bit of workshop time so you might be able to get it included with some other work. My dealer (Apple MG) did it for free at the first service but I'd prepared the ground a bit by discussing it with them in advance..

    Location of the "T-Box" telematics ECU

    I would have really missed the app on the day I locked my keys in the boot.

    Slower DC charging after software update

    If you are interested in looking in detail at charge rates then the Gridserve phone app has a good feature. It gives a graph of the charging session while it is happening and in your charging history.

    Slower DC charging after software update

    Rare, but my 18 month old FL occasionally gets to about 80 kW. I have even seen 82 on the charger screen but I'm not sure the car was getting all of that.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Perhaps if you had been able to mention that you'd think about having your service done elsewhere they might have changed thier mind. The update doesn't cost them anything, just some time hooked up in the workshop.

    Alternatives to MG5

    While that is definitely true (I try not to think about how much by 72 plate MG5 is worth). I think it gives a bit of a misleading impression. Its not as though the price has tumbled because there is anything wrong with them. The second hand price has just followed the new price in tumbling. I...

    MG5 FL KERS button not working

    Personal preference is the only reason. In KERS 3 you don't have to move to the brake pedal so often but you do have to have precise control of the throttle in order to coast. Some people (me included) really like that but it really annoys others. Its a shame that the car doesn't remember the...

    Quirks of the MG5

    Agree with most of your points. I don't really need a printed handbook but it would be nice if it was easier to read in car. For the phone thing - I've put a phone holder on the air vent between the console and the steering wheel. I can still get to the phone if I need too but it keeps it out of...

    Replacing 12V Battery

    because almost everyone they talk to would understand that it means the second half of 2021. For as long as I can remember people have referred to their car's age based on the registration and that includes 2 different styles of letters and the current numeric system.

    Can’t start AC remotely when charging? . I’m getting “error 255”

    Not ideal but I think you can turn on the ac first and then start charging. Mine works that way but the AC turns off after 10 mins.

    Gridserve app summer discount.

    There is currently 20% off Gridserve if you use their App. It brings the price down to 62p and the app seems to work well. It took me a while to see where they put the location number on their rapid chargers (right at the very top) but once I sorted that it was all very smooth, It even gives...

    Replacing 12V Battery

    Is there any point on an EV? There is a very big battery already available if you need the sort of thing a leisure battery would be used for.

    Removing back seat cushion

    If it is a FL then you have a couple of cables to disconnect after you have unclipped the seat but before you try to remove it completely.

    5.5 miles/kWh!

    M25 SOUTH MIMMS SF CONNECT MOTORWAY SERVICE AREA UNLEADED. 169.9p. by Site Owner Update Price. It was more of a comment on Motorway service station prices than the car. But more seriously the price of rapid charging in the UK seems ridiculous. On a recent trip to The Netherlands I was paying...
