    Xpower first impressions

    Apparently the 11kw chargers need to be on a 3 phase electricity supply so the vast majority of 7kw chargers will be on 1 phase. My workplace did a site survey and its on 1 phase too, hence the 7kw....still better than granny charging when i am on site for 6 hours or so (when they finally get...

    X Power not liked by James and Kate

    I had nothing like this in any of my previous 13 ICE cars, well perhaps the heated seats in the Volvo S40, and parking sensors on my BMW E60... ...so all of this was just new to me and I love a lot of the features like OPD/Regen, 360 camera, blind spot, ACC etc....I can deal with the likes of...

    Xpower first impressions

    I just find some of the price differences mad....when I travel to Leeds tomorrow, it will cost me £10 cheaper to charge at Tesla than it would at a supercharger literally next to my work office. Disappointingly, my work office should have had 12 7kW chargers connected just after xmas but it has...

    Aye it's a shame there are no non-Tesla chargers near me (the one in Harrogate is 83 miles away) otherwise I would do the same!

    Xpower first impressions

    Awesome thanks - will have a think whether its worth subscribing as dont often go to our Leeds office, though on the rare occassion, it will be twice this week! Will take some restraint sticking in the left lane with ACC on as I tend to always be in the right lane overtaking when i had my ICE...

    Xpower first impressions

    Thank you - will be leaving around 8am so generally not heaving so planning on ACC in ECO so will see how that goes, but will certainly look to turn down the sensitivity rather than disable it (which didnt turn it off apparantly). Yes, the Tesla site allows non-Tesla cars so will look to...

    Xpower first impressions

    Nope not used one yet (tbf, only used Insta-Volt once and all other times are granny charging) - this is the one tesla supercharger site within range north of Leeds that allows non-Tesla cars so worth a shot...especially at 49p compared to MGF 79p at the supercharger site right next to the...

    How did you manage on your 200 mile round trip? I have a 190 mile round trip tomorrow (first time long distance) so planning to pop to Tesla Harrogate on my way into our Leeds office as its only 10-15 mile from the office. I have been using ACC recently to get used to get used to it prior to...

    How much do you spend on charging?

    Definitely my issue (not drifting!)....had 100% charge last week, drove around 110 miles and was down to 24% yesterday (XPower). I only granny charge so currently on 26p tariff - though I would like to install a driveway and charger within the next 12-18 months. About to enter my meter readings...

    Any performance stats beyond the headline 0-60?

    I've driven ICE cars for the last 15 years (around 10-18 year age) and it was the regenerative braking that I got the hang of very quickly...I LOVE OPD. A few times I have overtaken at 30mph to find myself at around 60mph+ in just an insane short amount of time is like WOW.

    MG4 XPOWER

    100% agree.....I was restless and just wanted to get out for a drive so popped out an hour ago. Havent had much of an opportunity since I got the car so decided to put it in sport mode with the music loud and just drove around the area just to enjoy the car, and boy was it fun! I have owned a...

    Removal of XPower Caliper Covers

    Must definitely be a marmite thing as I love the Orange callipers....really suits the green paint :) (mines a lease so would rather not change anything to it)

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    That could well be the issue - I only drive on dual carriageway when going into work (once a week) and its only a 10 min run but after driving to work today, its certainly a stronger vibration compared to other reports of a slight vibration or a hum. I overtook a few cars today and even at cough...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    Yes this is my first thought too so I am keen to see whether it makes any difference or not. I checked on the MG app earlier today and it looks like they took it for a test run first but even still, its interesting that the brakes are warped considering I only had the car a month (which had 14...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65 to 75mph

    UPDATE: Car was booked in at dealership today to investigate the vibration issue.... they have advised that the brake discs are warped which is causing the issue. They have ordered new brakes but will take around 5-6 weeks for them to be delivered. It seems that warped discs can cause...

    Vanity plates for your MG4

    I took my plates off my BMW prior to getting my XPower and bought a new set of plates with the green badge at the side...now I just need to pay Tusker £50 to transfer to the new car which I will do when I am paid in a couple of weeks.

    Thank you MG, for this glorious XPower

    So I was diagnosed with OCD and social anxiety 15 years ago and I have really struggled with the anxiety part for a few years now, where it has got to a point i'd rarely leave the house...even though I have owned a car since passing my driving test during this period. They have all been old...

    Active sound booster Vroom Vroom!!

    I thought I would miss the engine noise from an ICE car but I really do love the whirl noise from the motors when you put your foot down.

    Something wrong with my XPower - it works

    My brake squeal has disappeared since I started to use them rather than OPD (which I love btw)....bar the vibration over 65+ (booked in MG dealer next week), I dont have any faults, except for the few infotainment glitches.

    BMW drivers vs MG4 xpower - no contest so why bother

    Drove behind a BMW (one of the x models but debadged) today in a 30 zone and they were constantly between 20 - 30 all the way which started to annoy me...saw an opportunity to overtake as the road split into 2 lanes and flew past him and back into the first lane just as I was entering a...
