Wish mine would stay off. It's somewhat less useful than a chocolate fireguard. Every time I get in the car I turn LKA and that speed limit recognition nonsense off. I have to do it quicky though, otherwise android auto starting up interferes with it. Only car I've ever driven where I have to go...

I have everything set to have minimal impact, everything's on the least intrusive/reactive settings I can find. I had a warning from the car last night when another vehicle in front of me decided to turn off. Seems that if you decide the car in front is getting out of the way and use even the...

Most of my driving is at night. There's no way to tell what those white lights are behind me so I always stick to speed limits and slow down a little going through junctions and lights. I learned caution in my Focus ST, a car that attracted cops like something smelly attracts flies. I still use...

The X Power is ridiculously quick off the line. It seems to almost jump forward as if it's eager to get going. For that first second and a half there's not much that'll keep up with it. The acceleration tails off a little where others keep going which is where, I think, they claw back some time...

Not in my neck of the woods. There's an orange one running around that sticks out like a sore thumb and a couple of nicely understated white ones ;) Not seen any other MG's. Lots of other EV's in MK though.

Driving home in my Tesla through Milton Keynes after it was repaired from collision with a suicidal fox, saw the glare of an orange Trophy waiting at a roundabout. Can't miss them, can you?

It's even worse with Waze. The entire map is blindingly bright until I toggle the headlights off and back on again - not ideal if you're already driving in the middle of the night... I got around the problem by just setting it to always use dark mode. I don't know if it's an AA problem or...

I've never seen one with a charge port on both sides. They all have a flap over the charge port with an identical moulding on the other side, but only one charge port.

The latest (V4) chargers have pretty standard length cables making them more flexible when it comes to charging other cars. The earlier versions were originally Tesla only so they were the right length for Tesla's which all have their charge ports at the rear left.

Heh. Best I've seen zipping around Milton Keynes (roundabout city) in my X Power is 3.6 m/kwh. It's normally around 2.5.

A heat pump made a huge difference to the LEAF with its tiny battery. It's not as much of a deal maker (or breaker) for current EVs.

You'd have to drive as if you had a Faberge egg on your roof to get a good score on those things.

Me? That very day.... I cleared the timer and limit and plugged it in. Just left it there till it stopped taking power. I don't really like letting the charge drop so low so I don't know if that full balancing charge affected the range indication.

When mine reached 9% SoC , the range changed to three dashes. I was only a mile or so from home so I didn't worry - but it's not really a very useful indicator!

Too many potholes and speed bumps in the area I drive in. I'd end up with my head bouncing off the roof...

As a first step, you could try relieving the pressure on the lock by pushing the flap in (gently) while locking/unlocking the car. And once you get it open, give the mechanism a squirt of a silicone based lubricant.

I've turned all the panic settings to minimum in the car, it remembers those settings. Every time I get in to drive it, I turn the annoying LKA and totally worthless speed limit recognition systems off. That makes it quite a nice car to drive. I do see the occasional warning flash up on the...

Put the key on a lanyard. Put it around your neck so it stays with you.

I always try to find Tesla 'open to all' chargers if I need a charge on the MG while I'm away from home, even if it means starting a charge at a higher SoC than I would normally. They just work. They're almost always cheaper than the others as well.

Mine stopped connecting after the update. After fiddling about for a while, I gave up and left it alone for an hour and a half. Then, next time I checked it was mysteriously working again.
