If they do I'll be demanding to see the manager...

Maybe a bit of cost cutting showing its ugly face. Charge level doesn't affect power delivery in all EV's. The only thing that seems to affect my performance model Tesla is the battery temperature. When it's hot, after supercharging, the thing takes off like a scalded cat. I'm still very happy...

Have to wonder if this is anything more than dealerships hanging on to their traditional way of working. ICE's have regular services mainly to change fluids. EV's don't have much that needs changing. I've had my Tesla for nearly two years. It'll tell me when it wants a service, so far not a peep...

That's true but I only have two buttons and I already have them set for other tasks - I use the left button to toggle the cameras on and off and the right one for the driving mode. It seems to me that as the number of functions goes up, the number of controls we get to interact with them goes down.

That's easy to do quickly on a car with a regen level controlled via a switch or paddle on the steering wheel. Not quite so easy on my MG4 with it buried in a menu accessible via the touchscreen and not possible at all on the Tesla. Sometimes I think we're going backwards, taking far too much...

Be careful if you're travelling westbound on Chaffron Way in Milton Keynes today. Some <insert favourite expletive here> has dumped diesel on every roundabout. Sometimes I wish I could punch people I can't see...

If you don't want to use a hose attached to a tap, you can use a portable battery powered pressure washer with a hose fed from a bucket. They're nowhere near as good as the mains powered ones of course, but one of those can work well enough for most people if the car isn't too dirty. And they're...

Whenever I'm asked if I want my car cleaned I ALWAYS say no. Probably be just about ok on a light coloured car but darker paint shows all the swirls and scratches they put on the things. What I've learned over the years is that "it's not their car, they don't care."

Speed limit recognition on my XPower is completely useless. It has no concept of national speed limits, that's 90% of the roads in my area. I turn it off every time I get in the car and rely on actually knowing what the limit is (!) and Waze which is almost always right - so we know it can be...

Mine's the same. Just a very slight tingle staring around 60-65. I have to be on an unusually smooth road to feel it though, it's usually masked by all the vibration caused by our appalling road surfaces. Far worse than that is the dodgy OEM tyres. They're ok in the dry but the car squirms all...

It's a bit flakey to say the least. My MG is sitting on the drive. The app shows it as 4 metres away but it's still slow to refresh, nearly always takes a couple of attempts to do anything. It's not the MG's strong point, that's for sure.

Seems that if the contents of the userid field changes, it assumes you're a new owner instead of telling you that the login is invalid but instead of telling you that, it just goes to the vehicle bind screen...

I really HATE this iSmart app. Tried to use it this morning and it's decided that the token has expired and I need to log in again, it also wants me to rebind to the car. Who thought of this nonsense? --edit-- Ok, the rebind demand was because it messed up the userid field and decided I was a...

I always have my XPower in Custom - sport for the power, heaviest setting for the steering which is still far too light and a standard setting for the brakes which are too grabby in sport (you only need to glance at the brake pedal and it stands the car on its nose). If I'd wanted range I...

Think earlier cars had the issue in spades. Later ones, seem clear or very much reduced. Mine was built around March 2024 and seems to be relatively free of the issue - just a barely perceptible tingle starting about 65mph. I don't notice it unless I'm on a particularly smooth bit of road -...

In general, people seem to really like the car but aren't too impressed with the dealers. I haven't had any interactions with the dealers yet, apart from the one I bought the car from so I can't really judge. They're all efficient when it comes to selling...

I found the MG remarkably uncomfortable. Took me ages to get the seat and wheel in a position where I didn't feel as if I was contorting to both be relaxed and able see see whare I was going. It's still not perfect and I wonder if they designed it for drivers with different proportions to most...

Checked it specifically again today. Got in and checked the screen, OPD on. Pressed the brake pedal, OPD still on. Switched to custom mode as is my custom (ahem), OPD still on. If yours doesn't do this, I'd better not let a dealer anywhere near it!

Hmm. That must depend on the model. My XPower remembers the OPD setting. The only thing that cancels it is accidentally activating snow mode (!) I always use it on my MG, for consistency, because my Tesla has OPD which can't be disabled. I quite like it, actually. Once I got used to OPD I...
