No nothing in glove box sadly apart from CoC

So day 2 with X-Power back from the garage and it’s now stuck on my driveway. When I get in, around 20 alerts scroll through the display, everything from abs failure through to every safety system disabled. Eventually it lets me select drive but the parking brake is still on - display says to...

We tried to reject ours due to this vibration issue after 2 days with the new car but the rejection was ‘rejected’ as MG Uk are stating this is a characteristic of the model and does not effect safety, so I suspect you’ll hit the same brick wall. Only option at that point is to get an...

So to update this one, today I collected the car. The dealer had fitted new Michelin tyres and the master technician to me out in a drive in it to show the vibrations were subtly improved (we did this back to back with their X-Power demo which unfortunately did also have bad vibes). Technician...

US already have a 27.5% tariff on Chinese vehicles I believe and there are calls to increase this but assume they also rely on Chinese parts too so will interesting to see how that plays out.

But how long until import tariffs are put in place to ‘protect’ western car manufacturers?

Agree but main stream manufacturers are struggling to make the switch. This month Ford revealed that they have made a substantial loss on every EV they've sold so far so until they can all adjust their business models to suit, I can't see an imminent reduction in EV prices.

So a bit of an update. With my rejection request being binned, I ask for a full run down on what had been tried on our car, before I collect it this Thursday. They have done the following (all in writing via e-mai):- 1. Swapped wheels and tyres from another X-Power - no improvement 2. Fitted 4...

Good luck - I'm sure you'll love it. Picking up our green X-Power on Thursday after a failed rejection attempt due to the vibration issues but looking forward to getting it back none-the-less.

Not from a model Y but 3.5 years and 67k miles in a model 3 SR+ I’m assuming you’ll be looking at the base rwd model Y? So model Y is a bigger car, particularly in boot space but the MG4 is still very practical. The software and Tesla supercharger network is infinitely better so if you...

Surprised me too but figures were from Teslafi which accesses the cars API so believe they are accurate. Certainly experienced a noticeable range loss as time went on so ties in with the figures.

Our Tesla Model 3 SR+ over 3.5 years and 68k miles, lost 13% of its battery capacity, charged most days to 90% (approximately 70% AC charging, 30% rapid DC)

No unfortunately not

Having had lots of experience with this dealer, I’d put money on them not testing it for the vibration at PDI and if you find you have it, they are now towing the MG Uk line that it’s an acceptable‘characteristic’ of the car and so does not warrant a rejection claim. We’re having to accept our...

Further reply from Gary Smart at MG uk (I replied pointing out that their ‘stance’ that this issue effected all x-power vehicles was incorrect, together with some evidence of this, which he strangely ignored) :- Dear James Thank you for your email, and although I do appreciate your...

We purchased our new X-Power from Hendy Poole a month ago and so far, the only good thing was the purchase price. Tried to reject the car as has the bad vibrations (worse then many x-powers) but this has been rejected. Asked for infotainment software update - ignored. It’s a shame as the...

That was mentioned in the article about what the new platform could be capable off (presumably in 4wd guise) but goes on to say this model will be no where near this as only 2wd

Front end looks Tesla model 3, rear Honda civic - middle X-power. What a confusing combo! Only 2wd though so no concerns on the 0-60 lol

Yep totally agree. I've driven three X-powers extensively and only one had the issue - unfortunately for me this was the one I purchased. I also had an e-mail from a sales manager at Howards who stated that of the 10 X-Powers he'd sold, only 1 had the issue. I forwarded this email to Gary Smart...

Yes will do this. If I am going to challenge it though, getting a independent report on the issue is an unavoidable first step though and will form the evidence for the rejection. To be honest I'm not sure I've got the energy to contest this and certainly don't have the time as currently...
