There is no evidence of the HV battery catching fire in any of these photos. In fact the base of both cars is about the only part still in one piece other than the steel sheet metal body and other metal parts. All modern cars have a huge amount of combustible material in them, mostly from...

I used to work on a simple rule of thumb that a car halved its value every 3 years but it isn't linear as the most depreciation happens in the first year. So a $50,000 car will lose $10k to $15k (in the first year at a normal mileage of say 20,000km (12,500 miles) a year or less & be worth 25k...

Dunno if it is the same on the Cyberster but on the MG4 a long press on the Infotainment Home button reboots the system.

Thanks for a really good summary of your trip & stressful issues. I don't make many long trips but my first was quite memorable. It was back in October 2023 when the car was a month old. I live in Corindi Beach, just North of Coffs Harbour & had to go to Noosa for an AGM of Body Corporate of...

All modern cars be they ICE or EV have numerous micro processors that manage multiple functions. In an EV the 12 volt battery is charged from the high voltage battery & not from an alternator via a voltage regulator and rectifier. The systems need to talk to one another in an EV to ensure the 12...

How many Cybersters can you buy for the cost of one Lamborghini?

Yes the next service information is just a countdown to 40,000km but if you have less than 40,000km on the clock 2 years from the car being delivered to you and on the road, that is when the first service is due.

I told a furphy. It is not available yet but they are working on it for Infotainment updates only. (See Neeravs link above). If you go to the system menu and select infotainment update it will ask for a password but none work. The system has been created to allow it but at this stage it isn't...

My car (June 23 build) is on Infotainment version R04 & everything works fine as far as I am concerned. There is an OTA update now available for the Satnav system that can program in chargers when creating a trip but I am not bothered about this anyway as 1. I don't go in many long trips and 2...

Looks like a beautiful spot. Just a bit difficult getting the MG4 down the steps to the beach.

I do a 100% charge monthly or in reality when I remember. I have noted it does take longer if there has been a longer period of time between 100% balance charges. I charge normally to 80% once or twice a week & the balance charge is quite short but the last one to 100% took a bout 40 minutes.

Autohold is a setting that you have to turn on or the A will never turn green. It is detailed in the Starting & Driving section of the manual. I have it on by default as it is an excellent feature. When Autohold is set and you brake to a stop, press the brake pedal a bit harder & the Autohold...

What should they deliver? Superchargers by definition I think should be at least 150kW & up to 350kW. I have only used Evie superchargers & they were rated at 350kW & the MG was at its peak of 140kW when I plugged in with about 30% battery left.

No you don't have to switch scheduled charging off at all. Plug the cable in, and in the iSmart App (or on the Charging section of the Infotainment screen) tap start charging, that's it.

I hadn't noticed at all but I just checked & my Essence 64 doesn't have a drivers side grab handle. It was built in June 2024. I can see it would be handy for those who struggle to get in.

I've only ever purchased 3 new vehicles though had a number of new company cars. I have never had cause to go back about any fault (until the MG) so can't comment on that sort of service. I have had one recall for my 2012 Mitsubishi which took them just a few minutes & got the MG4 Undertray...

I made a query via their on-line chat way back and the chatbot (or maybe it was a person) said they would get back to me. No response.

Given that the MG4 was released in Australia in August 2023, the first scheduled service for the first on the road would be August this Year. Mine will be due on 14th of September. LKA mods will be welcome but I have learned to live with what I've got & I drive more accurately on 110 kmh...

The MG4 will automatically run a balance charge if the level is set anywhere between 60% and 100%. You do not have to run a specific balance charge & anyway there is no option to do this. LFP models (51kWh battery) can be charged to 100% continuously without issue. NMC models (all the rest)...
