Totally agree
@Leni16 .... just talking about the frustrations with my better half and she said "Why doesn't someone make an EV without all this flaky tech". Which is a good point, button up most functions and just have a radio / entertainment system screen.
Oh and.... a dealer that actually gives a sh*t about its customers
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the forum!
I can't fault the operating system on my car it works brilliantly, it has not had a single flaky moment in the 7 months I've had the car. The operating system is Google the same as is used in Volvos and polestar's and just works.
If you add into that physical buttons for heating, rear screen, heated seats/steering wheel and LKA then it makes the user experience really simple.
The point I am making is that it is possible to do this but if you are going for a more minimalist approach with less buttons and more functions controlled from a screen (attempting to copy Tesla) then that would seem all the more reason to make the system work.
I know people will say it is fine and I just do x y and z as part of my start up routine but you really should just be able to jump in and go and then if you need to change anything be able to do it simply and safely on the move, like we all used to be able to do in the past.
Again this is not a my car is better than your car post (even though it is?) it is merely to say there are good operating systems out there.
I am also not saying my car is faultless, My car has had a manufacturing issue which they are struggling to rectify, it's pretty frustrating but faults can occur. The issue in no way impacts how the car runs and works and their is no shortage of willing from the dealer/manufacturer to try and fix it which we should all experience if reporting a fault.
How things are dealt with can make or break a car purchase and I think, as been mentioned numerous times, MG are lacking a bit in that department (some very good dealers excepted)
