I've gone back to petrol after getting trapped inside my electric car for 45mins
A DRIVER went back to a petrol car after getting trapped in his new electric motor — blocking a busy street for 45 minutes. Mark Vincent had only been driving his MG4 for three weeks when it sudden…www.thesun.co.uk

Especially annoying since this fault isn't even EV related.Well that’s it now the papers have gotten hold of it sales could well go downhill it has happen in the past with other makes and models once a problem hits the tabloids and the anti EV folk will love milking this.

Exactly any car with an electronic smart key system can be affected.Especially annoying since this fault isn't even EV related.
Or they could start treating customer problems more seriously and be more thorough with testing and communication.MG Motors UK could force a redaction as they specifically attributes it to EVs but depends on how much they're phased by it.
I'm unsure how that relates to the sun implying this is an EV specific issueOr they could start treating customer problems more seriously and be more thorough with testing and communication.
It relates to the specific point I quoted. They could go after newspapers forcing redactions or they could just address the issue.I'm unsure how that relates to the sun implying this is an EV specific issue
The issue I stated that they could force a redaction on is that this is an EV specific issueIt relates to the specific point I quoted. They could go after newspapers forcing redactions or they could just address the issue.
So? The actual issue is a customer was left locked in a car (regardless of its type). I'm sure they don't really care at that point whether it has a combustion engine or not.The issue I stated that they could force a redaction on is that this is an EV specific issue
They'd care very much if it impacts all EV sales, and I never commented regarding the fact the customer was locked in.So? The actual issue is a customer was left locked in a car (regardless of its type). I'm sure they don't really care at that point whether it has a combustion engine or not.
I have not done any such thing and I am unsure why you have taken offence at what I said. You said that MG could force a redaction from the newspaper because it wasn't an EV specific issue. I simply commented that would seem to be a bad use of time when they could address the issues that led to one of their customers feeling it was necessary to go to a newspaper.It's yourself who has taken a comment out of context and applied a whole new one to it
Newspaper did you say? More like printed toilet paper. I’m surprised they did not have a scantily clad young lady draped across the bonnet.TIt is The Sun ‘newspaper’ after all.
I've taken no offence, and it does look like MG have started to address it they have a fix and have issued a non-dvsa mandated recall to rectify the issue.I have not done any such thing and I am unsure why you have taken offence at what I said.

I think we both agree that the fact it is an EV is irrelevant and The Sun seems to have an agenda with the article but that is not the point I was making when replying to your comment. I'm sorry if it was misinterpreted.
One thing I don’t understand is the article was printed yesterday and yet the driver says he has got a refund and a different car? This must have happened weeks ago - long before any software was even made.Just posted on Facebook
