MG5 facelift Review Thread

Hi all, TeslaBjorn started testing the MG5 facelift. I am very curious how the car will perform against his huge dataset of tests! The Banana Box test first:

The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

This picks up and develops a previous thread that was a good idea but never developed. To contribute, you will need to reset your consumption display on the first of the month and post a pic of your Accumulated Total dash display on the last day of that month (or as soon thereafter as possible)...

Sorry, I meant which system? The MG isn't like a Tesla with one unified software release. Each part has its own software and the version numbers aren't easy to discover. The one thing that you can see is the infotainment version number. Mine is a FL so isn't much use to you.

Aha, what I was trying to work out is to see in the context of this Wiki what those component software parts should be at. Particularly with respect to being able to charge on the Tesla charge points.

OK, understood. Unfortunately you can't see if the Tesla update has been done. Even if you use an ODB reader there is no way to tell. A dealer could plug the car in and tell you but that relies on the dealer knowing what you are talking about and that is not guaranteed.
The only way for a non dealer to find out is to install the Tesla app and go and try it. For a pre-FL LR the chances are quite good that it is just a software update.
