Food for thought m8.
Not everyone wants "devastating performance" and the Teslas efficiency is very attractive.
I used to see 4.5 mpkwh regularly, without any effort on my part.
It was also plenty quick enough in the real world.
I think you have got to 'really want' an X Power to buy one.
Once I had test driven one.......
I really wanted it ????
Edit
And yes of course, it can be driven sensibly, day to day.
It's probably 99% percent of my driving.
There's just something very appealing to me, knowing what you have got available under your right foot, should you require it.
Many thanks for the replies - really good to hear from someone who has come from a Tesla and I totally agree with everything you’ve said.
Yeah the reduced efficiency is a concern the Tesla would return 4+ miles/kWh at 80 (obviously only on a private test track) all day long. It is surprising that with a ground up EV design like the MG4 that they’ve managed to make it so inefficient (and that applies to the whole range not just the XP).
There are far more negatives coming from a Tesla to the MG4 than positives but have our eyes open and think we need the performance the XP provides to make up for these
