Martin Lewis has tips for getting cheaper insurance https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/car-insurance/ and his live show on ITV last week was all about insurance https://www.itv.com/watch/the-martin-lewis-money-show-live/2a1827

Stellantis cars also have the proximity unlock.lock feature, apparently really annoying when you are doing a car review video :LOL:

Also check if the type 2 cable can handle more than 7kW as this was a max for a lot of MG4 and if you are moving to an EV that can handle 11kW and 22kW it might be worth replacing the cable anyway.

Not sure if this will be the UK spec but here is a couple of walk around and interior view of the Chinese varient of the Urban and NCAP seeing how well they do in a crash

Still some good lease deals around, under £250 a month for a Smart Brabus (similar spec to an XPower) and you deal with a Mercedes dealership https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/smart/1/366787/car-deal-day-extra-spicy-smart-1-brabus-yours-super-cool-ps226-month

If only there was a BOT exterminator...what might that look like?

Ask the dealer if you can turn on the screens of any other models(of the same spec) they have on their forecourt) this will show them something is not right and needs fixing (unless of course all the other models have the same display layout)

Only had it once at a faulty charger that kept taking pre payments and not charging the car. In the end it was a random combination of locking/unlocking and using the stop charging button in the car that allowed it to release (might also have been the charger doing something)

Have they tried pre conditioning the battery to see if that makes a difference?
