Doesn't really make sense. Why are the two options assumed to be 'be great at five things or bad at one'? Surely the alternatives are 'to aim at greatness at one thing or aim to be adequate at five things'? Seems a bit 'Jack of all trades, master of none.' Though I like that they showed...

That is all to your credit. Hopefully the positivity will spread and crowd out the negativity!

The car should use regen when you apply the brakes where available. If you slam on the brakes then it will need to use the friction brake so supplement the motor braking. In theory lower regeneration should be more efficient, particularly on fast roads. Better to maintain a constant speed than...

Cheers, Gary! Only joking. I must admit we bought ours from Newbury Waylands but have always used Oxford for the servicing and updates.

Agreed. I wonder if the problem is more likely to be that firms want trained staff but don't want to train them themselves (if the staff member will just get poached or set up on their own). Only 50% of people go to University. I think it is good for people to go to University but bad if they...

In the case of dogs, they like to move around and change position. Often they will lie across multiple different seats (they aren't human shaped). Dog is tethered to one of the slots but we leave the others plugged in permanently to stop the chiming.

Oh no, what a nightmare. Trying to fob people off is not good. Though I do wonder if there is just a massive shortage of EV technicians in the country as a lot of dealerships seem to be the same. Nevertheless, you would think they could at least provide an initial investigation and then...

If it has happened at the start of a journey I wonder if it is one of those where the car hasn't gone through its full 'boot-up' sequence. I once managed to confuse the car by locking it, realising I had done a terrible parking job, and quickly unlocking and driving before it had booted up...

Oh, if it is LFP I wouldn't worry at all. As you mentioned they drop off quicker initially but then even out a lot more. It drops more quickly both because LFP does that but also because there is minimal upper buffer (which masks the initial degradation in NMC batteries). I think ours was...

Welcome Francois! Have an MG4 SE which might be different but I can try on one of them... For our dog on the back seat just leave all the belts plugged in so that he does not set off the alarm. That is the 'manual' solution. Hadn't thought that there might be a setting to switch this off!

Can only think "Time is money" - better to plug in somewhere convenient and save time than go somewhere to get an Octopus discount.

Condolences to you (and the pheasant). Can you get it replaced under comprehensive insurance as an 'act of God' ? I've not checked our policy for such things. If so, what is your excess and could it impact future quotes? 🤔 MG4 rear bumper replacement at a body shop wasn't cheap (£1200 but...

Painful on such a new car so I can see why you'd want to get it back to being as new. Is there any damage to the bumper or is it just the paint? Our (My) first scrape with the car we needed a new bumper to get ours back to how it should be (the bumper and bracket were broken as well. Spent a...

Was there any snow around perhaps drifting into view of the camera?

I thought the heat pump was primarily to heat the battery as well as the cabin.
