    MG4 - How do I turn it off..?

    So there is a simple swipe down off option possibly, good everyone’s happy. If only they would offer a proper round steering wheel option now.

    MG4 - How do I turn it off..?

    Why do you not just power the car down as i described earlier as you knew, takes seconds. If it is dark you can kill the main lights on the toggle on the stalk or as mentioned just lock car and unlock again to access it as it will not power on until brake pedal pressed. The model 3 had a few...

    MG4 - How do I turn it off..?

    Yes that refers to the swipe down screen off only, i am referring to how to turn the car fully off to sit in it, wait , offload etc without lights etc on.

    There is a full power off as mentioned above, go to vehicle/ safety/ power off. Exited car, drl off car still open, everything shut down. Sit on drivers seat and press brake pedal to wake up again.

    Xpower Insurance

    Generally my quotes have been a bit more competitive than last year, pretty happy with the one i have gone for, the cheapest was £331.

    Xpower Insurance

    Just renewed mine for £366 decent enough policy with Ageas. Tesco were next best.

    Battery Balancing

    BMS balances regardless, cell delta constantly managed, you can see this real time on the Leaf for example when running Leaf spy. Had my MG4 for 1 year and only charged it to 100% once in all that time, cell delta is fine.

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    Yes i agree, the chill mode on the Tesla was IMHO not as nice as eco on the X Power. The whole Tesla driving experience was very clinical where as the MG has some feel and feedback to it, especially when pushed. Had some Maserati in front of me the other day, loads of noise and high rev changes...

    Cars you’ve smoked ?

    Front motor still kicks in in eco at times, anything but very gentle acceleration, especially around bends and some gradients, visible on the power usage screen, well it does on UK ones anyway.

    Here is a brand new one, finance is a bit better, it is one of the cheaper ones listed. £320 a month with a £2700 deposit, Your 5k deposit should drop the monthly a good bit...

    I suppose it depends how much the car is overall, nice low milage on that one. For reference Your 5k deposit gets you a 25 Plate one for £280 pcm, not a good finance deal so easy to beat...

    I assume that is PCP as leases are high at moment if you can even get one.

    Same from me, had mine a year, no problems, i do get a bit of resonance sometimes at the problem speed zone but it does not bother me overly, car is great and performance is mental.

    In praise of my XPower

    I would probably have another MG but i would never have another Tesla, if you want a company that is up it’s own arse then good luck dealing with them.
