I completely understand your point, I'm just curious - rather curious - as the car was sold to me with almost 2 years and 4k Kms. I wonder how the battery SOC was when it was stopped for so long (or rather not being driven much but still)

Thanks again. OK, I was expecting something a little more detailed I guess. Regarding OBDs I think I bought the wrong one even though I saw bjorn using it in his tests/review. Do you happen to use one yourself and if so which one? Thanks again!

Hi! Thanks for replying. Yes I typically get one similar to that. I mean a specific sheet for the SOH test I'll be asking. Not just "yeah your battery's fine" sort of answer.

Hi everyone! My ZS will be going into the shop soon and I'd like to ask them for an HV battery SOH/report. I'd like to give them an example of what a proper report looks like, from an official MG dealer/service center (they are one as well). I don't want to pick up the car by the end of the day...

My biggest gripe with the car. My humble opinion: didn't bother to rewrite the ACC software for EVs. Gas powered cars use brakes, and they did the same for the EV version.

One simple thing: have cruise control reduce speed via regen instead of friction brakes. In essence change a few lines of code that came from the ICE platform. That’s it, a better electric car right there.

Yeah that black screen happens to me too. I quickly reconnect the dongle and it usually works. I have the latest updates on the car afaik (had the car in the shop for updates a couple of weeks ago).

Can anyone share this letter with me? I just paid around €100 at the local dealership for the updates so that would be very welcome.

Well, get back there and make sure they tell you your car has all the updates so far. It makes no sense for one to pick up a car in March 2024 and not have all the previous updates installed.

Hi! My best advice: ignore the GOM fully - we call it Guess-O-Meter for a reason ;) Try and understand how many miles/km you do with 1% and take it from there. Or use 2km for every 1% and you should be fine. The only I look at the GOM is after charging to 100% for any reason and I can see how...

(Getting waaay off topic but I’ll bite) what? You can have manual updates both on your computer and phone. My computer does not update anything without me clicking on said updates be it apps, OS or firmware. On my phone I have auto updates for apps but system is manual update only. So I can and...

Is that by actual, first hand experience? BTW I can see what gets updated in my laptop and phone (firmware, system, drivers, apps, you name it).

@Miles Roberts CG ia there some kind of internal, European memo from MG you can point to? I’m from Portugal and I don’t think it’ll fly if I tell them “yeah they’re doing this in the uk”??

As for how basic it is, nothing like test driving one at your local dealer. What may be a given to you may be a. Ice extra to another person so all those subjective issues are best if experienced first person. Depreciation: visit some websites for used cars to get a feel for it in your...

Always remember: the internet is a negative experience echo and amplyfing chamber. Everyone comes here looking for solutions because they have a problem. Seldomly one comes here and goes “everything alright today! See you tomorrow!” So don’t worry, lots of people who will not post are happy...
