I don't understand either. But it's a personal thing.

Most of these will have an EVCC that won't support Tesla supercharging. Make sure that it has had the "comfort" software/firmware updates, as the original software apparently had bings and bongs galore, as well as many glitches. It doesn't have a facility for charging to 80%, at least the...

The MG4 commonly has rattles from the boot, although something rolling might be different. Forr example, this post says "adjusting the rubber bump stops on the side of the hatch opening can help."

You might have read about it on the Australian Electric Vehicle Association forum: https://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?t=9556

No. But I did have the 12 V battery die while the car was parked in my carport. There was a related trouble code, U1563(16), "The battery voltage less than 9V is detected" (along with a dozen others; they all cleared). My guess is that there is some sort of firmware glitch that occasionally...

Yes, they neglected to reset the service counter. It's in the engineering menu, if you want to do it yourself, and chase down the secret sequence to get into that menu. The worry is of course what else did they overlook or forget?

I don't think so. I assume that the EVSE doesn't care about balance. Though I suppose it has to be aware of the power delivered by each phase, as it has to debit the account accurately (accurate charge for the charge, so to speak).

I assume you mean DC rapid charging kept you going. Did it suddenly stop AC charging, or did it never AC charge from new?

Moderators can see deleted posts, and I don't see any in this thread. Any image hosting site should be ok. It's the other kinds of links, especially to web pages, that we need to be able to check easily. But image hosting sites have a terrible record of losing the images after a short time...

Did you mean 11kW instead of 22kW? If you are only getting 3.4kW from a 22kW AC "charger", then you could have a 16A cable. For a car with a 7kW charger, you should have a 32A cable. Hopefully that is what was supplied. Edit: To check your cable's current capacity, see for example this post...

Thunderstorm yet again.

Huh. I don't drive much at night where high beam is appropriate, but the few times I have, auto high beam has worked quite well. Mine is a 2024 extended range (LR here). It may be a firmware thing; I found that most of the things people complain about with firmware are not a problem on mine...

Oops, Mia Culpa! Is 19C some sort of area code then? I'll admit that I really had no idea what you meant. I'll put it back. Edit: Or is this a reference to British legislation?

I wonder if it's doing dead reckoning for some reason, like the navigation antenna isn't connected properly. Some models had a problem that with dead reckoning turned on, the navigation would freeze and the map would not change at all. A software update fixed it, but disabling dead reckoning...

Maybe it depends on firmware, but my MG4 extended range (LR here) starts the air conditioning as soon as "bum on seat" is detected (I always leave the HVAC on). That requires the HV battery, so the contactors are on, and the 12 V battery is being charged by the DC-DC. I can see at least 13.8 V...
