I’m pretty sure i’m on the latest software. But roads where i live mean it will never work properly I think. I’d like MG to change the behaviour of the steering wheel acc button - make it so long press turns LKA off when ACC is not active.

Thought I’d do a quick LKA guide for beginners 1] you will feel a nudge of the wheel, maybe a beep 2] yell “F YOU CAR” loudly 3] lean over and fumble with the touch screen while driving poorly 4] curse yourself for not remembering to turn it off before you left 5] curse MG for making it so the...

“…especially as it is brakes” 🤣. Nothing in stock covers affects braking, if anything having covers would prevent heat dissipating and make braking worse Edit: but if we’re talking about aftermarket covers that work differently then 🤷‍♂️

I suspect it's a software nanny to prevent unskilled owners from sending their cars sideways into shrubberies. But … I bought a car with 600 Nm and 4 wheel drive for a reason. Instead of letting me use it, the car does the exact opposite- it hobbles itself. I’ve got one place in particular where...

Yeah - this behaviour is frustrating. Car sees a truck coming with lights up high (or whatever it is that triggers it), seems to get confused /scared, and slows down … silly car …

Yup, it detects the wheels starting to spin so cuts the power, even if TC is Off. So TC is never really Off fully

When we choose traction control off, turn it off Its dangerous when im pulling out onto the highway on a blind corner, for the car to completely lose power when traction control is turned off and the wheels spin. There is a special place in hell for whichever engineer was responsible for that

LKA doesn’t work for a lot of us Some suggestions; -ignore the regulators etc - give us a 4 star car that doesn’t force LKA on at start up -change the function of the wheel ACC button. When ACC is off, make long press disable LKA -remove the confirm step on the touch screen

I’ve got a mate with one of those. Hmm .. i just assumed I’d best him

Yup, I’ll rise my hand to that. I went for the cheaper tire, because I figured the more expensive “special ev” tire was just marketing, or insignificant in terms of range. I was wrong I think. That said - I wasn't happy with the durability of the bridgestone tire. Keen to hear of others...

Not interested in the vibes, dont have them

And new tires every 15,000km’s ….

Oooohhh ….

I thought this thread might be useful for people to post their experiences with different STOCK size tires for the XPOWER My car (NZ) came with Bridgestone Turanza EV tires. After 30,000km i noticed big chunks of rubber coming out of the tires, even though there was 6-8 mm tread left. Ive had...

Ive bought myself a radar detector. This car is just a bit dangerous without one if you dont have amazingly extreme levels of self control
