TOCWA has a list of people who done the lap a few early model RWD Model 3's I know done it which just over 50kw. https://www.tocwa.org.au/2021/07/07/around-australia-trips-in-a-pure-ev/ Has a MG4 51kw found a link on facebook.. So doable if you plan...

I just had my 2 year service.. I asked for software update for AEB as I knew it is old (Does not save low setting) and hard braked a few times. They did the underbody tray and service said no time for software have to book another day. Also said the AEB module only one out of date. Where I knew...

I followed this have you tried moving the car forward and back to see if it works then?

I looking at either a 24kWh, 32kwWh or 40kWh battery. Difference between 24-40kWh is around AU$4800. Which does not sound much compare to a DC Charger around $6-$7k. I currently have 3 hours free I charge and 3 EV's with 180kWh; I'd like to tap into that if it's worth it. I just crunched...

Just got a couple of quotes in around AU$2400 for 8kW. So yes $7k is 24kWh of dedicated battery. Yes I'd love to use 180kWh of EV although honestly my peak prob 30kWh a day, take out the charging I do in free 3 hours..

Depends on price of the V2G device. Here in OZ we have heaps of Solar during the day and spot electricity prices are negative often. I get 3 hours free 11am-2pm when I charge, although pay 4 cents extra per kWh for the other 21 hours. Lots of people getting batteries now; a few cheap batteries...

Silly you think it be the MG2, although it called MG4 in China. The one we have in OZ (UK, Europe) does not sell well in China they replaced it. I think all cars in China need to have the same blob shape, be front wheel drive and have a big screen to sell :)

I have the 64kWh NMC for MG4 and two LFP Teslas. The Tesla BMS is not great unless you go to 100%. Even scan tools it show battery is 1-2kWh less then it is if you do not charge to 100% often.. Or do a big run and a full charge. Whereas my mate's NMC is solid no matter what charge. So if you...

Yes think you have a newer software. It a mess in OZ everyone on different and no way for end user to compare.

Be great to know what updates for OZ, entertainment I think Excite R05 and others R11. I know mine has different AEB than others as it defaults to medium each drive and does not take low. Due 1st service next month. Also went to the EV show the other week the hatch opened with not much effort...

MG4 not complained.. Both our Teslas I pumped up when the cold hit. Reminds me I better do my son's Impreza with no TPMS :)

no intelligent heating although I have climate which I might use the next cold morning :) Was 2c out today we took the Tesla with heated seats 18.5kw vs 29.8kw Extra power does not worry me really we get 3 hours free electricity a day (11am-2pm) which we fill up the 3 EV's we have. Just...

Just had the heater blasting on the way to drop off my wife at work around 1°C here and MG4 parked outside.. Hit the max 29.8kWh/100km which it never goes over again :) Same trip in summer be like 16-17kWh/100km so yes, be nice heat pump

Yes crazy no heat pump in OZ. MG not the only brand to have none for Australia. Excite here so not heated seats :) Although lucky it not plastic sorry vegan leather and freeze your bum.

My first winter with the MG4 in Melb so colder :) Heater sucks a lot of power it seems as well, performance wise been good. Just using a lot more battery, compared to the Tesla with a heat pump..
