@T1 Terry, interesting that you use the cruise control, I've tended not to use mine so much and let the car slow down on uphill sections of motorways, while watching the power meter and driving the car on the accelerator to keep the power acceptable, of course on downhill sections hopefully...

Well maybe a bit pedestrian, but it would save about 7kWh of consumed energy (about 1/3 less than at 75mph) and in reality only add 6 minutes to the total journey time of 55 mins. Driving style has a lot to do with it too as @T1 Terry says with the impressive acceleration on tap it's easy to...

@bumrar, All the previous responders have given thier experience of ev motoring, and I'd agree with them all. Keeping the efficiency up especially in cold weather is always a challenge. I did a journey similar to yours of motorway, A and B roads totaling 65 miles. My speed on the motorway was...

What battery pack sizes are being offered? In Brazil both spec cars effectively SE and Trophy have a 64kWh LFP battery, while the Xpower has a 64kWh NMC battery. Like the MGS5 the range seems to be higher at 290 miles for the 64kWh battery. Also will they be offering the extended range too, and...

Looking through the tech specs on the same site it looks like both the comfort and luxury spec cars get a 64kWh LFP battery with around 290 miles range, and the X Power has a 64kWh NMC battery with a 251mile range.

I've been so taken aback by the sudden braking, it's not subtle, it's just like 4 pins going into holes on the discs, as T1 Terry can relate to. On the couple of occasions it's happened in mine, I would never have thought to press the accelerator pedal harder.

It's always alarming to see this type of report, whether it refers to an ICE car or an EV, of a runaway car. The Audi brand was nearly wiped out years ago in the US by drivers claiming power surges causing accidents. All the investigations by Audi with the affected Audi 5000 models (200 in...

That's of course what the intelligent battery heating slider is for, but it's then a trade off for the power consumed by the heating as opposed to the increased power for the charge on a fast charge, and speed / power on a rapid charge.

I Charged mine Mine (Trophy LR) to 80%. The temperature was -3 degrees or greater. The display said 170 mls for 80%. Having used the heater function twice from the app to defrost the car the SOC this dropped back to 79% and 168 mls. As a side note, in the old days with halogen headlights the...

Team Grey, and Team Tango at Brooklands last year at the Best of British event.

How does the progression work on the user group ladder, and what are the Trophy points needed for each? I can't seem to find it in the T's and C's. I can see the following Member types, Novice Member Standard Member Established Member Prominent Member Distinguished Member Any I've missed?

I was surprised that the GOM estimate changed so much on my Trophy (LR) from 186mls to 215mls at 88% SOC when I reset the accumulated total on the trip computer at the end of December. This was a months worth of motoring covering 793 miles and a time of 32:38. I'd seen a small difference before...

Just seen this for the first time. What impressed me most was the quietness in the car, and the fact that all the roaring noise was the Porsche in front or the one that overtook the X Power.

Happy new year to everyone. I'm posting my figures for December. I also noted the large recalibration of the GOM. Initial figure based on the months motoring The recalibrated estimate after the accumulated trip distance reset.
