    Cleaning the chrome trim.

    That line about WD40 nmade me think that the stain might not be something ON the trim but something missing from the trim: Its protective top layer (maybe eaten away by aggressive cleaners, solvent, bird poo, whatever). If this is the case, try a car wax or something like ACF-50 to see whether...

    Optimistic range estimation.

    6.8 by the e-Up! is really impressive, I love that. I never liked SUVs, they always were to me an is logical, oversize of a problem we already have. So many huge 3 ton heavy gas guzzlers with only 1 person in them. If we would have forbidden SUVs (not that I would want to live in a world that is...

    Last of the cheap EVs ?

    With the current inflation, hence devaluation of the pound, the possible trade war with EU because of the breaking up of Bozo's Ready Made Deal (so is that now "let's Brexit get undone"?), the war in Ukraine and a collapse of public services, car prices will go up much, much more than now. We...

    Optimistic range estimation.

    4.7 mike's per kWh is pretty impressive. My driving will almost always include some motorway, das A-road etc.. But so far I am extremely happy with this car. Just love it.

    Now that it is warmer, the batteries work better. But, over 290 miles is a tad optimistic I'd say 😁

    Speed Limit Sign Recognition

    As all other driving aids, the speed recognition display should only be fonan assistance, not to be relied on. It gets it wrong often enough and the driver is the one who should keep his/her eyes open enough and brain switched on to know what maximum speed is applicable. Both the Google Maps...

    Battery percentage increasing after charging

    Circumstances like temperature can change from the time you last charged or parked up. These and current use have an influence on the range estimation. We shouldn't forget that it is just an estimator of your range and not a hard fact.

    Longest motorway stint in the MG5LR?

    That's great, first time experience is always handy. I have my 5LR since February but longest journey was from near Derby to Manchester and back. That's no problem at all, I think one could do that twice. But, coming Saturday I'll go down to Deal in Kent, that's a 241 miles door to door...

    Using granny charger at holiday let

    It's just common decency/honesty or also the simple rule of life: "Don't be an a*hole!" If I was to rent out, I would appreciate if the customers are honest. After all you are paying for your stay, not for your journey back and local transport! So, not saying anything would actually be...
