    First Long Journey

    But is it worth the stress? Plus if you brick the car, it will cost you. I too have an older short range ZS and despite the dealership saying they had made the computer upgrade for compatibility with Tesla, when I went to the Trafford Crntre to test it out, they had lied to/misled me and there...

    What do you think is a long journey?

    You will be mostly running on petrol, so that journey is unremarkable, providing you schedule rest stops or overnights to actually appreciate your surroundings.

    First case of Range Anxiety

    Sometimes you get home and it's pelting down with rain, or you have bags to unload or you need the loo. It's easy to forget or not bother when you have no big travel plans. When I almost bricked my standard range 70 plate ZS, the rudimentary range display went from 9 miles to a disaster flashing...

    Free Tesla supercharger update from MG dealerships

    Update on Tesla fix. Apparently, it's not compatible for a ZS on a 70 plate. The only adaptable model of that vintage is the MG5, and even that requires a metal plate screwed on as well as a software fix. Allegedly. I'm going to leave it now. It would have been nice to have the option, and I...
