You dont have any USB thumbdrive installed by any chance ? My best guess is that the message is just bad Chinese translation and should be something like "Failed to recognice U disc". If you dont have any, installed my guess is that the internal flash has developed a problem.

That does not seem to work. I tried making an account and all it said was "Enter a valid UK mobile phone number." "Enter a valid UK postcode." If you have to be a UK resident, it's not going to work for me unfortunately, as i am from Denmark. Yeah i agree, i very rarely have to adjust...

I totally agree, the Charging network is BY FAR the biggest plus, compared to any other EV. I only had the MG ZS EV for 4 months but had the chance to charge at different public chargers. Here there are "plenty" if you talk about distance between them, but they are shared among all EV's Most...

When i got the ZS EV i bought a cheap charger with variable amps (6-8-10-13-16) because i needed to be able to cap the current because i have solar and i can only deliver max 3600 watts to the grid, so anything above 3600 watts i pay for. Car was totalled, and i ended up getting a Tesla...

Yes, this is Denmark I compare the MG4 "luxury" to a Standard Range Tesla Model 3. The Luxury MG4 has a range comparable to the Standard range Tesla Model 3. There is a cheaper MG4, but it has a smaller battery, and less range. The MG4 cost 293.999 DKK (£34.559) The Tesla Model 3 SR cost...

Cant remember where, but there is some menu, where it asks you for a "pin" to continue. I would imagine that this pin is what protects the service menu Never saw anyone figuring out the code, but i would imagine this is because MG has never made a OTA update. If they released an OTA update...

To be honest i was surprised how good it is at holding the distance. It is pretty responsive. If the car in front slows down for a red traffic light, it breaks a bit later than i would like, but it easily stops in time, and it has rather strong regenerative braking, and blends the friction...

Yes, i know what you mean, and it's not, that there is nothing to dislike about him, he is quite the character, i dont particularly love the guy myself, but i do honestly think they make quite decent cars. Some of the benefits of the Tesla as a car that i have found, compared to the MG *...

I know the feeling Ordered a (Replacement for a totalled) MG ZS EV in the first week of August last year, the website said "Estimated delivery 9-12 months" but when the contract came it was dated exactly 1 year after the order date, so already there, they took it to the max limit. In January...

As always, most programmers use a bit of artistic freedom to interpret the standards. Sometimes they apply "fixes" to the controlling firmware, this is known as "hacks" to make something compatible with something that is not. If you look back, you will see that a year ago, more than a few ZS...

Goes to show that people like to be punished. When you tax the 10% that makes the most money very hard, to be able to take this money and give to someone that does make as much, you take away the incentive for the 10% to work harder, but you get 90% that feels better, because they got "free...

Yeah, now i got the Tesla and it does this also, even though i only got it yesterday, it already feels pretty natural to only use one pedal for almost 100% of the driving. My guess is that the Mk3 will have both One Pedal Driving with Regenerative braking on ACC, and probably also heatpump for...

When i had the ZS EV, i tended to drive with the ACC on, but whenever i came near a traffic light or somewhere i knew i would have to slow down to make a turn, i would disengage the ACC and let the car do regenerative braking. Was a bit of a faff, having to manually enter and exit ACC to...

Great find, with Android Auto, a cable is not always just a cable. On a previous (Vauxhall) the car was VERY picky with, what cable could be used. I had several cables that worked fine, but as soon as they had been bent or the plug got the least bit lose they would refuse to work or they would...

I agree, as i have said before. If dealing with Chinese manufacturers "CAN" does far from always mean "WILL" :) I am sad that the delivery time on my replacement MG ZS EV was so long, that we decided to cancel our order and buy a Tesla, after the lowered the price, because i loved the ZS EV...
