So what are people doing about it if it's inevitable? Is the only choice swap to different rims?

My 72 plate has this on all its wheels - very annoying!

I was initially confused when finding mine. I found putting the selfie mode on my phone as a mirror worked well

I've not had this update so my car does let me switch to KERS 3 at 100% SOC, but I never worry about it because it barely does any regen by itself anyway until a lower percentage, presumably limited by the BMS, so I doubt there was ever a problem with damaging the battery significantly. I...

I got a tall numberplate to cover my screws, although I had to remove the MG5 badge in the process. Can't decide if I can be bothered putting it back on or not. Either way it looks so much better without the bar

I thought they had LFP batteries whereas the long range had NMC?

The answer on the cable depends on whether you're talking about FL or PFL, although my own decision was made by not ever wanting to buy another one, so I'd say 3ph 32A (22kW) is the best for future proofing purposes either way. I believe that PFL is limited to 1ph 32A and the FL to 1ph 32A...

Was going to ask how you got rid of the black bar so smoothly, but I see it's still there just blending in. Black makes for a good choice to hide it!

Where does this "range" come from? The expected range given by the car on the "guessometer"? I would imagine this is taking into account your recent efficiency, so have a look at resetting your total and see what you're doing. This figure suggests about 2.5mi/kWh for a 100% healthy battery...

You'll also need a compatible ODB II dongle. Searching the forum will bring up some recommendations

This will give a strange result without taking into consideration charging losses, unless anyone knows exactly how to work them out

This was down at 3 mi/kWh for half the month, gosh it was cold.

First thing to understand is phases. Basically you can either have one or three wires in the cable powering the car where one wire is single phase (1ph) and three wires is three phase (3ph). You are highly unlikely to have three phase at home. The current/amperage that a cable supports is per...

Mine shows 13.8V when the headlights are on and 14.1V when they're off. I think i heard that there's an update that brings both voltages higher.

Has that been seen when charging at 10A or less? I've seen that with my 32A charger certainly, but I've not noticed it when charging slowly, and I wonder if it even makes sense to use all the available power to heat the battery pack
