    What colour did you choose?

    I went with Orange, but I really wish I'd gone for blue. It's gorgeous. The orange was a 1 week wait and the blue was 12 weeks and my impatience won...

    Fully Charged drives the MG Cyberster

    Looks amazing. Way more sporty than I expected. £30,000 in China. Likely to be £50k+ for UK. 77kWh battery or 64kWh battery. 0 - 60mph in 4.6 seconds for the single motor version.

    Positive Vibes for the MG4

    I managed this. The auto high-beam came on while driving towards a parked police car. In my panic to not blind them I managed to turn all my lights off entirely. They must have thought I was mad. But... seeing as this is a positive thread... I am loving my MG4, had it since June. I'm not sure...

    The MG4 SE 1100R33 Infotainment Thread

    Losing camera view on the left hand star is uh, shitty. I use that all the time for parking. Please tell me there's an easy way to open it. Unless the MG4 SE doesn't have that? Also, have they fixed the issue where using the Speed Limiter setting turns back to 'Off' when the car turns off?

    MG4 Intelligent battery heating on SE?

    Resurrecting this thread as we're now headed into the colder months... What makes this Intelligent? how does it know when to heat? A Tesla would use the satnav but the MG4 won't. I am completely baffled as to how this decides when to sacrifice battery% to heat the battery.

    MG4 EV 51kWh Traffic Efficiency

    I've definitely noticed a big drop now we're in colder weather. I seem to get 3mi/kwh and the GOM says about 200miles max. Definitely a shocking drop and we're not even that cold yet. A bit worrying! I drive with ACC a lot though. But drove 70 miles at 11pm the other night, no one else on the...

    How do people cope with no rear wiper?

    I previously had a Honda Civic which also had no rear wiper... I don't miss it.

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    I really enjoy waving at fellow orange MG4s and getting a wave back. Have only seen 4 so far.

    New to Android Auto - any tips?

    As a note on this, in the Auto settings on your phone you can hide/show apps to not show in the list. If you're like me you don't want a huge list to try and read while driving.

    MG4 some basic (I hope!) questions....

    For the charger, I went with the Myenergi Zappi. It talks to the solar and will pull from that if it's available. Octopus can install that for you. As a bonus, using their API I can pull in all my house stats (grid, solar, car kWh) and put it into home assistant. The whole family of Myenergi...

    Basic charging.

    In my experience yes. I do the following: Get out of the car, leave it unlocked Plug in the charger (it doesn't start immediately until the charger reaches its own schedule) Lock the car Walk away Then my car is fully charged by the morning. I unlock the car to release the charger. Hope...

    Solar charging

    That's wild, I get 18.72 p/kWh for generation at best. Crazy! I'm definitely on a FIT tariff. Maybe I need to swap from EON and see if someone else would give me a better deal.
