I'm fairly sure that you are going to need a dealer visit - you've tried a hard reset. If you want to do some more troubleshooting then it would be interesting to see if a DC charge would now work. It would also be interesting to see if V2L was still working because it sounds like the problem is...

It probably hasn't had the Tesla update done and I doubt that you would be able to update it as it is the standard range model. No harm in trying once you get it though. As others have said, charge the car while you are doing something else. Find a supermarket you like that has a bunch of...

I'm fairly sure my FL Trophy doesn't do that. I suppose its possible that the feed is interrupted for a moment but it definitely doesn't need to be switched back on. I run an single induction hob, a kettle, and occasionally the Ninja Pizza Oven. (not all at the same time - the pizza oven is...

I think that it will sort itself out but will take a few days. I seem to remember people saying that when you force the unbind it tries to contact the current bound user giving them an opportunity to reject the unbinding. As the current user is you - there probably wont be an objection.

The adaptor locks itself in place like the charging cable. I haven't used mine in the rain but I have left it plugged in for a couple of days while camping last year.

I'd get and extension for so you can keep in cool on the road but switch to V2L once you are there. The car is quite good at looking after itself when using V2L but I'm not so sure that it will handle the 12V so well when parked up.

I don't know if we should call it a normal but it is the first thing my dealer will try if there is anything wrong with the car. I've only had it done once in 2 and a bit years but my dealer suggested I do it myself if anything odd happens again. Also worth noting - when the car is in that bad...

It might just be me, but I think the Ioniq 6 is a very good looking car. I hope it drives as well as it looks.

Quite unlikely for an MG5 - It doesn't have the hardware it would need.

Take a look at the James Coates videos on line - they run a fleet of MG5s and haven't had any trouble with range loss. My impression, from what I've seen on here, is that the SR does not suffer quite as badly in the cold weather. If you have overnight charging on your long trip then I think the...

I've done this as well - It is great for turning on the 360 but also great for turning it off when you need to check the google maps quickly but the car is showing the cameras.

12.1V on the app is a bit low but not too worrying but regularly getting the "avoid parking" message would worry me. It is possible that the 12V battery has a fault and, as fault finding procedures go, replacing the 12V is cheaper than a lot of other things you could do. One possibility is that...

Definitely not normal. It is possible that they replaced the filter and got something stuck behind it that is catching the fan. Does the sound seem like it is coming from behind the glove box? Either way I'd take it back and get them to have a listen.

It isn't strictly necessary but it seems to really cut down the number of error messages you get in the first few miles after the reset.

A warning for those traveling through France - apparently they take a dim view of number plates not attached with screws, weird.
