Teslas have a 4 year warranty on the whole car and 8 for the battery+motor.

Is this still the case, though? I mean, isn't it that the superchargers are now available to everyone (at least most of them)?

Not having the car, so I cannot share my own experience. From investigating through the web I'd say that the M3 will be more efficient (hence more economical) in general, especially because the Trophy in the UK doesn't have a heat pump while the M3 (if it's from 2021 and later) does. But one...

There should be many metrics, actually, like actual charge/discharge of battery, temperatures, etc. Take a look at all the things people can read from a Tesla. I don't know if you need any help, but if you have any dumps or anything with values to decode, I can probably give you a hand.

Good to know. Have you found anything useful by using the obd2 device? Afaik, there are no known PIDs for the car.

Maybe Bjorn Nyland will bother testing it, then :LOL:

The term "whitelist" was used by me. The point is that the dealer has to ask MG to enable the software update for every specific VIN number (or some other serial code) and then it gets available for the car. Please, keep in mind that this is what one person was told in Germany and what I...

Not sure if relevant, but I saw a video from a German youtuber the other day who had his car in the workshop waiting for an update and he was saying that the dealer communicated to him that every car needs to be whitelisted by MG itself in China before an update is applied. As if it's all a...

Preconditioning the battery on a cold night won't only improve your efficiency, when you drive, and your charging speed, but will also help retain the battery's health. Batteries do not like it when they operate in too cold (or too hot) temperatures, so if you precondition them before a long...

We aren't talking about actual hammers, here. These are lifehammers. They are small and light enough to fit in the door pocket and are specially designed to break the window glass with minimal effort.

I think it's mandatory to have one by law, at least in some countries. I hope people learn how to use them, because there are many cases where the doors cannot be opened whether there is an emergency door release or not.

Although I also think that the car would be much safer if it had manual overrides for the door handles, I don't think you would be able to open the door or the boot if you fall into the water anyway. The best thing to do in such a case is to break the window with the emergency hammer and exit...

Using software also means you can adjust/extend the functionality in the future. I still remember that this was Steve Jobs' initial reasoning for the elimination of buttons from phones when the iPhone was introduced.

You lift the floor, open the magnetic extensions on the side and put it to the upper position.
