Always liked 40psi in my Hilux and the 38psi in the MG4 is not far off that make given it’s a few hundred Kgs lighter.

262kpa/38psi for me, our -4deg mornings will drop that to 240+ but after a short drive it gets up to 260 pretty soon. I had one rear tyre that seemed to very slowly go down and eventually I had it seen to. Tiny leak from a hole in the tread…fixed, and now perfect. Road trip north to warmer...

Actually my Excite 64 needs a short stab on the accelerator and then plant my foot to get a really good repsponse. In the wet though you have to be careful. Mostly I just get away quickly, and then reach the speed limit and watch them over-egg the situation by barrelling past at well in excess...

Bloody silly to be drag racing in afternoon peak traffic on a suburban artery. Should have known better but MG did ok😂

A black Holden Ute with a bit of grunt (Maloo possibly) stayed with me till I got to 80kmph until thought better of things and let him go. I wasn’t really flooring it but he surprised me into seeing how it would all go. Felt a bit silly after though.

MG9 EV ute to be released, apparently a variant of the LDV ute. Bigger than a Ford Ranger. https://car.expert/3T9rB2D?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExS3VtWllneURaTDdoa3BuegEeIPHaL0JoEP3j3XVOwXkk5-D6DPjKqu2AchqEBUWexdc5v8gIuJrbC36NMOk_aem_ZLy8AIgNde-5OnGXl4HiZQ

Apparently due for release, an MG ute EV https://car.expert/3T9rB2D?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExS3VtWllneURaTDdoa3BuegEeIPHaL0JoEP3j3XVOwXkk5-D6DPjKqu2AchqEBUWexdc5v8gIuJrbC36NMOk_aem_ZLy8AIgNde-5OnGXl4HiZQ

Yes , once got stuck behind a truck that got caught up on the bend with one wheel off the ground. They had to unload the 6 cows he had on board so that the weight distribution allowed them to get it back on four wheels😂

Moss Vale to Nowra via Kangaroo Valley is similar with two descents and a climb…two climbs in reverse though nearly brought me undone trying to get back to Yass. I got to the top of the second climb and hit a head wind that dropped the efficiency but gladly not enough to stop me getting home...

Last time I drove from K-Town to Moss Vale I used 3% of the battery getting to Narellan , such was the regen🙂

Mostly I’d use it to get from 80-100

I will be stopping overnight at most charging places so 100% is doable in needed. We plan to get to Brisbane in a bit under a week.

L ill let you know, but the roads I’m planning to use are not dissimilar to the ones I drive on day to day. I’m well set up for all the major chargers. I’m pretty sure Dubbo at 337km is doable n 100%. I regularly do the run to Bathurst on 60% or a little less and chalked up 387km in a round...

Looking at our first really long trip from Yass to Brisbane via Dubbo, Tamworth etc and then back down the coast before going inland via Katoomba…I’m quite comfortable with the 400-430km range under most conditions so it will be interesting to see the car’s performance since I have moved to...
