Worth getting the Tesla app and checking beforehand. If an open to all Tesla supercharger station becomes so busy with non Teslas that it causes long waits for Teslas, they reserve the right to make them Tesla only. The supercharger network is a key selling point for Tesla's so if their...

There're not quite as fast as that from a standing start but they are very quick. Performance model Tesla's put the power down very smoothly, it's less frenetic than the MG and feels more controllable. The MG is more fun though, because it's almost twitchy in comparison.

Yeah, not much you can do if someone wants to go silly. I had the same last weekend when I was in my Model Y. The Model 3 is a little faster but I almost kept up till we reached the speed limit then I let him go. Not met one in my MG yet.

I haven't visited the MG part of this dealer but I did buy a LEAF from the NISSAN part many years ago. Was hardly stellar service. Nobody could be bothered to talk to you if the salesman you were dealing with wasn't around. While I was there, I saw someone walking around with a bucket and a...

ECO mode is like a panic button, to eke out the last scraps of range when you think you won't reach your destination. Just being careful with the acceleration and keeping the speed down is all you really need to do.

I've turned all the annoyances down to their minimum sensitivity and still get warnings pop up occasionally for no reason that I can see. Honestly, I think that all this interfering automation is making driving more dangerous, not less.

Unfortunately, the daft things have to default to annoying in order to gain the highest NCAP rating. Seems that politicians think we're all as inept as they are.

Android Auto is astonishingly sensitive to lead issues. A disconnect for a fraction of a second causes problems for it. I don't know why. I had the same issue with AA when I had the Focus ST. Go over a bump and AA would disconnect, almost every time. I resolved it by cleaning out the port on...

TWINS!

I can't see self driving cars in the UK, not without some serious changes to the law. At present we have some of the most petty vindictive punitive laws in the world. If your self driving car kills someone, the law will look for someone to blame and the way things are at the moment, that'll be...

The aim is obviously self driving cars. I suspect the plan is to kill off private ownership of cars, at least for 'normal' people - it'll be short term rental, like taxis. That'll get rid of the need for so many parking spaces for cars that are only used for a few minutes each day. It'll also...

I have mine set to the lowest sensitivity and it still occasionally brings up panicky messages and beeps even when there's clearly no danger. It doesn't seem to understand the concept of a vehicle in front moving away to the side. It assumes they're still in front of you.

All modern cars do this, unfortunately. It's a side effect of poorly thought out and even more poorly implemented legislation. Only politicians could think that taking control away from the driver without warning for no valid reason is a good idea.

Mine is the only one I have ever seen outside of photos. Plenty of other MG4 models.

Nope. Two issues. Firstly my phone doesn't have wireless charging. Second is that the phone doesn't stay on the mat anyway, it flies off under acceleration. And it's too long to even sit on the mat properly with a lead through one of the holes. I just stuck a magnetic mount to the dash between...
