    Problem with intermittent power reduction

    Interesting to see this is another early SE SR. After all the updates I had, I'm still leaning toward a hardware (battery?) issue. Mine is going back, on Tuesday, for the 4th time to try to resolve this. Different dealer this time and 6 months on

    Any EV advice for my first long trip?

    Don't want to hijack the thread too much, though an answer may be relevant to the discussion I just downloaded the Tesla app, based on this advice and (unless I'm being particularly unobservant) there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to filter or distinguish between chargers open to all and...

    Any EV advice for my first long trip?

    I'd say, based on the info given, you'd be OK but tight, so factor in a stop in the later half so you have it if you need it. I did a trip to central London at the weekend from MK, 70% motorway @ 65mph-ish and averaged 4.3m/kWh, which is about bang on WLTP for the SR (218 miles range). That...

    Another ICE bites the dust.

    Beautiful. You could have cleaned them 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Unusual charging behaviour at the end of an AC charge.

    I've noticed similar behaviour with mine

    Tomorrow - the rest of the car 😁👍

    Do you think it would come off with not too much hassle/damage, if need be?

    Looks gorgeous 🙌🏽 Would you be kind enough to share your opinion, maybe a pic, of the carbon effect centre piece once fitted? Also tempted with this

    Problem with intermittent power reduction

    I think what confused me is that point 2 is what seemed to occur to my SR, and struck me as the main issue with SR cars, though you mention that in point 1. Not trying to be pedantic, though would be good to paint a clear picture for folk. Mine was definitely a power restriction issue, which...

    Problem with intermittent power reduction

    I understood these to be the same issues (having experienced both, and still have them)

    MG4 EV SR range

    I'm currently seeing estimated range around 210-220 miles at 100% and averaging around 4 - 4.5 miles/kwh on recent drives (that's up to London and back on a real mix of roads). Seems to have nudged up a bit this last week with warmer weather. That's driving sensibly with a light right foot...

    Confused 🤪

    It looks like you got charged 81 pence per kWh, which tallies with this (if using their Recharge card): https://shellrecharge.com/en-gb/public-charging/public-charging-tariffs Did you pay using their card, or contactless? What makes you think you didn't get 64%, if the car charged from 16 -->...

    Traffic lights (etc) best practice - Auto Hold or N?

    I was mulling this over earlier, this thread popped in to mind for some reason. I generally use auto-hold day and night (guessing this always illuminates the brake lights?), not because I'm not courteous, though I've never been bothered by anybody's brake lights, ever, so it just doesn't occur...

    Black badges on Aliexpress

    For those who have fitted black badges and the lower front vent additions, would they be fairly easy to remove without damage? I'd like to do those additions to my blue SE, though slightly concerned as it's a lease car and don't want to be penalised for making any modifications.

    Loss of Control

    Noticed that also on cattle grids. I think the stock tyres are pretty horrendous, they seem quite binary off/on in terms of grip, not particularly progressive or predictable
