    You CAN road trip an SE SR

    Yes, I got that, but I was wondering whether he had any specific info about that. Gridserves are fine, tap card and walk away. (Just more expensive.) Is there any reason to believe BP Pulse or Shell Recharge would give me grief with an MG4?

    Aggressive Turtle / Low Power mode after last dealership visit

    Your stealer is lying to you. I've had mine down at 4% several times and no loss of power at all. Could still overtake at over 70 mph. (I was really near the service station!) The only thing I ever noticed was when it was down around 12% on a cold winter evening it was slightly less chirpy...

    Which EV, new or used, would you change your MG for?

    I'm more or less the same. I've had the undertray issue, the charging port lights failed and a door locking button failed, but none of these interfered with my use of the car and they were all fixed under warranty. I have the dealer from hell, but I will simply go elsewhere in future. If...

    IS ABRP accurate for a MG4 Trophy?

    It's probably that feature where the forum dredges up "similar threads" and posts them at the bottom of the page you're reading. It catches a lot of people out.

    Care to expand on that?

    You CAN road trip an SE SR

    I've just realised something. I was getting suspicious about the way ABRP was selecting only Tesla chargers, so I checked. At some point I must have told the thing to prefer Tesla chargers and not cancelled it. Having now cancelled that, it has got the journey time down to 8 hours 39 minutes...

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    I was out in Alloway on Wednesday with friends, and we saw about five MG4s in pretty quick succession. There was a grey one parked by the lodge house of the estate we were visiting, and we passed a white, a red and a Tango on the road. There was at least one other. The place is crawling with them.

    I'm already almost 20 miles down the A702, so the M74/M6 route is a no-brainer for me.

    MG4 Extended range discontinued?

    Sounds perfect. I just have the 51 and it has to handle the 450-mile trips as well, but since these are infrequent it's not really a problem.

    That's good advice. As is the advice to wait until I'm actually at a supercharger to buy the Tesla membership. I'll have an idea by then whether it's likely to be worth it in terms of number of Tesla charges I envisage. I'm realising that if I want to do the ABRP recommended itinerary I have to...

    It was quite a while ago that I used the Uxbridge supercharger so maybe they changed it? SR here, not going to be stopping for less than half an hour as a rule. Maybe they were really tired? I got as far as the bus station and a snack bar there!

    Which Software Updates?: Second Service

    Easy. Does the car try to drive you off the road, or not?

    Bluetooth connectivity issues on the SE?

    MG4 Extended range discontinued?

    Another excellent point.

    You have the advantage of the LR though, with not just the range but also the charging speed. I can certainly let you know about nice places to stop, though! What has struck me though is that I'm either moaning that the stops are too short for a meal, or occasionally that they're long in a...
