How do you activate TJA. Traffic Jam Assist. On the ZSEV now gone back at end of PCP, (so just got the S5 last Friday [Halloween!]) it just came on when in the adaptive cruise control MG pilot setting with the LKA, at lower speeds eg 20 mph. Does it do the same on the S5 or do you have to...

Granny chargers are very useful though when staying at someone's house to charge or some holiday accommodation that lets you plug into an outside 3 pin plug socket. Paying for what you use of course.

Surely it will burn down through all the EVs catching fire or at the very least be uninsurable.

Have one dongle for the apple and one for the android. Just plug in whichever is to be used when starting off and unplug just before exiting.

Mine does this (72 ZS trophy Connect). I asked for update to fix along with the Tesla fix at a service. The V2L one didnt work but the Tesla one did. I am changing to an S5 in about 8 weeks. Hopefully it will work properly in that. I only really want it for an emergency if the house loses...
