    MG X Power

    Good thinking, but I think I read that the Trophy one isn't compatible with the Xpower unfortunately.

    Tesla Model 3 to X-power or Extended range

    It was a question, because I honestly couldn't tell. Mentioning possibly driving at 71 in a 70 is not in any way, shape or form encouraging unlawful activity. Perhaps the role of the moderators should be reviewed and modified from the below to whatever the above is called. Some might call...

    Tesla Model 3 to X-power or Extended range

    Is this a serious response ? Someone mentioning they may have possibly exceeded the posted speed limit by 1mph is encouraging readers to break the speed limits ?

    MG X Power

    I saw on a FB group that a guy in Australia had a few smaller front sway bars made for his XP and is testing them, but I haven't seen any updates in a bit. His initial feeling was while it increased body roll, the car actually cornered and drove better. Went from a 32 mm front bar to 24...

    MG X Power

    TBF, I've been gentle with mine and I still have a fair amount of superficial scratches on the plexiglass as well (also on the panel behind the rear windows). It just seems hyper fragile. Having said that, I wouldn't accept it on a new car either. Haven't seen any condensation inside the...

    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    Ha yea just wanted to cover the plate a bit before sharing, but didn't realize it was still transparent until after I posted...but I think I'll be alright. Def not looking to disassemble the rear light unit! Just want to dip that black as well, but since the badge is inside, I need to either...

    What have you bought for your Xpower this week ?

    My 2 cents thus far: front and rear fitted floor mats, trunk mat (floor only), center console storage insert, tempered glass screen protector, protective film for the shiny black interior plastic (not yet installed) and mud flaps. In the cart - hood struts, led interior magnetic lights for the...

    MG4 X Power Vibe/Hum 65to75mph

    Also in a LHD for 1 month / 1k km and while I do sense something, it's not as flagrant as others experience. I'm in a French Xpower group on FB and there seems to be (unscientifically) a similar number of owners there who complain of serious vibration issues, and many are vocally advocating...

    Break-in period on the Xpower?

    Yea I don't plan to make it a regular thing at all, BUT I do want to make sure it works 😆 From what I've just read elsewhere, it doesn't seem necessary for EVs with respect to the battery and motor(s). So I'll take my chances with premature wear of the tires (likely to be changed well before...

    Break-in period on the Xpower?

    Thanks for your feedback! When did you first test launch control? (I'm assuming you have 😈😁) (and break-in vs running-in...you can take the boy out of America, but you can't take the America out of the boy haha). I try to use the appropriate UK terminology when I know/remember!

    Break-in period on the Xpower?

    Hello gang, just wondering what kind of break-in period you followed on your own Xpowers before really pushing/testing it (launch control, extended hard acceleration/braking, high speed runs etc). I've only done very short bursts thus far and mostly tried to baby it. I just crossed 1100km...

    MG4 Exhaust. 🤣

    That's awesome! Let us know how you get on. I'd def consider it if the car mod budget allows, after upgrading the wheels and tires.

    MG4 Exhaust. 🤣

    Agreed! I'm not in danger of dropping thousands on it either... but the idea of occasionally pairing the insane Xpower acceleration with the visceral experience of a traditional sports car exhaust system (during a bout of spirited comparative driving perhaps?) would give a giggle. Ninja mode...

    MG4 X Power tyre change for the vibration issue

    Yea I think there's only been one entry thus far (by Bricktop/PS5s). I haven't changed mine yet, but when I do I will be contributing.
