So a concept drawing by a freelance illustrator, not a render from SAIC Forgive me for not knowing - and I've not seen anything to verify - is he known to do any work for MG on design?

I wonder where the charge port is relocated to - it's not evident on the visible side that I can see either

Apologies yes. I don't know if the new one has an interior light for the rear passengers, but you'd hope that had been sorted. The new charge door doesn't shade the port so that won't be an issue, and I can't comment on the headlights, though even our Model 3 I'll be upgrading with an LED...

Major? No My minor niggle is the lack of interior light, followed by the lack of a light under the charge port door, followed by the really rather poor headlights for a modern car. All 3 things we've remedied. Nothing major, just puzzling.

Again, it comes back to government not being truly interested since all these cars get road registered when sold, and all that's held at a state level. You measure what matters (to you).

FCAI membership is dominated by legacy auto with no genuine interest in progressing EVs so it's a shame that this peak body's data is the best we have. Their own inability to split VFACTS sales data by power source is a farce and underscores their lack of motivation. Tesla isn't a member...

That's also the one we're using. Works great, and the motion sensor means it comes on automagically & doesn't chew the batteries. Meanwhile we're still on the quest for a satisfactory interior light for the back seat.

Early days yet but the charge port door still holding on here :) Thanks @JodyS21 & @Srp111 for the tip. I've just ordered a white one - thinking I might mask it up and spray it black before installing

What makes you think she's let me drive it yet? ;)

Thanks for your advice guys. Delivery happened today, and the boss is delighted. We've now eliminated exhaust pipes from our garage :cool:

There are so many cars that never make it to RHD in production, however SAIC has stated they have big plans for MG in EVs, and the market where the brand has cachet is UK so it would be surprising if they'd exit. I put it down to Right Hand Drive being the smaller market, and therefore the...

Hi guys We're finalising our purchase and have a car set aside at a dealer awaiting the finance paperwork to be sorted. Are there any points we should be confirming before we arrange collection - eg has there been a recent firmware update or service item that we need ask be applied to a showroom...

Can, and do. Our 2019 SR+ actually drives completely differently to when first delivered, it used to regen brake down to around 30km/hr but now can be one pedal driven & has more aggressive regen as an example. The available window of battery capacity has moved also, so there's less...

It's quite possible without changing any hardware. Thru firmware updates alone our SR+ has greater range through improved battery management and regenerative braking than it did when first delivered

...& Aus I like the extra ground clearance too - that will be useful for us
