So, in the end I have decided to purchase an extended range single motor TM3 for 40k€ (after the French govt subsidy) . My wife made the decision for me - she liked the simplicity of the design and the huge boot. She really hates the Model Y though. Unlike MG they gave me a delivery date of 3...

Thanks for your well reasoned response. My wife’s is -what is wrong with our one year old MG ZS EV LR?

So that is about 33590€ here in France (after the eco discount. Not bad. The TM3 is 35730€. More expensive and less range but with the Tesla network.

I will contact my dealer here in france on Monday. See if I can get an order in, unless it is more expensive than a Tesla model 3

Any news on the MG4 with the 77 kWh battery? My dealer said it would be available to order this summer. It seems that it is available in Australia.

Thanks, will try it on my wife’s phone. So tried it on an IPhone 7 plus running 15.7.6, works fine. Turns out it was a faulty VPN configuration.

Since the IOS update and the tesla app update, all I get when I launch the app is a black screen. I have tried the usual- Deleting the app and reinstalling. Logging out and logging in. Restarting iPhone. Waving dead chicken around my head. IPhone 11, v 16.5.1, Tesla app - v 4.22.1 Anyone else...

I have never been able to charge at Braintree with my MG ZS EV or my Kia E Niro.

Thanks for this, it is an interesting theory.

I am currently in Spain and it is hot. Twice now, after about 1 hour’s driving a number of warnings flash up saying cruise control, emergency braking, collision avoidance are all unavailable. I park the car, switch off, lock the car, then unlock, restart and everything is fine. I think it maybe...

£55k in UK according to electric viking.

Or in France 34.5 + TVA of 20% = 41.4, then deduct the subsidy of 5k = 36.4 k €. Which is close to the 38 k € for a Tesla model 3. You get an additional bonus if you live somewhere like Paris with an extra 5k from the city council.

Just saw on the electric Viking show that Australia is getting a 77 kWh battery option with 520km of range for 36k €. Not sure if that includes taxes.

Got my fastest charge ever yesterday at a juicepass 120 kwh charger in Spain. Seems my MG ZS EV LR 2022 can charge at 11/100.

Well, I tried again at Hotel Tudanca with a Zunder 200 kWh charger, emptied the car, closed all the doors, plugged in the charger (it is plug and charge) and within 4 seconds it started charging . A few seconds later, I got a message on my Apple Watch that it had started charging.
