    MG4 vs Tesla Model 3

    Same here, I need a family car with good interior space but not super large or an SUV. We have had a mix of saloon/Hatch over time. I often carry a considerable number of boxes and the M3 can fit much more inside than my MG4 but this is only possible because I don’t sell washing machines or...

    MG4 vs Tesla Model 3

    Like I said, different compromises for different people. Not sure why everyone has to prove one thing is better than another thing and all the usual Willy waving that happens online. Technically on the electronics and software side I believe the Tesla to be superior but I loved the MG4 as a...

    MG4 vs Tesla Model 3

    More😂 Not really a great comparison new to used. Under 3 years old and less than 18k miles mine was £30k. It should be and is better in many ways. Efficiency is another area. Sinc beginning of November I have averaged over 3.7m/kWh which just beats the summer average of my MG4. Heat pump no...

    MG4 vs Tesla Model 3

    I replaced my 7 month old trophy with used dual motor model 3. Wouldn't go back although neither are perfect. It's all about which compromises fit you better. Build quality - not much in it I guess both creak and shudder over road imperfections. Ride firmer on M3 which is annoying until you...

    Its back from MG Stoneacre

    I got rid of my Trophy a couple of months ago after software updates still didn't cure pretty much any of the niggles that the car suffered with. Have spent the last couple of months with a low milage used Tesla Model 3 LR that cost less than the Trophy, has heat pump and software that works...

    BCM update (recall)

    I was having a moan at my dealer a couple of weeks ago about the software misery and they booked my car in to test and have updates and when they checked the system there was a recall for software on my March 23 Trophy that concerned several modules. Obviously they didn't know which ones but are...

    Thank me later... (engineering menu)

    Didn’t seem to have any effect on my phase 1 trophy other than making telephone key beep noises when typing. Threw caution to the wind and just went for it😂

    Software update woes broke my car

    My March 22 trophy has a recall for software updates and is booked into dealer to be completed later this month. It involves head unit and several module updates Including EVCC and BMS. I was in asking about possible updates to cure my list of irritations and they let me know a recall exists at...

    Do you name your car? If so what did you call it?

    Dose all the MGs4 use the same electric motor?

    I could see motor rpm in my MG5 SR and it did run all the way up to over 15000rpm so I doubt there will be much room to derestrict. I guess rated rpm is where max output is measured and then it’s all downhill from there even though it is whizzing round at impossible speeds, 250 times a second😬

    One pedal driving survey

    I think most one pedal driving modes blend friction brakes with regen as you come to a stop anyway

    Charging at Tesla Chargepoints

    I used Newport this week, just wanted a quick top on my Southampton - Cardiff-Swindon-Southampton round trip. Went from 35 to 70 percent in something like 12 or so minutes. Saw 142kW from the start until about 60% where it started to taper. Not a massive amount of time stopped to complete the...

    Hazard Lights Flashing

    unlikely that the front sensors are being used to detect vehicles approaching from the rear. Just normal operation as per the owners manual. In nearly 6000 miles of driving I have noticed this about 3 times. On two occasions I was stationary in multilane traffic at lights where cars approached...

    Hazard Lights Flashing

    Hi, I have only seen this a few times when vehicles have approached quickly from behind, perhaps changing lane just before they get to me in a multi lane situation. It is mentioned in the manual but from memory it states the brake lights will flash which must be a translation error.

    MG4 EV (air con / fan problem) noise

    My Trophy makes the same noise but not as pronounced due to not opening the bonnet and placing the recording device there. Our Leaf makes quite the noise as well when heat pump runs and has done for 8 years without issue. The chirping noise is the aircon compressor, it starts off running fast...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Yep, I think I could have run longer on the initial fill having now seen it but intrigue got the better of me!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    I have today changed the reduction box oil on my late December 2022 build and March 2023 delivered non leaking Trophy as I said I would sometime ago in a distant thread. My driveway dose not allow a perfect side to side level plus the car had the rear up on ramps so this may slightly affect how...

    Driving MG4 to Zero%

    You’ll be doing whatever 6kW of continuous power will provide, more than you would circling a car park anyway at a guess
