The issue seems to be access to canbus. The lack of secure connections over the canbus system. Kia and hyundai have a serious problem - the ioniq 5 and ev6, niro certainly impacted - I've read that the key system has a small set of rolling codes which can be brute forced quickly to open the...

Q4 is condensation. My wife insists on having the temp low, the airflow low and using the car to take wet garden rubbish to the tip. She gets the same problem. You can see the condensation over the camera. I set the temp to 19 and have airflow to the screen and never have any issues. Do...

I think the technology has moved so much that its difficult to generalize. I would want to see much more detailed data about use, journey, battery heat ups, etc The leaf is certainly the car with the biggest degradation issues, but also the only (?) car without decent battery thermal management.

Some very good deals on used etrons, ipace etc on pcp from the dealers. OP's diesel costs would pay the monthly pcp. Not sure I'd have an ipace without a jlr warranty, but tempting. etron has terrible range, jag is ok tesla m3 getting cheap as well.

The cost of the infrastructure to deliver the power to the location can be much much more expensive.

I can understand the tesla issue when you look at some of the design choices they are making - structural batteries and the gigapressings will make repairs interesting.

This. Until proven otherwise, my hypothesis is : man drives through red light/speed camera; man panics and makes up story without thinking through consequences. I'd also believe someone setting up a story to get mg to buy a car back because depreciation/insurance is hitting hard. A number of...

Sounds like total bollocks to me. Similar stories in the past have turned out to be all about covering up or making excuses for accidents or speeding/red light offences.

black always shows swirl marks/scratches badly. Against that, metalic silver is more difficult to get a match for if you need any bodywork doing. Not sure what the triple coat red is like for colour match. but the blue and white are probably the easiest to maintain.

And the good news is that the log suppliers responsible seem to be accepting responsibility :) Which is a relief. I provided them with dashcam footage and they've given me their insurance details. Makes me glad I put that dashcam in. btw - dealer said there are 3 different part numbers for...

What happens if you go to the binding screen in the car? On the facelift version you bind the car to the app.

Well, bonnet is available in the uk, £560+vat led light on backorder but quite reasonable price £600+vat - The ones on my skoda were over £1k 5 years ago (although when I think about it, they are adaptive). Front bumper was a bit of a shock - £1150+vat also on backorder. Its irritating...

I'll have a look. Sort of assumed that anything on ebay would be crashed and likely the parts wanted would be broken.

This is what worries me. Just wondering if the issues are only with things that they clearly need lots of, or if everything takes ages.

Our ZS EV LR trophy connect had a connection with some logs that came off a delivery van this morning :( Bonnet is fubar, front bumper/grille/whatever its called is cracked, one of the led lights is cracked and the surround for the charge port is cracked. Is this going to turn into a...

The -ve terminal is connected to the car body. If you start to remove the +ve terminal first then it could be quite easy for you to 'short' the battery by connecting the +ve terminal to the body and hence to the -ve terminal - this isnt good for the battery and can give interesting...

Thanks, but thats not what I'm asking. I know all this. I want to use the buttons on the steering wheel to move through my favourites.

That overnight loss is way out of order. my first thought would be are you actually turning it off? Def go back to the dealer.

I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but this is irritating me. when I change radio channel with the buttons on the steering wheel it moves through all the channels. I just want to move through my saved ones. R3 and R4 are next to each other so not an issue, but the world service and...

https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/used-electric-car-prices-caught-in-vicious-downward-cycle-as-experts-warn-of-more-trouble-ahead/279724 I think a combination of electricity/charging prices, infrastructure still poor, lots of tesla model 3 now available at the end of their initial 3 year...
