In New Zealand we call clear meths Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). it used to be difficult to get because it is used by drug manufacturers but when covid hit the rules suddenly changed because it's an effective sanitising agent so we can now buy it by the litre at hardware outlets. Unlike meths it is...

I'm sorry to hear this tale of disappointment.

The silver lining around that cloud is that you weren't on the motorway doing 70Mph when the universal crapped itself.

To my eye the car looks better with the covers off, and as per KiwiEV (always trust Kiwis, OK?) I think they would look spanking in gloss black.

That looks very spanky indeed. Is there any factory tint at all in any of the window glass?

I'm pleased to hear that Granny works for you Raj. Will you keep your existing ZS?

Down under in New Zealand the supply chain is so ratshit that anything with EV in the name is selling for inflated prices so I suspect that your scheme would work in our environment Ippy1. Down here we don't have the option of the LR, the first shipment are all SR and I believe the second...

I also got the MG NZ email yesterday which among other stuff told me that my car is not expected in New Zealand until October. Hardly surprising really considering the Chinese government's Covid elimination strategy (I thought ours were the only dumb-asses) and their recent lockdown. The...

They look pretty smart in white.

Also have a look at the vehicle VIN number, perhaps first 6, last 6, or the 6 following a letter in the VIN.

Smart ideas.

Trust tends to be hard to gain and easy to lose. Given that MG in it's present incarnation are a new company with a rather limited history vs the likes of Toyota & Ford they are still building trust. The truth of this statement is easily verified simply by asking friends who don't own one...

Best wishes with your lovely new carriage Kazzy, may your enjoyment be long and deep.

They couldn't have made a much more ambiguous message than this.

So my question then Michael is, do all of the new ZS EV get OTA updates, or do the non-Internet connected models need to go into the dealer for a USB-loaded update?

Too many exhaust pipes to get my pulse racing.

I suspect that we aren't getting the Internet connected version down here in New Zealand so there would be no WiFi unit in the car for the app on your cellphone to connect to, just as there is no WiFi unit in my current (Suzuki) for an app to connect to. This is quite different to your phone...

It would be nice to have the greater range potential of the NMC version but MG are not bringing them into New Zealand at this stage so LFP it is, hopefully about August this year. However I don't think that's much of an issue if we take the recommended charge cycles of 80% for NMC vs 100% for...

That was my philosopy too, until my wife bought an MG HS PHEV with what appears to be the same light set as the ZS EV. The auto lights on that are quite excellent both in penetration and spread of beam, and also in response to other vehicles whether they be approaching or driving away. They...

Here's an interesting YT from a couple of guys on the ground in Shanghai discussing what's happening during the shutdown in that city
