    Effect of wind speed/direction on consumption

    Just been to LHR and back from Jct 18 of M4 with a strong SW wind. It's blindingly obvious physics but the impact of wind speed on M/KWhr is much more noticeable in an EV when one is concentrating on the GOM and wondering what margin will be left when getting back home! It was 4.5 on way there...

    Mode and KERS setting thoughts

    Having driven my original SR 25k miles over 2 years I often find myself musing as I drive on how the drive mode and KERS settings are actually implemented (I used to be a software engineer / system and HCI designer) If I was building it with the spec to do what it does I think I would keep it...

The Tesla supercharger at 5 m distance gave the same negative result. My MG5 is now towed away in a country with few MG dealers 1000...

    How many others have been ripped-off at an MG dealer?

    I took my MG5 in for it's yearly service and stupidly asked them to just check the front and rear wipers and replace them if they thought it necessary.... silly boy! Give the dealer any excuse and they'll charge you for something! Not a problem if the charge is reasonable but when I came to pay...

For example, the length comes to 4.7-4.8M. This is why I like Tesla Model Y... 2. Rear seat should be as flat as the back...
