Just ordered an S6 for my first EV

[fred12345]

question: what comes with new S6 as standard, I guess charging cable and the usual puncture repair kit? Locking wheel nuts seem to be in the boot? Anything else that needs checking when collecting the car?

I didn’t get any locking wheel nuts. Got the type 2 charging cable.

I don't know if they come with the car but I've seen them in at least two cars that I looked at ... they are about £12 to buy so not a big deal ...

I heard some people getting the locking nuts but I wasn’t fussed I didn’t get them.

Mine came with a set of locking wheel nuts ( made in Italy) which dealer fitted before I collected, also a charge cable.

I've got a couple of questions for those that have their S6 already.

What charging cables come with the car? Is it just the type 2 cable or do you get granny charger and V2L cables too?

Does the iSmart app require a subscription?

Might be different for different regions, but there was a 3m Type 2 cable with mine. No V2L nor a granny charger. Those are more or less prohibited in Norway.
App does not require a subscription (yet).

I'm getting mine soon, should come with MG charging cable and tyre puncture repair kit. I asked, 3-pin charger is extra. V2L adapter was always extra but you can get this on eBay...

App is not a subscription, free.

Does the iSmart app require a subscription?

No subscription for the iSMART app. The car also has a built-in 4G sim with free subscription touted 1Gb allowance so it is constantly connected to the internet so you can communicate with car using the app. Also data can be used for the built-in car app YouTube and Spotify.

YouTube only works when stationary?

YouTube only works when stationary?

Yes, legal requirement, same as playing videos from a usb.

 

[fred12345]

Collected mine and just got home. Fingers crossed

Type 2 cables should definitely be included. 3-pin charger is not included (used to be with early electric MGs) and puncture kit is definitely included, seems the warning triangle also comes as standard. I got locking wheel nuts but some other people didn't. Cheap to buy yourself

Now, question for others, floor mats are included or not? I got them as "extra fribie" with few other bits (guess I look like a beggar or they were very happy to make a sale), just wondering if they were freebie or not ...

All new cars and those serviced every year get free AA breakdown cover.

Floor mats don’t come as standard but negotiable when doing a deal. Yes I got them.

I see.. I haven't asked for them which means I definitely look like a beggar ...

We’ll never too late, on collection ask “where’s the mats?” If you don’t ask you don’t get!

I paid £75 for mine.
