[Bramsie]

this morning i get my of the charger and want to drive,
NOT!!!!
the system is brake down no infotainment , no beebs, but a slowly function of the software ,
and all safety warnings ; pedestrian is out , hill decent ; front collision , and a red signal safety system failure,
tryed to disconnect the 12 volt batterie but this is no solution, the software is very slow but the car can drive,
tommorow I will visit a garage

 

[Stuart Wright]

Can you test the voltage of your 12 volt battery?

 

[Mark Holmes]

Not good at all, and it all worked fine last time you drove the car?

 

[Bramsie]

Yess ,, yesterday it was okay, and the 12 volt batery is oké , I think the system want to start up, because there is ticking sound in my speaker system.

Good luck with getting it sorted out, will be interested to know what the MG garage says....all these MG faults aren’t doing the brand any favours 7 year warranty or not it’s still a massive inconvenience and they need to get it sorted.

I have emailed my dealer this evening to ask that they ensure that all the latest software updates are applied to ours before we collect it on Tuesday ! Point well made Mark re brand, there will always be a few issues along the way but as long as the dealer network and MG are on top of it with appropriate resolutions it will be fine

 

[Ian]

Bramsie, good luck with your issues being resolved.

 

[Bramsie]

Tomorrow i will visit the dealer and after that I will inform you all

same as here?

An update on updates?

Can anyone clarify how many updates there have been and what they do?

we've got resolved the problems with some updates from our dealer, latest update is from February and fixed all these problems - unfortunately we did not got the i-Smart update for scheduled charging.
also no update version from the dealer for the onboard charging controller.
after this updates average consumption (10% highwahy, 90% city) dropped to 14.5 kW/h on 100KM

 

[Bramsie]

Wow that’s an improvement

Sorry what does this actually mean as I’m new to the EV world and waiting on my MG ZS EV?

 

[Bramsie]

I think it means noting, only that there is some error in my car that wil be solved

Exactly, just don't worry, MG / SAIC tries very hard to fix small and large problems quickly - there can be hickups, but it's the same everywhere

 

[Bramsie]

Every brand has problems ( big or small) To make an conclusion you have to watch the after sales, and so far at MG is it okay

can you please explain what you mean by this comment, is the vehicle more efficient thus going further than intended

“after this updates average consumption (10% highwahy, 90% city) dropped to 14.5 kW/h on 100KM”

thank you

 

[proudZSowner]

what I want to say is that we initially had very high consumption with the MG, the same driving profile and almost the same temperature with ~ 19kWh / 100km before!

I guess this was the mistake, the update has fixed a bug with US, I don't mean to say that there is an update that reduces the consumption of EVERYONE.

 

[Mark Holmes]

Thank you, so what sort of distance were you getting on a full charge real world?

 

[Bramsie]

It depend on the weather
average 200km

 

[Mark Holmes]

Hmmm not great then that about 123 miles much less than the 163 miles advertised.

 

[Bramsie]

123 Miles is for real with the heater on and the radio exc exc and 6 dgr
