I fail to see how that could affect your insurance cover in most cases.
Woah there.
No they won't. Lots of things are theoretically an insurance risk but very unlikely to actually happen.
As long as you Formally report and have the fault acknowledged within 30 days - if the dealer can’t provide a date then that to rectify that doesn’t matter - as long as you are happy to wait of course.FWIW, I've had this two days running at 'pedal right down', my power was limited at 40%, speed varied, limited once at around 75, once at around 65mph. SOC was around 30-35%.
Called Glyn Hopkin MG, and they said they heard of it but hadn't seen a car with it yet. I asked to book mine in and they said it's June before they have availability. TBH, I'm not even sure it's worth booking it if there's no official fix from MG? Feeling in a bit of a predicament as that takes me well beyond the 30 days since collection. If anybody has any thoughts on this, they'd be much appreciated.
Nice that you're getting more than 100% power though when working
Absolutely. Not everyone will be comfortable with an approach that modifies anything at all on the car.
I had power limit in my trophy today. I had driven about 170 miles with a break for a couple of hours at the 130 mile mark. I then drove out of Cardiff and back towards Bristol at mostly 50mph due to motorway limits and as I approached Bristol where I intended to charge as the battery percent dropped to under 20% I could not exceed 60mph. Power limited to 23% at 60 but would hit 66% under that speed but no more. Certainly not due to heat as about 9 degrees c and raining. I only found this by trying to overtake the HGVs once we got back to normal speed limit as I was fed up of being in their spray……had to pull back in
Car only covered 300 miles from new with only a single change to 100% last night where it spent over an hour balancing. I wonder if being a new pack it is unbalanced causing premature panic from the BMS at a lower state of charge.
Anyway after slight panic it rapid charged back to 80% in just over 25 minutes and all was well again. I drove more quickly where I could on the way home and have reduced it to 22% again with no reduction in performance at all yet. I will go out later and run it down further and see if the same thing happens again.
Slightly odd, no warning of reduced performance and not acceptable that the final 40 miles of range can only be completed at a snails pace. I would be quite happy if it did this at say 5% remaining with appropriate warnings
This is interesting. It's not quite how mine behaved yesterday. As my speed started to increase, the power was dropping and dropping, I then hit a certain speed and power stayed at 40%, though the speed increased very steadily, I think as the gradient was slightly downhill. I still can't work out if it's trying to limit speed or power. Perhaps it was still trying to maintain a speed limit though couldn't quite control it due to the gradient.
Basically yes, I guess power limited to 66% at that point but also a 60mph limit give or take. No odd behaviour other than that, had regen, power delivery was linear hence I had no idea it was going to happen.
Yeah, think pretty much the same, tumbles pretty quickly at a given speed.
Was the "Intelligent Speed Restriction" on which might have picked up a 60 limit through the roadworks?
Maybe this is the key. Ok it's not turned on but if the software glitches and in the background engages an "intelligent speed restriction" wouldn't this give exactly the effect being reported ?
Ok fair enough, just a thought.
