Will the MG S5 have the same problem that the MG ZS had regarding the Tesla charging

I'd be very surprised if it didn't do it out of the box.

What problem is that?

Apparently, this will be released in Australia as the new model MG4EV, but there is talk of an MG3 EV, no idea if that will the existing MG4 new model rebadged, or if it will be a smaller version of the MG4 .....

The S5EV is theoretically a replacement for the ZS EV, built on the MG4 Platform

I tried doing some research to see if dog mode is a thing, but its not mentioned in the owners manual. Will see if i can pair my phone with the test drive tomorrow and glean something from that..
(I do have a lovely Labrador so it might be a dealbreaker for me if there is no possibilities of controlling the climate control from outside the car, we will see.. )
