Wish list of Cyberster improvements

[Cyberella]

Screens Like Post 39 from Robertoba345 when reversing. You don't need any other info when reversing except a good rear view.
Hood open or close all the way without having to hold the button down, also from Key fob because if someone parks too close so you can't open the drivers door you are stuck. With the hood down I may be able to climb in.
Auto drive out of a parking space straight ahead as demoed on a video somewhere for the same reason.
Ability to set driver profiles which are remembered. I always use Speed Limiter unless driving on the Motorway, but it is a pain every time I switch on I have to go to car settings, scroll across and select MG Pilot and select Lim. Why can this not be retained, there are no safety implications. Or have it on a Steering Wheel button, like every other car I have used.
Every one of these suggestions are software changes, no extra hardware required.

How comes nobody mentions a frunk? Has a huge bonnet and smallish although useable boot. Not sure why MG with their "ground up" designed EVs do not come with at least a rudimentary frunk to keep the charge cables etc. I was disappointed that the under bonnet area was just full of plastic sections. ALL EVs should come with frunks. Simply no excuse.

Maybe its possible on the Trophy but theres a huge radiator and motor there. Plus battery and other components.

For us older people, a lower loading sill on the boot would be helpful.

Not having this there would probably mean less boot space and side vents like Porsche

Improvement of the rear suspension, especially the rebound which is too high on bumpy roads. I found some information:

Since the spring is separate from the shock absorber, it should be relatively easy to replace the shock absorber with a more efficient component that has rebound adjustment.

At least I haven't noticed that anyone mentioned a heatpump in this wishlist. It would add a GT (= Gran Tourer that spells, designed for high speed and long distance) feature to Cyberster by adding some extra milage. Lower seating position is already mentioned. Also it would add some class to have driving info; speed, speedlimit signs, etc, projected onto bottom line of the windscreen. I was testdriving Ford Capri today and it had this feature and it was actually nice. These would't be too expensive add-ons.

From the French online car magazine Caradisiac:

"MG's electric sports car will soon receive some improvements. They have just arrived in China and are expected to follow in our country.

Highly efficient and pleasant to use, this Cyberster suffered from a few flaws at its launch, such as moderately effective (and very bouncy) damping. This problem has likely been partially corrected on the new rear-wheel drive version, and from what we understand, the all-wheel drive variants should also improve thanks to a change in settings."

Quelques améliorations pour la sportive MG Cyberster

La sportive électrique de MG va bientôt recevoir quelques améliorations. Elles viennent d’arriver en Chine et doivent suivre chez nous.

Now the question is:
When will we benefit from these improvements?

It was mentioned preproduction but MG left it out along with a host of other things.

I am trying to work out if the car has unreal engine graphics as mentioned in pre production advertising. I hope it is there and can be enabled so we get the graphics shown on the demos.

They took out those graphics for the UK version. It may come as a "DLC" if people ask for it. They removed the swooshing noise on Supersport switching too. All so serious

The question is more is the hardware to support unreal engine still there as it needs more processing power.

So far I have seen very little post sales updates on any MG I have owned. Ours is booked in for a check and any update early July.

Pet peeves so far:
1 - the chair doesn't always go back/forth for easy exit/entrance when the doors open/close. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Absolutely no idea why this happens, it's annoyingly inconsistent.
2 - left hand screen, would like it to remember last use so don't always need to move it down from the Sat Nav top page to Apple Carplay.
3 - right hand screen, Driving energy consumption, the vertical scale goes from -20 to 80 miles/kWh, when the average is going to be somewhere between 2 and 4... Can we have a more sensible range?
4 - audio volume decreases when you select reverse... Why?

So all software issues, haven't actually wished for the current 1-7 on the list!

In my experience the seat always moves as long as you depress the brake pedal to 'switch' everything on before closing the doors!

Yep, that's my experience also: depress the brake pedal to 'switch' everything on, although mine also works even if I've already closed the door.

I now own a Cyberster GT and I was surprised that "Intelligent Speed Control" is not available in Cruise Control Modes (ACC or ICA), but is available as part of the speed limiter.

I have been driving a VAG car until now and, although it sometimes gets it wrong, I live with the intelligent speed control linked to the Cruise Control.

So on my Wishlist is:

- Intelligent speed limit assist in ACC and ICA modes.

I vote for this also, having both an MG and a VAG it was a surprise when the car warns you of the speed change but does not adjust the speed.

Anyone know if driver settings can be retained so they don’t need to be imputed every time the driver leaves seat or car restarted.
Can the software be updated for this?

I turned off the move the seat when getting in and out so the seat now stays where I want it not a random location.

I’ve done the same. Slightly more inconvenient but knowing I can get in and drive without remembering a specific routine or having to mess with the seat is much better
