But calling it an MG is an absolute travesty.
Cynical Moi?
Ship sat out side unable to land for two week. Calls after than are funny. One was could I drive to Melbourne to sign transfer of registration. Not my car or was it?
They registered someone else's car to meSigned then to today and got a text from vic road about me selling/transfering a car I have never seen
My Niece suggested I am a bit GAUNT probably due to my running as I eat like a horse. Pic is my dad who I stole from his retirement digs for a day trip. Point Lonsdale Ringwood and back. The GAUNT one is me
The colour was my kids choice!!! Better than my black Disco and MG EXev?
The 150ish km I drove the New mg4 gave me a few nice bits. The regenerative Braking works with the very good adaptive cruise control. It didn't with the prior one. Rear wheel drive was of course better. The wheel slip with the significant torque in the XS front wheel drive will not be missed.
I do not mind being GAUNT. If I was a showoff I could show the BIG bitsSholders and Chest and six pack- I was not being rude
PS It showed about 500km range when I hoped in. Its down to 250 which is still as much as the car I left in Ringwood showing which never ever got that far
PS2. The dealer called me on the way back as they forgot to ask me to sign the documents to transfer the XS to them. Does that mean I own 3 cars today
When solid state and the whisper of Hydrogen and Landcruiser get louder it might be a race for more than just me

PPS I was very surprised by an Engineer advising me he has chosen the same car as me. He is much smarter than I am.
BLIMEY! Are your jeans a bit loose or were you just happy to see Karen?
BTW, as you know, there are Engineers & Engineers. He may have been a Sewer Engineer.

Very Very Lucky!
Charged my new one today. Did over 400km. Off to Bendigo tomorrow for a bike ride. "Charging for 58mins, 47.31kWh @ $0.45/kWh $21.29"
I had hoped or informed it would charge at 140 kWh? My bad. It was only a 50kWh charger today. When I get back I'll visit the 350 kWh at Torquay RACV which is near by.
Rear wheel drive is better and the cruise control is much better. Turning of the lane keeping stuff as it scares the pants of me at times it did not need to
Two sailors and a cool 73 year old blindman on bikes- Sounds like the start of a good joke.

SubscriberVictoria. February. El Nino. 40+°. Strong northerly. TFB. I am not allowed to start my lawnmower, or an angle grinder.
But you are allowed to charge your EV. Start at about 1:20 if the tech stuff is too much FUD.

SubscriberYou seem to going for Troll status there Tins!
Timely reminder though that charging Lithium-Iron batteries at home can lead to a house fire. E-scooters and e-bikes should never be left to charge overnight or when unattended.
Most EV manufacturers are following China’s lead to move to LFP batteries which are much safer.
EV fires are already very rare when compared to ICE fires, and as the industry moves to safer technology we can expect to see occurrences even less frequent.
But no doubt the consequence can be much higher.
Some good data being tracked by EV FireSafe.

And no - you shouldn’t charge an EV in the bush during fire season. Stick to using proper charging stations.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, which just last month issued a fresh warning of “serious risk of injury or death,” says about 8,000 of the affected range of LG manufactured batteries were installed in homes across Australia, with around 6,000 “not yet located.”"

SubscriberAs long as what I post is a true reflection I will wear that epithet with pride.. There is plenty of BS spruiked by the EVangelists. Nothing wrong with a little counter point.You seem to going for Troll status there Tins!
