Thread: EV general discussion

I have to think that Robert Pepper was either duped on this one or deliberately ignored the elephant in the room.
The burned Tesla was a standard range with LiFePo4 battery and. It just shows. How resilient they are. if the same damage was on an LMC or other battery there would be nothing left to look at and it would have taken possibly days to put out.

The most popular EV's sold in Australia are LIFPO4.

I present a perhaps more informed look than typical in here at EV fires..

Also dispelling the myth that no one would **** on an EV.

I can confirm that my dog prefers the defender but it might be because it's closer to the door.

Booked my 40,000 km service. I loved my Disco just not the twice a year servicing and fuel cost!

While mostly very happy with my MG4 the fact MG has not fixed the car going into reverse when in Drive and stopping is shocking really. Its only IF using One Pedal driving so not really an issue as you have a PITA menu to turn that on

CHECK FOR VEHICLE GOES INTO REVERSE WHEN BRAKING AND
ACCELERATING AFTER HARD BRAKE, REFER OPEN RO AND TECH CASE.
CHECKED FOR CUSTOMER CONCERN, CARRIED OUT DTC AND FOUND NO
FAULTS. STARTED TECH CASE WITH MG, AND FOUND TO BE NORMAL
OPERATION OF VEHICLE. ABLE TO REPRODUCE FAULT EVERYTIME AS
VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO DO."

This is from the dealer! Reproduce the car going backwards fault then suggest the car is designed to do it? I am amazed

So… let it do it. Then back into the bulbar of a tradie behind you.

Capture it all on dash cams.

Start courts case with MG

I know that MG passed into foreign hands, but I expected better reverse engineering from the new owner than that.

I will say that when it gets its 40,000km service in January. Thanks JT

Mr Musk is all over the news for reasons other than EVs at times. This one is interesting "Cybertruck assembly line workers were told to stay home for three days at the start of December, hinting that there may be a demand problem. Reuters is now highlighting data that shows used Cybertrucks are taking far longer than expected to sell than earlier in the year, up to 75 days compared to 27 days in May, which should mean there’s a much higher chance that you can negotiate the price down and get a good deal on a used Cybertruck.
