COD is not a good idea. You have to sign and pay before opening the parcel. If it’s not what you ordered, good luck in getting your money back, because it’s not held by a trusted source, who needs you as a customer, it’s held by an intermediary. There is also a scam going round, where you sign and pay for the item only to find it’s a house brick, and let’s say you ordered it from Lazada, Lazada will tell you that you didn’t buy any products through their platform, and Lazada is correct, you have just been scammed.

I hadn’t thought of that, I have 3 of them on my grid-tied inverters so I can turn them off on meter reading day if I am not at home. With the over/under voltage control you could integrate them to only start charging on sunny days automatically and use the timer function to stop a few hours later or at (say) 4pm.

I used an over/under Chinese voltage protection device to trigger a changeover contactor. So when the sun comes out as the grid-tied voltage increases the contactor powers off sending power to the EV Charger, and cutting off again if the sun goes in. You could vary this with a Chinese timing device, so the timer starts when the charging begins and stops after a preset amount of charging. This wouldn’t work for you Bandersnatch, but it would work neatly for anyone using grid-tied inverters. Powering off when the sun goes in only works once or twice, eventually the car flags an error, but making the contactor latch with timer is a modification I think I will make. What would work for everyone is a cheap Chinese timer and a contactor, start charging and stop automatically a few hours later.

The MG4 has active shutters too. My sister and her husband are visiting me and are going to order an MG4 X-Power when they return to Australia. They have borrowed my MG4 and love it. We are currently in Vietnam, and have seen Vinfast EV’s in the shopping mall, practical but very ugly.

I have watched a few of his videos, they seem to be more scaremongering than factual. My Taycan was delivered to me in June 2021, no recall on my vehicle other than 3 air conditioning pressure sensors.

Drove mine through 45cm flood with no issues, no recall either. “shouldn’t drive it” - balderdash!

I think Islam is an evil religion, I think all other religions are nonsense. Whilst I don’t condone Hamas’s charter (actually, I condemn it), I think you have to balance cause and effect. It’s clear how this whole problem was created, and only those who created it can fix it.

HELLO! that’s what this thread is about.

I took my German electric car through a 450 mm flood with no adverse effects

As I said before, IF Israel handled the Gaza Strip according to international law, this wouldn’t have happened. The Gaza Strip is recognised by the ICJ as a sovereign country, yet… Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: Israel controls Gaza's air and maritime space and six of Gaza's seven land crossings. Israel reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Which is illegal, the rest of your post is, whataboutism, and two wrongs, making a right, which they don’t I noticed you didn’t comment on Israel, breaking or crime law by blockade in Gaza Strip, please do so

I am surprised, I thought the performance version would be the most popular.. And just think, with the performance version you could get to Big C & Lotus a few seconds earlier!

Sorry, I just saw your post, I elaborated a post or two above this responding to someone else

Actually you entirely missed my point. IF the Israeli government abided by international law regarding the Gaza Strip, the reason for Israeli people wanting to leave Israel right now wouldn’t exist. Incidentally, blockading the Gaza Strip and preventing food and water is a war crime according to the United Nations.

They wouldn’t have this problem if they obeyed international law.

Thanks again, but actually we are flying to Da Nang, and I’m sure we will find an ATM in the airport

Thanks, we fly out there tomorrow

Golly! Gosh!

Somebody told me one month, but that’s not validated

AAS gave me all the paperwork to register my car in Chiang Rai (mostly proof duty had been paid). I got the car in June and went to the DLT mid February the following year. That extra year helped with the 2nd hand value when I sold it after 2 years and I got no speeding/traffic light fines.

Not only saves a lot of energy, but when you get used to high regen, it’s much more relaxing way to drive. I can watch the video by the way

I don’t use the cruise control because it slows down on bends, what I do is use the speed limiter mode and set it what I want to, say 90, and keep my pedal almost to the metal and it stays at that speed if I need to slow down, just lift up & let regen slow it down and again to speed up just pedal almost to the metal again and it stops when hits 90

My daughter prefers minimum regen too. We change each other's settings every time we drive each other's cars.

I rejected a Toyota Camry here 17 years ago when the main dealer painted the door after my then partner crashed it and it was a different colour, I told them to do it again and blow into the front wing and back door, and they did. I warned the paint shop who repaired by daughter's MG EP+ that if it wasn't perfect we wouldn't accept it, and I checked it thoroughly, it was a perfect job. She parked it at her boyfriends hall of residence and a glass blew off a high balcony and chipped 5 panels. The important thing is not to sign for it if it's not right then the insurance company doesn't pay them. I can't speak for the Seal but on an MG, the advantage of maximum regen is that you use the brakes a lot less, and instead of turning forward motion into heat with the brakes you turn it into electricity and it goes back in the battery. You can typically use the brakes for the last few km/hour to bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

The test I use at a car wash is I look at the guys doing the washing, any rings, watches, necklaces, jewelry, buttons, belts and I move on.

I had my Benz Ceramic coated. They advertise it as 9H or 10H and claim it's super hard, in reality it doesn't protect from stone chips or scratches at all (though they dubiously claim it helps). It did remain hydrophobic for about 2 years, and it is the best shine you can get on your new car. I haven't bothered with the MG, just get the detailer to wax it every 6 months.
