Well this is a revelation for me, never knew AC strength depends upon the mode of driving. I have been driving most of the times in eco+ mode in Mumbai city, owing to the traffic and pathetic road condition in Mumbai, speed never really crosses 40-50 kmph.
Hope someone can give more clarity on this aspect.

Started having a strange issue since 5 days. The JioSavn streaming has taken a hit and buffering songs now and then. I tried throning off the car and every day the same issue. Music buffers on jio savn. Even the voice assistant can’t search cricket scores any more and telling oops, something went wrong ? Is there any network reset option available and also is the same issue with anyone else ?

I just completed a 580km trip to Jaipur from Faridabad and back in my Windsor without any major hiccups. Started with around 54% charge from my home and did a total of 3 fast charges over the 3 days, all through statiq.

The best part was the perfect range i got on my return from Jaipur where I fully charged the car at The DoubleTree hotel in Jaipur and got home without having to charge again. I covered 253 kms with the remaining range at 67 kms, making the total range a perfect 320 kms��. This was at an average speed of around 60-70 kmph on the highway with the AC on the whole time with temperature usually between 24-26 and fan speed between 1 and 3.

The only issue i faced while returning was with the screen for a short time. We were using Android auto for maps and music and at one point it suddenly disconnected and won't connect again. The whole screen had become pretty lagy at this time and the FM and jio savn were not working either. Everything was just freezing. After a moment i noticed that the screen was not showing the AC temperature and fan speed and neither the battery temperature and range. We thought we'll take a break for tea and give the car some rest and see if that fixes the issue. The next rest stop was around half an hour away and I was nervous the whole time that the screen issue might affect other things in the car. Luckily we got to the rest stop easily and as soon as I put the car in park, everything went back to normal on the screen. Post that the screen was functioning as usual for the rest of the trip.

The screen does give other issues intermittently too where it would start doing stuff on its own like opening the dialer or changing the volume etc. Not sure if it's mis-hearing the words we're talking and assuming them to be voice commands. Does anyone else face this issue?

This might be because your Jio data for the month has finished. Had happened with me too where jio savn would just keep buffering. You can check your remaining data from the MyMG app. On the app go to my subscriptions-> Jio Data-> Jio Data Recharge. Here you will be able to see the remaining data.

Yes. I have a 70mai Dash Cam Pro carried over from my old car to the Windsor. The installation was straight forward, done by a professional at the place where I got my car's PPF done. The cable was routed for the cable was as follows:

Dashcam - A-pillar - behind glove box - inside center console (from under the plastic trim) - USB A socket in the center console.

Attaching a few images for reference. Since this requires no wire cutting or tapping into the car's fuse box, this should not void warranty.

Hi, can you share a Pic of the sill plates and the scuff plates. My dealer doesn't have them in stock and I'm just trying to see how they look. Maybe I can order from elsewhere.

Also, accessories markets still don't seem to make windsor specific mats yet. Quite surprising since it is over 6 months old model now and doing fairly well. Any suggestions for good mats online. I'm not too keen MG original ones

Stick to Eco+

Can stick to Eco+ for a greater range but we loose out on the fun of the instant torque and acceleration to overtake. I prefer the Eco over a little more range just for the fun aspect!

• Excite W38 13.5L

• Essense W38 15.5L, W50 16.5L
• Excellence W38 16.5L, W50 17.5L (new with ADAS, perhaps a spare wheel too).

Very nicely put up. MG should launch W50 with an aggressive pricing and let the other companies do the price corrections as always.
In addition to what you said, I wish to add that MG windsor hasn't came yet with an executive varient. Executive varient for ZS EV was the last to be launched. Windsor doesn't have any executive varient yet. I guess they have kept executive varient hidden as of now. They might launch it in the longer run to keep the competition active.
Coming to W50 varient. IMO MG is waiting for EVX to be launched first and then they can keep the pricing of W50 in accordance with the evx pricing. Don't really know what Maruti is thinking all this while.Maruti had a very good opportunity to launch in Holi and navratri offers. God knows what they are actually thinking. Too much waiting leads to bad impression.

An opposite theory says that W50 will not be launched now.
During auto expo Mr Parth jindal mentioned that MG has planned to launch new cars every 6 months. Going with the timeline W50 can be launched pre diwali also as M9 and cyberster are getting launch soon. If they launch too many cars in April- may itself, they will have to bring an entirely new car during sept - oct. Everything is dicey untill they launch their products

Thank you.

Fingers crossed on the EVX. I suspect Suzuki will price it for the European market, and aim to ship out most of the production volume. The India pricing may be high, reflecting this approach.

Prices will come down if the EVX is not received well in Europe, which is possible. Suzuki have a learning curve ahead about how to design and make a good EV. There's just too much baggage of the ICE design mindset and culture to unlearn for a legacy car maker.

The fact that EVX is based on a Toyota platform is also a reason for worry. Toyota are the world's best at making ICE vehicles, but their EVs so far have been half-hearted attempts that continue to fail in the market because they are simply uncompetitive. Not a reliable source of learning for EVs, unless you want a lesson in what not to do.

I encountered a strange issue today. I was out after charging my charge to 99% and I was on a highway. Suddenly, the accelerator pedal became lethargic (felt like car was turning off) while I slowed down and suddenly the tortoise mode sign started showing up on the instrument cluster. Then it vanished and again when I slowed down, the same thing happened. My battery percentage was 97 during that time this problem occurred. Does any one have any idea on what just happened ? Can anyone help me out with this issue

Hi ram7077,

After charging what speeds you were doing on the highway? I assume it to be in excess of 80 km/hr more likely on the north of 100 km/hr.

I took a look in to the MG Windsor EManual and it seems that this turtle mode icon is actually "Motor overheating warning indicator". I guess high speeds have overheated the motor.





Futher looking more into the manual, I found this:
"Keep the motor speed under 7000 rpm. Running at high speed for a long time may overheat and damage the motor."

This loosely translates to around 75 km/hr speed, which I feel is low for a proper EV car.



Do update us all here on service center response when you visit.

Interesting, for Tata EVs do not have any such warnings or disclaimers. Points to hidden cost cutting on part of MG, which the customer is then left to endure.

I have driven my Nexon EV at a sustained 120kmph for hours in 45 degree summer heat, with a DC fast charging session in between. Car didn’t throw any errors or warnings.

How does 7000rpm translate to 75kmph? Can you share any snippet?

Seems so.

I don't have any such proof. But I have verified this by switching the instrument cluster mode while driving and checking out the RPM at various speeds.
General rule seems to be "(Speed in km/hr - 5) * 1000". Anyone owning Windsor can confirm this easily.

Just to reconfirm, are you saying that the Windsor instrument cluster displays the motor speed? If yes, can you share an image of the same?

Actual motor speed is generally not displayed in most EVs in India.

Yes correct.

It shows Voltage and Current that motor is consuming as well apart from RPM.

I was driving very slow yesterday after charging my car. I can show you my smart drive details as well. When I slowed down, this happened. This happens twice and that too only when i slow down my car.

Yes, you can press inside, the right side steering control used for volume up and down and then you can navigate to tyre pressure menu and then then next you can see the motor rpm, motor voltage menu.
