        How much is the atto3 drive away? I thought the geely ex5 was the the best in this price range, but it's like 43 + on roads… Which is like $10k more than this, and it's not insignificant.

        just had to make this choice recently. went with the Atto 3 as it's all around better car, but doesn't have physical AC controls. Argh. The upcoming EX5/Sealion7/G6 don't have physical controls either. Argh.

          Sealion 7 the ac adjust is three finger swipe left and right for fan speed and up and down for temp. It is quite inuitive but not as adjustable as having a dial on each zone in front of you.

      BATTERY LIFE: maybe in 5 yrs time, we'll have a better understanding of the longevity of this NEW-technology, variations of Li-ion chemistry, compromises (eg weight vs range vs power) etc etc etc.

      Smart phones have been around for 1 decade: why do MANY-users experience short battery life after 1 year considering the HOMEWORK they've done…this apply since day 1: a decade ago ?

      Sure, EV batteries will last longer than 5 years, but after-that is UN-known…can anyone be certain of their EV range from the 5th to 10th years: relative to quoted Worldwide Harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure ? Can owner choose range & longevity ?

      Hint: EV is VERY high-tech, similar to your GPU/PC/mobile-phone…with lots of POSITIVE write-ups. Many brand are trying to exploit this NEW-frontier 🧐🤔

      A different 'LNMC' battery (Lithium nickel manganese cobalt chemistry, instead of the more common lithium iron phosphate) is the main difference here, adding an extra 20 kilowatt-hours worth of battery into the equation for some extra driving range.

          Just because there's a warranty doesn't mean all issues magically get fixed, certainly not without alot of BS and inconvenience. If you've got the time to fight every repair and they don't go out of business, yep it could still be going in 10 years time (or sitting at dealer waiting to be repaired again).

                @SYLTB: Unless they can justify the 2 months, a remedy the small court may suggest is a loan or rental car charged to MG until the car is fully functional.

                @SYLTB: I hate to say it but @PainToad is right. The number of successful court case of users for warranty claims is probably very slim. And even if you win it's seems a lot of effort - autoexpert has a case of a gwn ute rusting out and the user suing the company and only willing 85%(?) of the car value. (How much effort and stress??)
                I also heard of ppl buying great wall and then having to wait a long time for repair as replacement parts are not available.
                You got to go into this with eyes wide open and realistic expectations.
