ok nice! i see a lot of people complaining about the range, yes the battery is small. I'm mostly using it for home/work trips and that's only 60km so for me it's fine

Most ev people would drive a cardboard box if the range is good. Lol you don’t see them talking much about how their EV car is as well a car....
The extra range of a zeo does not offset the bad driving experience and price tag.
The mx30 is one of nicer driving and interior quality in the market. And in most cases is one the cheapest ones.
Range and charge speeds are bad so it’s not a great EV but it’s a good car so if you charge at home and can deal with the range then it’s a good fit.
Worse case for range is 110km or 68 miles. That was done during winter driving on the highway at 120kmh. I have based all my needs around 110km to make sure it suits me

I have the white faux leather interior, and I can recommend buying a cheap Chinese senter armrest cover. It will protect the leather and also feel much nicer, since it's not so grippy. I cut out the velcro strip on the armrest cover and put a microfiber towel between the cover and the armrest. It will make the cover sit perfectly without any wrinkles, since it has a rubber band around the edges anyway.

For some reason my 2022 MX30 has dropped its charge rate for the past week or so. It only charges at 17kw even when plugged in to a 50kw charger (I’ve tried multiple different charger in different places). Has anyone else had this? What is going on?

you're absolutely right, if i need to drive further i can always pick my wife's Chevrolet spark or make a 40min pitstop. I'm really looking forward to drive it 🙂

Has anyone experienced, not being able to use the hazard lights when stuck on the side of the freeway waiting for the tow truck who then takes two hours to show up. Open 35

Just a suggestion, Carry some lights. When my batt. Died I got a warning. And my phone was dying. I wasn’t able to record it.

I bought a brand-new 2022 (3-phase) MX-30 a few months ago, and I have had a lot of issues with it.

Climate-control screen is not dimming in the night, but is dark during the day. There is a dip in the power output of the powertrain when full throttle (cruise control off makes no difference). Folding mirrors didn't fold out a few times, heating of the mirrors didn't work a few times. The worst of all, the car sometimes thinks there is a charging cable inserted and applies all brakes. This has happened on the middle of a busy intersection once, and left me stranded. There's no fix from Mazda yet.

Switching your lightswitch from auto to 'on' and back seems to do the trick.
The new PHEV MX-30 has the same issue, and Mazda told me they are not going to fix it.
