i read you need to step on accelerator if it stopped for too long?

Yup. If stop more than 3 secs, u need to lightly tap accelerator or flick the button to start moving. Normal for other car brand as well.

My friend which is also sales advisor of Proton Edar said that he can get Executive/Premium spec within 6 weeks and flagship spec within 8 weeks provided you are not choosy about colors available.

Just want to share some info regarding wind noise in X50.

There are 2 types of wind noise:
(1) High pitch whistling noise
- Source: Tweeter area
- Not all X50 experience this issue, if you do not hear any whistling noise, good for you.

- Solution: Bring this issue up to your preferred SC, they will insert foam/sound insulation material in your tweeter, FOC. I did mine at Proton Kelana Jaya, no whistling noise now. If you want to DIY, then you can refer to earlier comment where someone shared on putting 2 layers of rubber seal at the front of the door panel, but might abit of an eye sore if you notice it (and that's just my opinion. might look fine to you).

(2) Wind turbulence (I might be wrong about the term here, but I can try to describe the noise that sounds like you're at the beach), when you are driving at >80 or >100 km/h
- Source: Upper side of the window, caused by wind turbulence from side mirror (reportedly by members)
- ALL X50 experience this

- Solution: No official solution as of now, but there are news that Proton has found a solution and will implement this tentatively September 2021.

- Temporary aid to the issue shared by members (reduce wind noise (2) slightly only, do not expect big improvement):
i) Install door seal along your door frame / silicon tubing in your door rubber seal
- Idea is to making it air tight, preventing wind seeping into the cabin while driving at high speed

ii) Install aero fins / vortex generators / fairing body kit on the outside of the triangular side mirror frame.
- Idea is to create vortex, deflect wind slightly downwards

iii) Install visor
- Someone shared installing these will reduce wind noise, but I'm not sure are they referring to wind noise (1) or (2). But installing visor will create another case of wind turbulence, I personally do not recommend this (but who am I to recommend stuff?), so you can of course try them if you are curious and willing to.

iv) Inserting sponge and better tape at the front and at the top end of the door panel rubber wrap
So if you encounter ppl sharing solution in Facebook, to insert insulation material in your tweeter to solve the wind noise, take note it will only solve the whistling noise, not the turbulence noise. Cheers  cheers.gif

Just came upon this post on Google and I just collected my wife's x50 and was told until now no solution to the wind noise from driver side.

Not sure whether the current batch is still same or not. I have been hearing latest batch has resolved/reduced the turbulent wind noise but there are also claims that the noise is still there. Not only that, there are previous claims that Proton will release "fix" to the problem by Sept 2021, but until now nothing from them.

The explanation from proton is that the side mirrors aren't aerodynamic. Hence the wind noise. I think it's bs. I'm a car guy and I know there's a fuck up somewhere at the door

Different of etiqa vs po, u pay full first for Etiqa then after certain time show them what your usage mileage hence getting the cashback. Po u pay 5k km mileage first then top up if u need it. If don't u will convert to 3rd party insurance once hit more than the capped mileage

I rather go with Etiqa, at least claims with them less hassle.

I'm not sure about PO, anybody has experience with claims from them? Was it a good experience?

x50 wind noise memang that side mirror shape issue.

but that two mirror really have issue on view angle.
