Re: ID.3 Family - Max - Tour to be dropped
So why is the Tour configurator now working again? False alarm?

Re: Sold back my ID.3 after a year
I did use to charge it to 100% quite often, and especially before a longish trip. I obviously don’t have the manual anymore, but it states for optimal battery health to only charge to 80% (unless you’re going to do a long trip) and not let it go below 40% in cold conditions. It’s winter just now in...

Re: Sold back my ID.3 after a year
3) In the cold weather for battery maintenance it suggests not letting the charge drop below 40% and not to charge it to 100% the majority go the time. This equates to about a 72 mile range in the winter for me. I don't understand this. There's no reason not to charge to 100% if you use the car soo...

Re: Sold back my ID.3 after a year
You might be correct but I have also read on here that you cannot charge and pre-heat at the same time, which is clearly incorrect. In the manual, on page 257 it says "Use the stationary air-conditioning in good time to improve comfort and performance ". It seems illogical to me that if yo...

Re: Sold back my ID.3 after a year
You can also pre-heat the car before departure. I have just charged my car at the local Tesco. While charging, I switched on the A/C with We Connect ID. The heating came on and the charging dropped to about 15mph initially and then recovered to 6kw. I will do this now before a long journey in this w...

Re: Heating car
If the heater In an ID.3,would it not give you more winter mileage if you bought a 150w portable heater and plug it into the 12v socket in the boot? If you're feeling a bit chilly, turn your heated seat on. If I've read previous threads on this subject correctly, the power for them comes from the 1...

Re: ID3 range-ometer just cannot be believed
I am charging my ID3 (58kwh) at the moment and getting a range of 185m at 80%. The range drops more quickly than you would expect at the start of the journey to warm the battery but after a certain time that ceases when the battery reaches temperature. I would agree with you about the M11. I drove f...
