Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Re Octopus, As others have said you need either a compatible car or a compatible charger to get on intelligent octopus. The Id 3 is now supported if you have the latest firmware V3.x. The ohme home pros are also supported and allow you to connect any ev car (because the ohme controls the charge sess...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Previously when cars are 'stuck' at checkpoint 7 normally means the car is built but is missing some parts (eg HUD, or heat pump, or whatever it is) and will be refitted with that when it's available, to complete the build.

Re: For octopus customers

Go is now listed as variable and not fixed. My renewal has no end date. Oh I hadn't realised they'd changed it (go to variable), I'll be interested to see what options they 'offer' me as my renewal notice should be coming soon, But if IO is 2p cheaper and 2hrs longer I'll probably switch if that's ...

Re: For octopus customers

>Looking at the rates I will wait until my Octopus Go term comes to an end as I currently have better rates on this and the 4 hours window is sufficient I've come to the same conclusion, my Octopus Go rate ends in late march so I'll likely switch to Intelligent then. Currently my Go overnight rate i...

I only seem to get updates when I ask them first never proactively.

Re: Delivery time

This is my first experience dealing with VW .... Currently it just smacks a bit of VW not giving a cr*p. VW is simply at capacity. I am sure there are lots of reasons for cars being delayed, but basically when ordering an ID you should just know that it's a 1-2 year wait and sit back. If that's not...

Re: Further reduction in the number of variants [of ID models]

oh dear, it says "functions on demand" and "aiming at gaining additional revenue" that sounds very worryingly that they may be going down the BMW style subscriptions, eg so you want heated seats, £5pm extra, electrically adjustable mirrors £5pm extra, auto headlights £5pm extra e...

Re: Delivery time

Been into the dealership today and told my car, ordered September 23rd last year, will not be built before next May….and cannot guarantee that time schedule. Same old talk about lithium shortages etc, but other manufacturers can offer much shorter wait times. What’s happened to VW? Pro S in glacier...

Re: Delivery time

Ordered my Pro S a year ago next week. Despite two calls to the dealer, they have not got back to me. All I want is an approximate time for delivery. On the plus side the price is guaranteed and hopefully it will come with the latest software. maybe try contacting VW customer services (you can do i...

Re: Delivery time

My car arrived in the UK last Wednesday and I am picking it up on Thursday this week 🥳 🥳 😁 😁 If anyone is still updating the tracker - please can you update me! Cool! Mine arrived on the same day. Dealer reckons I won’t get the car ‘til next week though. Not sure when they’re likely to receive. bot...

Re: Delivery time

My week 34 is apparently at Emden port of exit. Is anyone tracking ships? I see Malacca Highway at Emden bound for Sheerness, is this going to bring some VW cars? Mine is still showing confirmed build week 34 but it has never been updated despite us now being in week 36. Good news for you at least....

Re: Well, I was going to be new owner today, but......

This is something that concerns me too, I flagged it with my dealer ages ago. Apparently all grant applications are automatically suspended after 9 months, VW then has to contact the OZEV office to reinstate it. At 12 months the grant is cancelled. so this should be ok and its up to your dealer and ...

Re: Delivery time

I picked up my new ID3 yesterday. I tried to have the registration delayed until the 1st of September to get the new number plate. I was told that the car must be registered within 10 days. So missing out on a new ref plate by 4days. Anyone else have this problem ? ive heard before that VW require ...

Re: Delivery time

it would help if VW at least provided some genuine/honest reasons for the delays, and didn't just keep re-posting the same its really, really, really not our fault excuses letter over and over (I've received exactly the same letter several times from them now. ) but instead they're just slopey-shoul...

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

my partners id.3 was booked in @VW (Nuneaton) today for the 2.4 update, but on arrival was told they didn't want to do it as the two cars they'd attempted to update on Friday were now both dead & un-driveable. (why they waited for us to take the car in this morning rather than phoning us to canc...

Re: Delivery time

Hi Liam

congratulations your id.3 looks great :-) i really like the moonstone grey and the alloys too.

(it maybe worth editing your pics to blur the registration number)
