Re: Intelligent octopus and solar

I have solar, battery and the zappi it works well with intelligent octopus I set the zappi to eco plus and not to drain the battery, this allows only the excess to go the car. Intelligent Octopus in this instance is controlling the car and to work with eco mode I set it to bump charge. For the norm...

Re: 3.2 software update cancelled

Doh, got the dreaded call this morning. My update and battery check at VW Solihull on Monday cancelled due to the HV batteries being on back order, they will phone me when they are back in stock. The battery check is just that, a check. The availability of the HV battery has no relevance to the che...

Re: Selling ID.3

Just a quick update for anyone interested. Car went on with Motorway on Saturday, got picked up this morning. Such a simple process. The plus point was ended up getting £3k more for it than I paid brand new 4 months and 5k miles ago. Crazy. Now on the hunt for an M4 :) Even crazier... last week we ...

Re: Home charger cost effective or not?

Ok no problem, I’ve never met anyone who feels a public charger is there own. I've read comments online from people who leave their car charging at the supermarket while they're at their office down the road for 8 hours, or while going for lunch at a restaurant, or plug in then walk or cycle home.....

Re: General 2.3 OTA rollout to start

If you were to design an over the air update process from scratch, not many people would think that displaying warning messages that some of the car's assist systems were not functioning whilst the owner was driving was a good way to notify the driver that an important software update was happening...

Re: 145 PS Anyone ?

Hi guy's, Has anyone got a 145 PS ID.3 and want want to share any comments ? My dealer is telling me that only way to get a ID.3 using the government £2.5k grant is to go for either the Life with 207 PS or the Family with 145 PS. The car I test drove was a Business 207 PS, and I loved that, but jus...

Install a Zappi and set it to Eco+. It will only charge if there's surplus solar generation greater than 1.4kW. No solar panels? No surplus. ;)

Re: Horn question

Do you really need a powerful, dual tone horn? I can't remember the last time I actually had to use the horn, and assuming that the vehicle you need to honk at hears you, what is the issue with a single tone horn? As for being an embarrassment, do you really need to feel supported by the 'size' of ...

Re: Increasing the range while driving

It’s probably a bit moot as it’s largely software controlled. So coasting in D and then putting your foot gently on the brake to stop will not use the brakes but stop you on regen. Exactly the same as keeping your foot on the same position in B then lifting off to come to a halt. Yes, exactly my th...

Re: Increasing the range while driving

Unless I'm missing something, I can't see how regen can be different between D and B. Assuming that the braking needed doesn't involve friction and that the car is being slowed from the same higher speeds to the same lower speeds, then the conversion of the vehicle's kinetic energy into potential e...
