Re: end of PCP/ missing items query

I am on my second ID.3 and both came with a type 2 charging cable. Neither came with a granny charger though if that is what you mean.

Re: Software Update

Does nobody read the information displayed with the update? It was the digital manual, as was clearly shown. Haven't been in my car last couple of days and am on 3.7 so not sure if I will get the update or not. Regarding the messages though it really shouldn't be difficult for the car to be able to...

Re: ID.3 GTX

I like that they have found a solution to having the bigger battery AND having 5 seats. I'd be more likely to go for the bigger battery option now.

Re: Incorrect range shown in App

I haven't had the issue with the incorrect range showing in the app for quite a few weeks now. Used to get it quite regularly. Would be nice if they have actually fixed it.

Re: Sold my ID3

There's no solution to the issue of car out of warranty, except extend the warranty at your cost. I won't be doing this, its a risk I'm happy to take. Rob I traded my 1st Edition in and got another brand new ID.3 with 3 years warranty. By the time that expires some ID.3s will have been around 6+ ye...

Re: Sold my ID3

Then my neighbours first edition told him to exit the car and call emergency services … they sent 3 engines, thermal imaging found no heat so it was a sensor , but his car is in a queue of 150 cars waiting for a new cell , the offending sensor was a £1400 part and it was just out of warranty, he ha...

Re: Test drove a 1st Edition at the weekend...

I replaced my ID.3 1st Edition with another new ID.3 in November last year. As said above no car is perfect and some of the features (e.g. haptic buttons, too many screen presses rather than one physical button/dial, etc) do really annoy me but they are not the end of the world. I like that it is gr...

Re: VW ID3 – 4 MONTHS IN

That's an excellent and very complete overview.
I am 3 years and 1 month into my EV driving experience and on my second ID.3 now and wouldn't disagree with anything you have written.
Oh, and personally, I don't think it is worth giving the voice control another try!

Re: Software Update

Bit puzzled by this bit : "3. At the same time, we are working on the finalization of the ID. Software 3.7 OTA update (replacing the previous 3.5)." as the software version on my car already says it is on 3.7, which followed an OTA update a day or too after I picked it up in November last ...

Re: Humming noise above 60 mph

I have noticed a quite faint but noticeable humming noise in my facelift ID.3 which I don't think was there when I got in November. I mostly notice at lower speeds where there is less road noise and it seems to me it is coming from behind me on the passenger side so the rear passenger side wheel is ...

Re: Chat GPT integrated in to new VW cars

Existing cars meaning those with 4.0 software like the facelifted id.3/new id.7/etc. Old cars will not get it. Basically when the vw voice control fails to understand what you’re on about it will send request anonymously to ChatGPT and reply when it gets the answer back, I assume it will be transpa...

Bloody hell Scratch, thats interesting, but prob not a surprise against a Tesla. Would that be different against another VW?

Re: Help please re OTA or dealer upgrade

At the risk of further confusing the original poster, but just as a general fyi, my brand new facelift ID.3 which I picked up early in November came with 3.5 and now tells me it is on 3.7. There was a small OTA update the day after I got it but no others that I have noticed since. Can't say I have n...

Re: Cover for Charging

I saw a review for a car recently where the charge port cover was hinged to open upwards, rather than to the right. Such a simple thing but would be so much better.
