Re: Drastic range drop after V3.2

Service team called yesterday. Advised that this is normal. It was in for 4 days and the car will have been sitting with the ignition on for a lot of that. The technician said that the car will recalibrate the miles based on inactivity. Advised that it should be back to normal by early next week. If...

Re: Trip computer?

I find 'since start' works for me. It does reset overnight but seems to hold the figures most of the day. It also has time driving, miles and average mille per HW/hr. if you say call ID and ask for tripmeter it takes you there.

Re: Why did you get an ID.3?

I have had 3 Astras on the bounce and they have been OK, but nothing spectacular. I was not impressed by the Electric Corsa, but it was the cheapest mainstream option available. Once I had a test drive I lost interest. The ID3 is a lot more than I would usually pay for a car, but I'm so glad I bough...

Re: Why did you get an ID.3?

I was very close to buying an electric corsa, but I couldn't decide. I then had a test drive of an ID3 and it was obvious it was a game changer. The price was around £28, 500 with discounts and I made the leap. Best decision I have made. Love the car and range is very impressive. Yes, there are mino...

Re: Miles per KW

Most of my driving is in B mode , as advised by the guy in the showroom. Not sure this is the best thing for the car, but it does regenerate a fair bit of power. Very rarely use footbrake. Keen to understand the most effective and efficient way to drive the car, but can't see any details out there.

Miles per KW

I am assuming the figures in the charging /data screen is accurate. Anyone know for sure? I have had my ID3 for just over a month and the stats suggest I am getting 4.6 miles per KW over the 1215 miles I have driven. I would suggest this is quite good, but I would be interested on what others are ge...
