18” Cross Climate 2 Load Index

Getting the Bridgestones replaced with Cross Climate 2 but can’t get the 95 load index to match. Although Michelin do them stock is a problem. I have been offered 99 Load index versions. From reading around I don’t think there is any issue in going up from an risk/ insurance point of view but I know...

Re: 3.0 Software update

Having liked the EV experience so much with the ID.3 we got a secondhand i-pace as our second EV. The economy on it is not great but the software is night and day compared to the ID3. On the day we got it there was an OTA update, no hassles. I just don’t get how VW can be so bad and beaten by much s...

Re: Tyre Wear

Bridgestones holding up fine on our ID3, have not got the tread gauge out yet but visually they look a couple of mm above the tread wear indicator after almost 6k miles. For the ones that are wearing could it be a car fault or driving style? I recall seeing the early model S ate tyres due to an issu...

Re: Delivery time

Hi Utumno, Sorry to see there is still no movement on your order, but congratulations on ordering your Tesla. I got a call from my VW dealer last week to tell me the good news that I am now code 20, build date mid May (ordered July 2021) 😆. I'll be giving him a call back to cancel as today this bea...

Re: 2022 ID3 Production Sold Out

Considering getting the replacement for the one we have just got ordered now for delivery in early 2023.
With such long lead times I can’t see it depreciating that much in the interim.

Re: Skoda does the user interface so much better

Yes it is a nope from me as well. Way too much to wait for a year on for the reasons you suggest.

So glad we got the order in for the ID.3 when we did.

Skoda does the user interface so much better

Had our ID.3 Family Pro for just under a month now and absolutely love it, have put a thousand miles on it and so far no issues and it was one of the delayed builds that probably sat waiting for chips. We like the car so much that our other car has sat almost static in the drive since we got it. Eve...

Re: Delivery time

Why didn’t you just keep the order open and then sell it straight away?
Picked up ours last week, love it, but did a wbac to see what it was worth - about 3k more than we just paid for it.

Re: pro performance - first impressions

Good review - also 3 days in. We have the regular Pro and I am also VERY impressed with it. Our other car is a G31 BMW 530d xdrive which is the car Clarkson said not that long ago was all you need. It truly is a great car and rapid but the ID3 makes it feel old tech. Noticeable when I got back into ...

Re: Delivery time

Update me on the spreadsheet as well, picked up this evening. Ordered end of June. So far so good. Ours is ID3 is a family pro with 145 bhp and it is more than adequate on acceleration , something I was very worried about (our other car is a G31 530d Xdrive so used to considerably more performance)....

Re: Wheel size

On my other car, BMW, I downsize for winter wheels.
No issues at all with the insurer so long as to a spec the manufacturer would offer. If it is change your insurance company.

Re: Delivery time

So after calling the dealer it turns out our car is arriving on Tuesday and we should get it next Thursday or Friday. Turns out original salesman is no longer with the dealership so that explains the non existent follow up. Original order date was the end of June. At least we are getting it in cold ...

Re: Delivery time

Update from me, finally called the dealer today. Salesman has off work for a while and is still out so that may explain lack of update. Apparently the car is at the docks waiting shipment, they said may get it this month but I am not so sure. Order placed end if June, in the system early July. Origi...

Re: Delivery time

Original build week 37, order placed end of June. We have not heard anything from the dealer since July but to be fair they did say it would be November at the time of ordering. Not hassling them as my experience of most car sales people over the years is they are not interested once the sale is mad...

Re: If government grant pulled, will you cancel?

No chance of cancelling, waited too long and given the price rise and long lead times I expect when it does arrive it will be depreciation free motoring for a year. Delivery times are not going to come down quickly and the high used prices at the moment also have that baked in. If we like it when we...

Re: 145 PS Anyone ?

Agree zero chance VW will offer over the air updates. Not the way the company work, they are in recovery from the diesel issues. We opted for the 145 admittedly out of my ignorance in not realising the gov grant would have also been available on the 200 even after options. Dealer did try to upsell t...
