I went from 90% to 21% for 155miles, 75/25 motorway/slow roads I've never charged above 90%, even when touring North England and North Wales. One thing to note, hard acceleration and speeds over 60 are much more consumptive. I got over 200 miles driving from London to Chester on a 90% charge, but it...

great thanks

now I am worried about white van man having VW EV acceleration

Tires have a massive effect on fuel economy. You might want to research EV developed bad weather tires, but only if you think you really need them Michelin, for example, recommend their Pilot Alpin 5 for EVs: https://www.michelin.co.uk/auto/tyres/michelin-pilot-alpin-5?matchingArticleCAI=396776 Pire...

Just walked through our small village in North Yorkshire. I have and ID3 and now, so do 2 others in the village. Common as muck! LOL Up to the end of July VW had sold 144k globally, so a big success, but what did you expect !! VW, IMHO, was the first, and in some ways still the only car manufacture...

thanks. my experience of touring north wales and north england for a week in the ID3 with a family of 5 was a pleasure Which bits of North Wales if I may ask? We live in north london BTW Conway, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno We stayed in Chester, also went around North england to Liverpool, Speke, Wrexham ...

Easy derry are very special. the black laser cut is special. lots of people remark on mine

I had this. rebooted the infotainment system and never got again
not saying yours isn't an issue, but generally I have had a number of glitches and after reboot they have gone away
if it was a real problem it would stay after reboot

Not interested in using my car as a battery for the house or anything else. I prefer to maximise the life span of the battery and use it for driving. If I need a big battery at home I will buy a powerwall or something similar ...

This a long discussion:) I use Zappi with Octopus go, and since the equivalent fillup on my last ICE was £55 vs £1.5 on the ID3, I would say 17 fillups or so pay for the whole Zappi installation (mine was more expensive since my garage is at the end of my garden) As the car was delivered in July, th...

I ordered a granny charger from amazon and very pleased. It has a nice and informative display on it, and you can switch the amount of current it draws directly on it, in case you need to use it with an electricity system that cant handle the maximum of 16a (mine is set to 13). I only bought it beca...

We are are down to around 12 where I live, so not that cold. Haven't really noticed anything with range yet I do modify the heating temp to keep weak AC on, and ensure the heater is never on. I get around 3.7-4 at the moment, depending on the route. My wife is not so careful and likes heat, so she i...

Ordered a family pro last Sunday and in reflection should have tried one without the rear speakers Any body have a family without rear speakers on here ?? If so what's it like in the back audio wise My little girl is only 7 at the minute and likes to have music on in the car Funny before placing th...

Is there anyway of checking whether the first update has been installed ?

Most cars nowadays will tell you which setting you've changed it to in the driver display but in the ID3/ID4 you have to "guess" based on how far up/down the stick is. Maybe it requires a level of skill and I'll learn to master how to gently nudge it into the right position, like some sor...

Hi, We went with 5 of us (3 kids, 18, 16 and 8) around north wales and north UK and it was perfect. The interior space is like a tardis To address your issues: - Not a fan of the touch controls on the steering wheel and would much prefer physical buttons (even the ones on the Ioniq are nicer). Also ...

There is no chip problem I deal with the chip shortages in my daily professional life, though not in an automotive context. Respectfully, the chip shortages exist no matter how much you claim they aren’t. As to the impact on ID.3 builds, that I don’t know. there are chip shortages, although I under...

Thanks a lot guys. From the look of second hand prices I may well hold off a while once I’ve sold the ID.3 for prices to drop back to normal once the chip problem is resolved. There is no chip problem Manufacturers merely scaled back production during COVID and were caught unawares by the demand th...

It struck me that the cable supplied seems much more substantial than it needs to be. You'd think VW would have supplied the lightest possible cable - after all we're only able to draw 11kw from it (or actually 7kw in the case of my City, I think). I've already used mine a couple of times within th...

We picked our car up yesterday after ordering early June and the dealer was surprised how quick it was. It seems we got our order in just in time as they were saying waiting times are getting longer and longer. The dealer tried to order two ID3’s last week and delivery date was September - almost a...
