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...

Funny, we bought the Id3 as we found it is the best looking EV, and one of the best looking cars full stop

Guess everyone has different taste

Definitely doesn’t look like a Bentley suv if you like that sort of thing

We collected this afternoon so delayed by 5 days but at least we have it. Dealer gave some interesting insights today - up to a year lead time on cars and 80% of sales are ID3/4. We could sell our car tomorrow for several thousand more than we paid today as demand is so strong! Congrats To be hones...

You can buy lighter cables, eg 3m and coiled.
It's worth having one in the car just in case.

I think there should be a sale sub-forum here, and these shouldn't be in the main forum. Worth contacting an administrator

I read today that many car manufacturers cancelled chip (and other component) orders during the pandemic as they expected orders of new cars to plummet and they didn't want to be stuck with excess stock on the shelves. They've been caught on the hop as new car orders have instead kept strong and ha...

Well done on the second hand price

Your ID3 will also probably be worth more the day its delivered

When I bought the car it was an average 20-30 c. It's now dropped to 10-18 c, however my range hasn't changed. After 4 months it's still saying 220 miles or so for a 90% charge, which I find quite accurate if I control my right foot Just wondered what other folk are getting as estimated by the car f...

Hi I'm waiting on a 150 Family Pro Performance which was supposed to be coming at the end of this month, but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm looking at the various home charger options. I was initially thinking of Hypervolt, but Zappi and Ohme also appealed. I don't have solar panels so that's o...

Congrats. Worth waiting for

It seems "Dicky" (not Dishy) Rishi may cancel the £2500 EV grant in his budget. What if he pulls it straight away and not allow existing orders to benefit, would people cancel their orders or accept paying the extra £2,500? It equivalent to c7% price increase. I bet VW would then increase...
