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...

Almost, I think it's 1st Edition, Life, Family, Tour, Max, Business etc are or were Trims. Pro refers to the Battery being 58kWh Performance is the 150kW motor but performance isn't badged and the 150kW motor only comes with 58 or 77 battery so will always be Pro? I think that means they all have P...

That may well be useful, thanks.
When you got out of the car, did you have to find a tree branch and give it a good thrashing? (BASIL!!!)

No, I used a rubber sword. Didn't want to scratch the paint

Hi, I have had two cases since I bought the car of major system warnings. I have solved both with the following procedure, which may or may not work for you My feeling is that the software is very complex and every so often it gets confused and just needs a reset, like a laptop The first time we wer...

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I would tell them that they can't use your charger. I mean, they might as well use your direct debit details for their electricity providers ? I dont mind lending mine to friends or neighbours as a once off emergency or hardship case, but thats it Remember its not jus...

You have probably tried this, but reboot the console (keep on button pressed for 20 seconds).
Switch the car off/lock it. Switched back on 5 mins later.

Yes

The vodafone is only £3 a month and I think I just read someone keeps it plugged in to a USB socket and it works fine all the time (this will recharge when the car is running and use the battery when off)

Will "we connect" ever show where the car is on a map ? I am thinking of buying a 4G tracker device Not sure whether to get one which connects to the 12 volt battery (is this safe on an electric car ?), e.g.: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TruTrak-FMT100-Vehicle-Tracking-Device-Black/dp/B08624P2...

So my question now is: over what time period does the ID.3 monitor consumption in order to calculate a predicted range? Does it depend on your driving pattern and driving conditions over the last hour, the last day, or what? I sure hope that the change from 360 to 243 does not reflect battery degra...

agree its specified under the free comfort pack with this model, rather then the standard options double check with your dealer to make sure! my life pro, delivered in July, came with all that I find the life close to perfection. To make it perfect I would have liked to be able to order separately: ...

Am i reading this right you did 133 miles and only dropped 20% that's over 600 miles on a full battery ?

whoops! Freudian slip

I meant 21% and 20% - have corrected above
