Re: ID.3 Family pro 4000 miles in....
It’s a heavy car and you feel that weight over bumpy roads. I’ve not driven another EV so not sure if others are better. I think you also notice that weight while braking, which doesn’t feel that great. But you get used to both of these. Tbh The infotainment has been pretty solid since 2.3 and I don...

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens
I emailed We Connect Support <weconnect-support@volkswagen.de> - they advised me to delete the app, restart my smartphone and reload app (version 1.39.1). Did all that - still doesn't work! It’s very likely a server issue. Also very likely the support teams haven’t been informed about that or when ...

Re: Your next car?
I am actually trading in my 2 year old ID3 for a Niro EV which I’m picking up within a couple of weeks. It’s pretty much the same size as an ID3 besides having a proper ‘nose’. The main negative of the Niro is a slowish charging speed, but that doesn’t bother me. It will be an interesting comparison...

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens
Emailed support - got the usual turn it off and turn it back on again which I tried just to be sure. Emailed them back and suggested they might have a wider issue. 5 mins later I got this “We apologize about the miscommunication in our previous email. We have since received an update regarding the ...

Re: WeConnect app shows blank-ish screens
Someone on Speakev claims they spoke to the German technical support who admitted the latest app is broken and they are working on a fix… Tbh it’s no great loss. I didn't claim to have spoken to Tech support in Germany, I did speak to them, and they said they knew of this issue. They also said &quo...

Re: Range reduction and heater use.
Useful. Thanks. On a similar theme if I want to push the usable range a bit during the winter what harm would I do if I charge to 100% as opposed to the recommended 80%? In winter with a long drive imminent I tend to charge overnight to 90%. Then plug-in in the morning to take to 100% before settin...

Re: ID.3 Incoming (Hopefully!)
Once you’ve sorted a few shortcuts and screen preferences, and had it a few weeks, thw infotainment isn’t that bad. Just slow to start up mainly.
It is a lovely quiet, comfortable, punchy drive.

Re: ID3 here we come!
I reckon in a regular car (petrol or diesel) I could've battered up the road a good bit quicker, used plenty fuel and would've been home by 18:00. It would've cost me about £80 and I would've released all sorts of CO and nasty particulates into the environment. Instead, I was almost 4 hours later, ...

Re: Osprey price increase
I think Osprey are simply trying to maintain some semblance of a bottom line. I don’t think they are being ‘martyrs’. Ministers of this government were crying not long ago about ‘the climate emergency’. Time for them to accept the science reality and step up. It isn’t just about their dogma or the n...

Re: Osprey price increase
I’m afraid we (UK) have a government of closet climate change deniers indulging themselves in right wing dogma. The ‘climate emergency’ is bottom of their list.
It’s going to be a grim couple of years.
Charge at home and dust the cobwebs off your granny chargers if you’re travelling!

Shocking.
I was going to drive to a Spain at Christmas but hey now I’ll fly. Just the incentive everyone needs to save the planet.
