So would I.

Advertised for spring, later than hoped for by many no doubt.

If we're in a position where we need to give back our car's charge at peak times then our national grid is truly screwed. Might be useful for caravanners/campers to use some of that power out and about if they don't need the range. V2H is more relevant. Charge at night on a cheap tariff or at lunch...

Absolutely. It kicked in at very low level when I started in the morning, which surprised me, but stopped very quickly.

It's still less than what I got in Italy at 35 degrees C, so colder weather has an impact even before the battery heater kicks in.

Long trip to the West Country again today. Temp 12-13.5 degrees C. Range based on consumption over almost 300 miles, including a solid mix of 70mph motorway, 50/60mph A roads and an hour and change of London traffic equals to 270 miles or 80% of brochure.

Can we keep this thread to track when members of the forum receive an invite from their dealer to bring in their rides?

Nothing here yet. Marshall Loughton.

Yeah, it's not great. I raised it with my councilor. Let's see.

I am going to find out what the situation with the 'resident' offer is for people like me who live in a car-free development and are not entitled to a resident permit. Will post outcome here.

Some major changes - switch from per minute to per kWh charge with idle fee after 5 minutes - Night-time cap removed, but no idle fee midnight to 7am (same effect) - differentiated pricing model with price hikes for some user classes (previous implied charge on typical 7kWh charger was ca. 29p/kWh) ...

Funny. This is what what my first car looked like. Loved it, even though you had to get out and whip it up the hills on the motorway to Kassel.

Its the battery heater that uses loads of juice (8-10kw) for the first 10-20 min from a sub 11 degree start. 10kw for 15 min = 2.5kwh, or approximately 5% of a 57kwh battery.. So every completely cold start you do will take a big chunk - and this is then reflected in your consumption. The newest mo...

Snow chains for London? Are you Michael Fish? P.S. No idea about snow chains but I asked my DTD dealer about a quote for winter tyres and he told me to go to a tyre specialist. I am likely going to Italy over Christmas to see family, and where they are snowchains in the boot are mandatory Nov to Ma...

I'm on the £7.99 subscription and I am loving it. The Italy trip alone paid for two years of it.

Been looking around, Halfords doesn't do anything. I understand they need to be suitable for low-clearance wheel arches. Snowchainstore does König CB-7 but at £135 they look expensive. Anyone got recommendations? Interestingly, VW doesn't do them through their dealers. They also can't get winter tyr...

Always hard to compare but it was at fully comp about 200 pounds less than my A4 2.0 TFSI was in 2018 on 2rd party fire and theft.

If they manage the recall the way they manage software updates, I'll have sold mine before I see a replacement battery.. (or should that be mis-manage) The 'Poor deal' I referred to was the overall experience, release software to 2.1 via dealership, bricked cars etc etc, although the 'Integrated da...
