Re: Software update UK
The ‘Offline’’ problem occurs occasionally and is usually a VW backend problem. (My ID3 is 18 months old and I’ve had it 3 or 4 times, worse outage 1 week). I don’t believe anyone can do anything to resolve the issue besides the central VW software infrastructure bods. And we know how good they are…...

Re: Software 3.1
Saw that. Some welcome additions.
Shame the map doesn’t show charging points clearly and consistently. Same with the WeConnectWeCharge app maps.

Re: Brake Lights are distracting
This can happen if you are in B mode and are on the threshold of completely lifting for a while - usually on a steady down slope. (I followed my wife in our ID3 and noticed it). Not sure it’s dangerous, a little annoying sure. Can’t say I’ve generally noticed it, so maybe VW need to make some adjust...

Re: Driving in Spain / France
Just go to the main screen (with all icons), then ‘Settings’, then ‘Units’. It then lets you change distance, speed etc to km.

Re: Driving in Spain / France
I think you should be fine with WeCharge and Octopus Juice. importantly giving you Ionity and Allegro (for France). I would personally do a large charge before entering Spain as it is patchier there.
I am off to southern France, Germany in 2 weeks.
Just checking on the miles to km malarkey.

Re: Do you follow VW advice on battery charging?
A related question: I have a long drive on Friday and will set off about 10am. What would be the real impact if I charged to 100% in the Octopus Go window? Ie have 100% charge from 04.30 to 10.00? That is outside the Octopus Go window. I personally would charge to say 85% up to the end of the Octop...

Re: Do you follow VW advice on battery charging?
For pottering around home I very rarely go below 30% and I charge to 80%.
When I’m on the road I will do anything necessary charging wise to have a comfortable drive and reduce stress.
A few exceptions are not going to make much difference.

Re: Journey advice - charging
Of course the 2030 EV milestone only applies to new car purchases. So we may end up with a 2 tier system with those with drives having newer EVs and those without having older ICE cars. Likewise those doing a lot of business miles may keep an older ICE car because if the high cost on ‘on the go’ cha...

Re: Tyre Wear
Michelen Cross Climates have always been great for me. But I haven’t had them on my ID3 yet!
My Conti’s on 19inch rims had 3mm left on the rears after 12,000 miles…

Re: Journey advice - charging
If governments really accept that there is a climate emergency they should be actively and urgently intervening to subsidise or to develop a low cost nationalised charging ‘backbone’.

Re: New wecharge prices
This is mine, £5.99 for We Charge Go.
Are we seeing yet more over-complication and disorganisation??
Ps. I’d just come off the free 1st edition juice before this contract.

Re: Id3 battery degradation (Preliminary data)
Ive had 5 adults and dog in the boot of my ID3 for a number of longish runs. It was fantastic. I’ll have a look at the new Megane EV when it’s out but I can’t imagine it could do anything approaching that in comfort… The ID3 is a very good car. A bit more efficiency especially at motorway speeds and...

Thanks Sidehaas! So my local Osprey says 52.3p per kWh no start up fee. My nearby Leeds Recharge Alfa Power (at Bristol st motors) is £1.27 per kWh (lolz). Instavolt isn’t on We Charge is it?

Re: New wecharge prices
Could you link to or post the screenshot here? I am on WeCharge Go @&5.99 a month since 18th March. I have charged on Osprey after signing up and was charged 42p. I think the card didn’t work on a recent instavolt so I used a credit card. Basically I signed up for a European tour in May where I ...

Re: Id3 battery degradation (Preliminary data)
Some interesting stuff in there. Obviously some issues with current ID3 motorway performance due to mainly higher than expected drag and to a lesser extent some power train component issues. But urban driving excellent performance. They will do similar with an M3 and compare. That will be interesti...
