It has gone into what parents of teenagers will recognise as 'sulk mode'. If you are lucky it may decide to come out of the garage and grab some electrons to eat before disappearing back inside.

Prepare to use the diesel mobile for a while.

You have to wonder what were their priorities when they designed the original when you read the words of Thomas Schafer: We’ve listened very carefully to the ID.3 community, and we’re bringing forward the facelift of our first MEB model to 2023. The new ID.3 is taking a significant and noticeable le...

Great for those people still waiting over a year for their original ID3... TBH I would rather get the car that I ordered than have to wait even longer for them to, yet again, stop production to update as they have done with MY22.5 and MY23. Also, I ordered the car because it had the body shape, siz...

This was really the reason I was keen to get the update but perhaps I was hoping for more on the winter consumption side than it promised.

Welcome to the club.

Great for those people still waiting over a year for their original ID3... It ewill be good to see VW move back to a decent level of ergonomics in their cars. I have to say that I hate the present system (but love the car) and look forward to seeing the new system. Perhaps it will be illuminated at ...

That's what we have to do.

What do you mean that they do sod all? If you turn the mirror control knob to the heating/folding icons they heat and fold. At least they do in our ID3.

We dropped off wife's ID3 dutifully as requested by dealer after booking t in several weeks ago. Left happily expecting a call the next day or so saying update completed but no, call was received 30 mins after dropping it off saying they had no batteries and VW can't say when batteries will be avail...

I do wonder if you are over thinking this whole rolling blackout thing.

Gailjon: Crikey! What were you doing with the car to have done over 165000 miles of driving ID3 in 1 - 2 years of driving? :shock: I'm presuming you added an extra zero on. :lol: Well, yes, it does look like I did! We do enjoy driving it but not perhaps that much! I wonder what the battery degradat...

Yes. Just have. Traded in my ID.3 after 6 months of deliberation. Being a nervous person the range anxiety was a real issue for me. It got so bad I was afraid to turn on heating or air con. I know this may sound irrational to some but we are all different and a max range of c 140 miles with the hea...

Have spoken to VW and that input registration number for ours and advised servicing is ever 2 years or 20,000 miles whichever comes sooner Like many others seems like a money gathering exercise but will need to complete to ensure warranty continuity especially given the problems we had in tge early...

How many cars roughly do these ships carry? And I'm guessing it isn't just vw on them?

I got mine back after a week and a control module replacement. Nothing major to note, other than the car feels a lot more sluggish than it used to. Now it's not as bad as an ICE but there's definitely not as much umph as it used to have. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is it on eco mode?

That's really weird isn't it? I wonder why the colour has changed. Is it discontinued?

No Manufacturer offers a like for like replacement courtesy car in the event of breakdown. From personal knowledge, even Bentley offer 'only' VW Toaurags too get you moving again.

Wow, now that is going to be a right pain, for the owners, as well as the dealers.

Morning, had my update done yesterday at Parkway, Kettering. Absolutely no problems, dropped off at 0730, collected at 1630. Had a little Polo as a courtesy car and I have to say I think I prefer the dash and layout to the one in my ID3. It had the digital cockpit and the infotainment was far more ...
