It's a new one to me actually, I had read some details somewhere previously but my initial google didn't get me to what I was looking for, but I remembered the 0.25g figure so added that to the search and that article came up.Daveion wrote: βSun Nov 07, 2021 10:10 am I dont recall that link before or maybe I was too low on the learning curve to take it in but it was really informative. I wonder if there is capacity in the hardware and firmware/SW to increase the G braking force with regenerative braking for those who would prefer B to be a little heavier one-pedal drive. Maybe in a SW update further along?
Is there a section in our forum for such useful links to be listed?
Hello from Norfolk
My previous 2010 C-class Merc also had a central info screen and displays behind the steering wheel with speed and stuff on it - bloody BMW copying those concepts for the i3
Column shifters have been on American cars for decades and the Honda Pilot mid 2000s had one and so did the Trabant, maybe the designers were East German?scott28tt wrote: βSun Nov 07, 2021 7:05 pm

Well it is built in the old Trabant works. Maybe going through left-over stock?

Aging myself (if I haven't already) but I remember going to London to the Earl's Court Motor Show and seeing one of those.. wow!! (Probably 1976, the last show at Earl's Court.) I'm sure we also went to Heathrow to see Concorde.

I'm happy as larry now with B mode. I would say my breaking has gone from 100% all the time (previous ice car) to only breaking 20%. I don't have a problem with creeping when you stop, just a hard press on the break puts it into auto hold.

Oddly enough I had a similar experience at the Norwich Branch of that VW dealership ! I then went to my local(ish) Branch in Lowestoft and had completely the opposite reaction. friendly greeting from receptionist and teh Motability Specialist was really helpful. We arranged an extended test drive (3 hours) and within a couple of days I then ordered a tour from them. We agreed that I would not bug him with pointless requests for updates and a little while ago I got an email from him telling me that they now had a tour as a demo car and that I was welcome to pop over and have a looksee at it and take it for a quick spin if needed. On the whole I am very pleased with the different attitude in Lowestoft to that of the large Norwich Branch.JPeasmold wrote: βSat Nov 06, 2021 9:46 pm Hello everyone, I'm from deepest Norfolk. Hopefully in February I will be driving a new 77kWhr Tour.
I just left after having a look at the ID4 (conclusion, much bigger externally, but internally not much different to the ID3, just has a bigger boot). Didn't eel guilty anymore, as there is zero chance I'd have handed Β£40k over to that lot for anything!

Column shifters in the 80' PAH! what about column shifters on the zephyrs / zodiacs from the 50's-60's and the ford thames vans from the same period (the column gear changes were somewhat unreliable and used to jam regularly) Also are you aware that the ID3 is built on the site of the Trabant factory?G43FAN wrote: βMon Nov 08, 2021 8:01 amColumn shifters have been on American cars for decades and the Honda Pilot mid 2000s had one and so did the Trabant, maybe the designers were East German?
