For the first time in a long time I'm car-less! My 2014 Leaf 24kWh went off to its new owner yesterday, whilst I wait for the delivery of my ID.3.
I've got a Life Pro in Moonstone on order, and was told it should be delivered in September (which feels like an eternity already!)
Ordered it just over 2 weeks ago, and it was a car the dealer had ordered for stock, hence the shorter than usual wait time.
Will hopefully get the VW order number this week so I can track it myself, rather than pestering the dealer every other day.
In preparation for the arrival I've got a list of things to get:
- a type 2 tathered cable to replace the old type 1
- mats
- boot liner
- mud flaps
Also thinking about getting the windows tinted.
Car free... Hopefully not for long!

If you haven't got any extras ordered, that sounds like the same car I have been told will be available in September. Let's hope it's not THE same car!Blackeunos wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 7:22 am For the first time in a long time I'm car-less!

Just out of interest, why did you go for the Pro and not the Pro Performance? If it's financial, fair enough. Every review I have watched about the ID3 has used a Pro Performance.

The VW all-weather mats are very good if you wanted rubber rather than carpet.
If you want a full boot liner to protect the back of the rear seats and the carpet sides of the boot, I would recommend this if you have the boot floor in the lower position: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1
I went for a Pro instead of PP - and 3-4 weeks in don’t regret it. Plenty of poke for what I need (even fully laden up for family hol).
I figured I didn’t need the extra power for £1200…
See how much it costs to upgrade when the OS and app allow this…

In my case I went for the pro because a) it was available this side of the next millennium and b) I was up against my budget ceiling and there comes a point where you can’t find anything more per month.Scratch wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:24 amIf you haven't got any extras ordered, that sounds like the same car I have been told will be available in September.

Just didn't see the point in paying another £1200 for acceleration that I don't need, I was more concerned with the range.Scratch wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 8:24 am If you haven't got any extras ordered, that sounds like the same car I have been told will be available in September.

I like the look of the VW rubber mats, so might go for them.
I've been looking at the flaps and boot liner from Torque Alliance https://www.torque-alliance.com/collect ... ccessories , which is primarily Tesla accessories, but they've got a few bits for the ID.3.
