I've managed to snipe a cancelled order with the exact spec that I was after (Tech). Now, seeing that VW reduced the set of trims available for order and hearing stories of people getting a wrong build delivered - is there an easy way to quickly check what is the spec of given ID3? I have a vague impression that VIN should contain this sort of stuff, but the online VIN decoders all seem like upsells for vehicle history reports... :)

The Tech is only one of two trims that had the panoramic roof, the other being the Family. The Tech should also have the Augmented Heads-Up Display. If your car has both, it's a Tech.

The myvolkswagen site has this information once you register your car but that only works after purchase.

That's interesting. My 2021 Max has a panoramic roof and the augmented HUD. What's the difference between the Max and the Tech I wonder?

Hi,
I got my Life Pro Performance last week.
No tinted windows, no keyless entry, no pause and play pedals, no camera, ...
The dealer is looking into it but can't explain what's wrong.
My Volkswagen comes up with "The vehicle equipment cannot currently be shown. Please visit this page again later."

When did you order the car? Until the beginning of 2022 Life spec did not include keyless entry or rear camera. They were added to the Life at the beginning of this year when all other specs were taken off sale.

That sounds like you've been done over as the Life spec of 2022 should come with all that. I'd be complaining and asking for the correct spec or some kind of compensation

Yes,
and I have the confirmation email from the dealer with the spec.
I’ll keep you posted.

Perhaps you've been given one that was a cancellation from 2021 in order to reduce the wait time. It would otherwise seem fairly incredible that you have already received the car. Good luck with the dealer, hopefully they'll be able to get you a different one on order or compensate you.

Google suggests the charge was on the 10th of feb. Out of interest how much did you pay. Think they jumped up to the £35k mark at the same time.

That would have been around September 2021 when I was looking at them. I don't think I still have the spec sheet, but I do remember there being inconsistencies between the printed document I got from the dealer and what was listed on the site, so it wouldn't surprise me that I'm wrong on the panoramic roof.

If I'm not mistaken, the only feature that Max has and Tech doesn't is dynamic chassis control.

Yes, that is true. Although mine is wrong.

On this point I just collected my Life ID3 yesterday. I ordered October 2021, it was built June 2022. But it does not have keyless entry or the rear camera., no tinted windows, older style trim. The only newer thing about it is it came with version 3.0 software from the factory.

Same here (collected last week). You have to use the keyfob buttons to lock and unlock the car - although I prefer that). No reversing camera sadly. Happy to avoid the blacked out window look though.

It’s a lease company car so I can’t tell you the cash price.
But I’ve seen the jump in price so need to find out the exact model to make sure the benefit in kind value is correct.
If the “model change” was on the 10th of February than I believe it is an “old” one that was pre-ordered.
The delivery date was given for late September/October but then I got the call last week.
