After being told that I could be in for a three to four week wait I got the car back after two weeks so can't complain too much. Turns out the ECU for the heating/cooling had failed which I assume gets flagged as an "electric drive failure" as it can't heat or cool the traction batteries.
Hopefully that's the only issue I encounter so I can actually drive it for a decent spell and get used to the unintuitive infotainment system.
Electric drive failure
New to this forum. Picked up our ID3 on Friday and this morning had a red warning, electric drive not working error. Couldn’t drive the vehicle and auto-handbrake dis-engaged at one point which was very disconcerting. Car towed away and awaiting diagnosis.
Awaiting the call from the dealer.

Looks like this is a common fault.
On saturday I got an electronic drive error and a symbol that said the battery was overheating.
Took it to the garage who said they've had several of these and it's caused by the battery coolant pump either having an airlock or getting stuck. The took the pump out, checked it over, ran diagnostics and then took the car for a drive.
All now ok apparently.
