We just took delivery of a Pro Performance 58kw 204 bhp ID.3

Now.... one of the first things I would have done with a ICE car would be to pop the bonnet to make sure I had been sold the correct engine.
As I am denied this pleasure,
whilst also more or less 99% positive its the right car,
I'd like to scratch the itch and see something in writing... Can I find something in the app or on the infotainment system confirming the tec specs ?

thanks !

The quickest way may be to accelerated to 62mph and see if it takes 7.5 or 9.5 seconds. Also will be a lot of fun!

The Motor KW is on a sticker under the boot floor carpet.

You should get a certificate (in German) which shows the motor power.

Although I’ve never checked an ICE car to make sure they put the right engine in it 😂

Do we know if there is a physical difference in the motors or is the lower power one just limited by say software in some way.

There is a document I saw which had different part numbers for the motors.
