Re: New order placed in Derbyshire

Hi Helen,

We went for a Hypervolt. Finally got to put it to use at the end of December and we're really happy so far. Super straightforward to use and doesn't look obtrusive.

Re: Newbie Public Charging Question

I've charged at Lidl. You can use the type 2 whilst someone else is on CCS - but you'll be charging more slowly.

Re: My VW order tracker

I have no idea how true that is, but £80 is what the dealer told me. It seemed unbelievable to me, but he was quite insistant about it.

Re: My VW order tracker

At pickup I was told two years or 20000 miles, whichever comes sooner. I was also told they're not offering prepaid service offers on ID3s as it's not worth it - they anticipate a service costing about £80 max for most customers.

Re: Selling ID.3 on day of delivery.

Got a link to that? I've been looking around for real 22.5 interiors (and the Sept 21+ area view too), but not finding them. The best way to compare the interior would be to check the pictures on the Configurator interior images. However, not sure how easy it will be to be able to pick up differenc...

Re: Selling ID.3 on day of delivery.

Quick update: Pretty sure mine is MY22 as the software is 2.3 and it was built well before 1st Dec. Seems unlikely that I'd get the new dash/door cards without the other stuff. Guess I just remember the interior being very plastic-y on the test drive and it's not as cheap-looking as I remembered. To...

Re: Rapid charge using Type 2 charger

Zap Map and ABRP (A better route planner) apps are free and will help you find them. The DC connection for ID3 and other EVs with Type 2 is called CCS (Combined Charging System) - so that's what you're looking for on Zap-Map et al. You remove a small cap under the Type 2 connection on the ID3 to acc...

Re: Selling ID.3 on day of delivery.

Besides, now we have our new car, we love it. It feels *far* more premium on the inside than I remember (I remember it having lots of crappy quality plastic on the doors / lower dash, but that's not what we've got) and is a great to drive. I wonder whether you’ve managed to snag a 22.5, given your ...

Re: Selling ID.3 on day of delivery.

We've been really looking forward to getting our hands on our ID3. Even so, I confess that before picking it up last week, I had a fleeting wondering about what it is worth now, given the unique situation with used cars. We paid around £23k for our ID3 (on VW finance) and I'm sure it is worth a fair...

Re: First Fault - Dynamic Cornering Light

Day 3 and this is my first error message too. Didn't think that the Life model had dynamic cornering lights? Did the error just go away for you in the end?

They do exist. It's not a myth. Almost six months later (and 10/11 weeks in-build) it's finally here.

Really hope you all get yours soon.

Re: Delivery time

Our Life Pro (ordered 2nd July) has arrived at the dealer today. Received a vid of the car in its protective wrapping. Aiming for Tues 28th pick up. Also told that as the value of our ICE Golf has gone up, we'll be getting a much better PX price. I was getting ready to negotiate, but no need. 🎉🥳 Th...
