Re: Enhanced ID.3 Offers Coming

if one checks autotrader, it is obvious that £9000 discounts ( 6k+3K) is the new norm, with even higher discounts on some occasions

Re: Theories about 12V battery drain

Wow, that’s poor! If I had had my car for two days and it failed like this I would be furious - “spare” car or otherwise... I haven't driven it for more than 3 hours before the "please charge battery" sign appeared. Which is good, cause that proves that the problem - that is not the empty...

Re: Getting a Car Insurance quote

I now have road insurance with LV, a specialist EV insurance co who did not have the id3 as a listed option and insisted on calling it an E golf albeit with my correct id3 registration number. I'm also with LV and the insurance documents I received from them in mid October all show "VW ID.3 1S...

Re: Totally dead

I’ve now had to call out roadside assistance twice to jump start my ID.3, since October. It is now back at the VW dealership for the third time , just to resolve the 12 volt battery drain problem. In my case either a faraday pouch for the key fob, nor the 0570 software patch have resolved the probl...

Hi has anyone had their We Charge rejected. I have yet to take advantage of the £500 credit. You should be able to use it at any charge point the app identifies with green dot.

Re: Enhanced ID.3 Offers Coming

I just bought my 1st edition pro just under £30000 ( ok, 30290 with the Gap insurance)
