Re: Home Charging- using location

Shame it doesn’t work. I had no preferred times configured, but did set a departure time and %, the car got nowhere near to the % I set. If I had not set a departure time at all it would have naturally reached the set % with 50 minutes to spare. So it was technically possible to reach the %, but th...

Re: Home Charging- using location

Hi Tried again to charge the car last night using delayed timing by location. All good for to start with - flashing green light on the car charging flap, expected it to come on at 5 past midnight . At 22:30 I noticed the smart meter was showing red - the car had decided to start charging !!! I let ...

Re: Delayed charging

It works for me on 2.0. I think it must depend on the charger quite a lot as well and how exactly the ‘handshake’ process works. I’ve used the ‘departure time’ element since we had the car and that’s always worked; it means the car is warm and I have exactly the charge I want at departure time (80% ...

Re: EV Courtesy car?

We had an ID.3 courtesy car when ours went in for it's 2.0 update...it was one of the dealerships demonstrators I think (they have 2 or 3 ID.3 demo's)

Re: THINGS MY DEALER DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT CHARGING

I used a BMW i3 for 4 years and never had to worry about how to charge my battery. I don’t really know what game is VW playing here but many other forums actually recommend charging to 100% to balance the cells. VW have got so many things wrong with this car, I am surprised the where are spinning. ...

Re: ME2.0 update cancelled

Doesn’t it seem counterintuitive to have to switch on the wipers to enable rain sensing to switch on the wipers though? 🤔 That’s like locking the passenger door manually to enable remote locking. Maybe it’s set up for left hand drive as well as the wipers. 😉 Seriously though, the 2.1 upgrade does s...

Re: ME2.0 update cancelled

Picked the car up this morning after 2.1 update. It was raining and the wipers didn’t work so out came a service engineer and told me it has to be in intermittent wipe setting on the stalk for automatic wipe to work properly. I didn’t know that. It worked ok after that, speeding up to full wipe etc...

Re: ID3 Life or Business

The whole ‘pack’ thing I think we’ll see come to all manufacturers in the UK. It’s how cars from the same manufacturers are marketed overseas - seems the UK is one of a few countries that have got used to millions of individual options on cars over the years - for whatever reason. Packs just make be...

Re: I’ll probably get hung for this - ID3 or Tesla 3

I wanted a hatchback and probably in a minority who doesn't like the look of a Tesla Model 3. Always looks good in 2D but a mismatch of shapes in 3D. The ID.3 looks better 3D in the flesh. My EV requirements were more than met by the ID.3 Dave No, I’d agree with you - in fact I’d go further - I rea...

Re: OUR Real World Range

Dave I have considered the options as I really would like to move to an EV for environmental and driving reasons. My problem is I do a 150 mile trip on motorways, stay over a couple of days and then 150 mile return about every two to three weeks all through year plus several trips of 250 to 450 mil...

Positive market response to ID.3

I’ve posted this elsewhere so apologies to those who will see it twice - but I thought it made for interesting reading.... The first real analyst review I’ve seen published specifically on the ID.3 market impact for VW has come out from UBS - and reads very positively - certainly VW shares up consid...

Re: Condensation front window screen

Interestingly I noticed this on both our cars this weekend (one an ID.3 the other another brand completely)....I wonder if it’s an unusual weather thing rather than ID.3 thing as not had it on the other car before in the last 20ish months of ownership....
