Great review, I hope to do a12000 mile review soon

Is it a perceived view that the software on the ID.3, especially charging is useless or are the reports a distortion? Is the view actually true?

Hi Stuart
Sorry I didn’t check first, you’ve been with us a while now, I must be old lol

Hello Stuart t and welcome. Glad you enjoyed your first drive and I hope like me you have many more enjoyable miles, it’s a great car. I don’t know of a shortcut for heated steering wheel, but if you’re new to the car a couple of other features your dealer may have omitted are , Hold the ‘rear’ butt...

I think the fact that the car is plugged in and charging generates the heat in the battery

I can only use public chargers and usually let the battery go down to between 15-30 depending on my next journey and charge to around 80 As I understand from other posts many other people on the forum seem to plug in every night to top up using cheap electricity. So I’m a bit confused as to best pra...

I can see your points and most posts have replied to your questions.
I was just wondering if you have to declare the capital gain on your tax return? And if you did with the other sales on your imported cars?

Hi
Thanks for the information, I can only use public chargers and some of the connectors have quite a lot of damage on them so i will keep an eye out in the future
Cheers

Hi all
Just to say Bp have installed a couple of high speed chargers at the service station in beckington near Trowbridge, been on free vend for a week now.
So free green charging for a bit

HNY to everyone and thanks for all the help and advice and especially the entertainment you are a great bunch. Looking forward to next year and lots of new owners enjoying the great experience of this great car. Keep asking questions even if you think it’s a basic one you will get the answers you ne...

I’m not an expert in tyres so what are your options on Avon tyres, they are more reasonably priced than the other big names

Hi all I’ve been reading this tyre thread with interest as I will probably have to change my tyres in the spring. I’ve never had any issues with any tyre on any of my cars, and certainly not felt in danger of killing my self or any one else so I really don’t understand some of the comments like the ...

Hi
Good to hear you had a good trip.
I’ve also used gridserve successfully at Baldock services and is one of the new 120kw chargers that is replacing the 50kw ones .
A lot of people still criticise gridserve but they are improving fast and definitely worth a go

Hi
I’m not 100% sure but I think you first stop the charge then press unlock on the key fob then take out the car end cable first.
Rwws may know more as he uses them more

I would never expect to be able to get a charge at my destination, I would plan to use a rapid either en route or on the way home. But if one was offered and it was suitable, I would definitely offer a meaningful gift or cash. But, there is no unwritten rule or standard, just good old fashioned pol...

Hi all, Thanks for the information scott. I got my car in May 21 and have had very few issues and no problems at all with the updates. I’m looking forward to 3.0 if the rumoured ventilation system is more efficient. I know some people are not happy with issues they have on their car but if any prosp...

No packed lunch for me just coffee and a banana, gives me a chance to chill out for a bit and use my phone ( not allowed in the warehouse)

My break is only 30 mins and just finished a 10 hour shift . It’s now 4’ and back to the usual 0.3.
A nice relaxing 21 mile drive home now with classic FM for company

Hi everyone, I hope we are all enjoying our cars in this chilly weather, still a joy to drive for me. I’m currently sat in my car on my break as I do every day and noticed my consumption is showing 5.2 kWh/h temp is 0’ and I haven’t turned the ignition on so I guess just sitting in the car activates...

Sorry I didn’t see your post before I replied to the one before.
I always thought that topping up was bad for the battery, I have done it occasionally when on a long run but usually stick to the 80-20 advice given by most manufacturers.
