Re: New / Updated ID.3 revealed

It might just take a long time before the new software reaches current and older cars. They are still struggling to get 3.0 to most cars. Never mind 3.1 or 3.2. Never mind 3.5. Anyway the facelift looks quite nice. But what we need to know is, does it have illuminated sliders for volume and temperat...

Re: Max and Tour

I went for the blue and am very happy with it. I could have had a cancellation and got the car much sooner, but turned it down because it was the silver. However when I actually saw one later I kicked myself a little bit because I thought it looked great! So hopefully you will be happy when you get ...

Re: For octopus customers

Weird really as it’s a little inconsistent. I have a Hypervolt charger. I’ll call octopus this week and feed back to everyone here. I think you can qualify by having either an approved car or an approved charger. The id3 has not been “approved” up to now, but it sounds as though that may have just ...

Re: There’s always something new with the ID3

Is the mileage shown in the car 1.6 times greater than that shown in the app? Quite a few of us on here have experienced that issue, which seems to be down to a miscalculation (double conversion) of the km/miles conversion. VW are aware of the issue and it might have been sorted in software 3.0, I c...

Re: For octopus customers

I had a look yesterday but the rates were higher than my current Go rates (10p v 7.5p, and about 41p v 35p day rate).

Re: WeConnect ID app update

Thanks again sidehaas, I thought the map was only to see where you had parked. I never realised it had all these other functions, including searching for chargers with related filters. I just did a (very short) test and couldn’t see the route I sent appear in the car. I’m guessing it might take a wh...

Re: WeConnect ID app update

How do you send a destination to the car? I can’t see where to do that. I have set permission to do so to On in the app settings.

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

Thanks sidehaas, I hadn’t realised there was a sync button. Have clicked it now and maybe it will be working, will keep an eye on it.

I’m on Apple btw.

Re: Incorrect range reported in the App.

Doesn’t look like the issue is fixed. I downloaded v. 2.0 of the app earlier today and yes my id3 is on s/w 3.0. When I read the above I checked the app and it was suggesting 71 miles from my 57% soc of the 58kwh battery. I just nipped out to the car and it said 110 miles, which the app now also say...

Re: 2022 Sales of ID.3 in context

The dominance of Tesla - wow! Helped considerably I am sure by the income tax breaks and the number of company car sales, they seem to be exploiting that market very successfully, they really have their act together there.

Re: Hello ID

Can’t say I’ve noticed any improvement in the digital voice, but that may be because got in the habit of not using it.

Maybe I’ll give it another chance.

Re: Timed charging on software v 3.0

I have an Ohme and it allows for the introduction of another variable: the maximum rate payable. Mine is set to a maximum of 7.5p per kwh, the rate applied during the cheap Octopus Go period, annd this seems to take precedence and so it stops at 04:30. If it hasn’t reached the target SoC say 80%, th...

Re: Timed charging on software v 3.0

Have you set it to “Preferred times” in the location setting as well as on the charging screen itself? I think the other threads on this subject have advised that the location setting overrides the general setting.
