Re: 3.0 Software Update

Anyone notice range is not displaying correctly since 3.0? I did a charge to 80% yesterday and seeing only 119 mile range. Should be in the 240-270 range with these temperatures. Pretty sure the car will recalculate once I get driving. Is this in the car or on the app? I have had a problem since up...

I had the same issues, took about 4 days but it all came through eventually. Take a look at my posts last week to see my journey, so far you are mirroring my experience.

Re: Do I need to have my service done by a VW dealer?

Much of the work will be perfectly straightforward, but most mechanics aren’t going to have a scoobies what to do with an electric motor nor the software side of things. I plan to stick to VW for mine. Of course they may not have a scoobies either for anything out of the ordinary but they will have ...

The 330,000 is an annual build capacity, and for Zwickau alone. The 500,000 is cumulative sales since launch in October 2020.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

The quick update that follows part 1 has to do with WeConnect. My part 2 appeared several days later and takes 1.5 hours to install.

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

The days to services advice is in the Service widget you can download when you have software 3.0. But the 2 year interval to first service is widely stated in various places.

Re: 2.4 update and battery replacement

Hi Chrisf52 (nice name!), sorry to hear about your troubles, that really is poor service. Though I’m not clear why you can’t just keep driving the car with 2.3, has the partial update bricked it? On a slightly cheerier note, I don’t think the car needs a service until January 2024 (two years). Mine ...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

Success at last with the app! No new updates, I did nothing different, but today 4 days after installing part 1 of software 3.0 it all suddenly worked. A button appeared with my name and identifying me as primary user next to the button marked Guest. I was able to get into the Shop and “purchase” We...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

The first part of software 3.0 installed on Saturday morning. More than three days later, I still cannot register with the WeConnect app. I have tried installing from the app and from the car, I have tried using the code and using email, I have deleted and reinstalled the app. Still no joy.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

So I got in the car this morning and, what do you know, there was another software update waiting! Didn’t seem to have a lot in it but the first item mentioned was about connecting to the WeConnect app. Aha, I thought, there was a missing piece and that’s why I couldn’t connect at first but now it’s...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

I believe there is a part 2 of the 3.0 update still to come. The VW notes said this would come between seven days and “several weeks” later.

Anyone received part 2 yet, or know what it contains?

I signed up for the update and today got a message in the car that an update was available (same message as in roadhawk’s post above). It’s now on the drive and I hope processing the update, although there is no visible indication except for a red exclamation mark inside a warning triangle. I am ho...

Re: Total Distance Covered

Is that in the Vehicle Data section or can it be seen somewhere else?

I reset to factory settings after 2.4 and now I have lost my total mileage travelled. The lease company will want to know, for one!

Re: Intelligent Octopus and Software 3.0

I'm still on 2.3 (until tomorrow) but I switched over to Intelligent Octopus last week, my Octopus Go was still valid for a few more months, but given the inevitable increases incoming, I thought it prudent to fix it for another year and have the extended hours of 7.5p. First charge last night and ...

Re: Software still says 2.3 after 2.4 upgrade

Look a few lines further down. If it says software 0910, it’s 2.3. If it says software 0912, it’s 2.4.

Unbelievably clunky I know, but that’s how it is.
