Re: Launch editions?

Has anyone got a Launch Edition 3 with a 77kWh battery? Or does it not exist? TIA I don't think it exists, the Launch Edition 4 is/was the 77 kwh version. That’s what I thought. But I have been talking with a VW dealer and he reckons he has one. Just shows what they actually know about their own ma...

Re: Charging only @3.6kw

I have emailed Garo to see if the charger can limit the amperage, I do not have solar panels so that cannot interfere with the output, I am not scheduling for overnight as I am still with Shell and have not been swapped to Octopus yet and do not have the reduced rate for the same reason. Thank you ...

Re: Spec Confusion!

Business was a spec, like Max, Family, Life. Yours is not a Business if it is as you describe. I assume it also has HUD, travel assist etc? Max spec does. Pro is the battery size (Pure 45kwh, Pro 58, Pro S 77). In the 58 kWh size, Performance used to signify the higher power option. However since th...

Re: Auf wiedersehen ID.3 friends

I don't suggest the ID.3 is more resistant, but Ioniq 5s are noted as being vulnerable to opening with some sort of key dialogue interceptor and counterfeiter. You might like to make an additional arrangment to stop anyone getting in and driving off. I'm wondering if I ought to for the ID.3 - has a...

Re: Auf wiedersehen ID.3 friends

Thanks and you're welcome. Glad to have helped! Is it a new Ioniq 5 or used? I am tempted by a used one to replace our remaining ICE. Just haven't convinced myself of the finances yet. It's surprising how little extra the AWD costs vs the RWD, when you compare against the extra you have to pay for a...

Re: Battery health check by main dealer

This appears to have not been completed properly. How can they send you a form for a 2020 car suggesting it has never spent any time idle. Makes no sense. If/when you get the car, you can get an impression of battery health yourself if you have a £30 OBD reader and the carscanner app by (1) looking ...

Re: Solar power and battery charging

They used to only do a limited export rate for people on Go etc, but they allowed everyone to get the 15p export rate from a few months back, as I understand it.

Re: Service Interval - now 2yr

Has anyone noticed in the app. Under vehicle health it tells you when the car is due for service. This morning I wrote a email to the dealer. Asking for clarification on service intervals. Answer was 2 years. But the car app indicated service currently due. This evening I had another look, but now ...

Re: Incorrect range shown in App

It was never much of a problem and still isn’t. Firstly, if you're aware of the bug then it's fairly obvious when it's happening and you can just mentally multiply by 1.5 (or 1.6 if you wish). Secondly, looking at the range (GOM) in the app is pointless anyway. The GOM is only ever accurate once you...

Re: Home chargers

There is no service book for any ID car, it's all electronic, hopefully there will be a record on the VW system. The service interval is a fixed 2 years regardless of mileage. You'd better check the battery warranty T&Cs. There are no grants for chargers any more if you have your own house with ...

If things are working correctly, it can't have driven anywhere because then it would have been turned on and updated itself? Not driven, yes. Taken? If it was taken on a truck then yes it could have moved. All that screen tells you is that the car was in that location when it last updated the cloud...
