Re: What colour did you get/order?

We were going to pay extra for metallic grey but then our dealer showed us a Moonstone Grey that had just arrived for another customer. We changed our mind immediately because of the good contrast with the black detailing, and this was reinforced when he showd us one with the metallic grey which ha...

Re: Best Deals on ID.3

Has anyone ever managed to beat DriveTheDeal (DTD) prices (except when the government grant changed)? Yes, frequently, but you'll often need to put in some legwork to beat it, and it's often not beatable by very much. I tend to view the DTD price as the best price you're likely to get for filling i...

Re: Why did you get an ID.3?

Not being an eco warrior (given Lithium battery rew material mining techniques and the amount of truly renewable energy supplying the grid), I really don't think I'm saving the world with 2 ID3s. If I didn't have the capability for a home charger, there's no way I'd have an EV right now - for the i...

Re: Apple CarPlay

Have you tried deactivating the search for new wifi networks on the ID.3 (Settings/Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi/Search for Wi-Fi)? This worked for several folks on the SpeakEV forum.

Re: Keyless entry id3 security

Just out of interest, does the keyless entry trigger as you, say, walk past the car but don't want to actually get into the car? It triggers when you touch the door handle walking past doesn't activate it. Most modern cars can be stolen easily by relay theft of keyless entries i was surprised when ...

Re: Delivery time

The actual build week will only be available about a month before it starts being built. You may be able to get a provisional build week out of your dealer, but I’m pretty sure they use a magic 8 ball to give you that number… Wouldn't be surprised tbh. Although I wonder what causes it to change. My...

Re: Delivery time

Biggest frustration is their inability to even attempt to manage expectations. If you’re told it’s going to be 6 months then fair enough, you can make the decision whether to cancel. Issue I have found is poor communication from the dealership, then them getting narky when picked up on lack of comm...

Re: Anyone using UBITRICITY as a charging company?

I don’t think they’re a charging company, they make the charging hardware in the lamppost.

There should be a QR code attached to the lamppost to scan that takes you to a website/app to start the charge.

Conspiracy theory. Ignore.

That sounds like a custom notification sound for some app or other, being "bluetoothed" from your paired phone to your infotainment system to me

By that “logic”, no manufacturer would ever fit Bridgestone.
