I think that’s probably a dead certainty, and only goes to prove that the universe is spinning correctly upon its axis.

So far a familiar tale of many unconfirmed build dates...Volvo leasing have been great but sadly extended my S60 lease for the final time until end of April..So how long can I hang in there! Latest unconfirmed build of end May which given initial del...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

Much more complex, unfortunately. And don’t forget those modules have different revisions and versions too.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

No I think 1ST and 2021 cars will get an update to many modules and will be on 2.4 then OTA’d to 3.x.

But it’s going to be the end of the year before that starts.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

I said earlier why there’s a long delay. Factory cars have a known single hardware configuration, so they are easy and quick to test for. Cars already out there in the fleet are a wide variety of hardware configurations, many with failed updates and software in god knows what state. Too risky to bri...

Re: ID3 servicing.......... simply explained

I was quite impressed with the sincerity of Tesla on this topic, as it happens. I appreciate they done have dealer networks to feed, but I honestly don’t think that’s my problem!

Re: Where is the pollen filter?

People who don’t know better; there are many around who will just pay the servicing cost whatever it is.

To be fair VW are only as bad as the rest of them.

Re: One Quarter of UK Tesla Supercharger sites open to non-Tesla vehicles from today

Good to hear - frankly the more the "Tesla charging experience" can be applied to all manufacturers the better. The Trafford Centre Superchargers look to be sensibly installed as well parallel to the charging bays.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

I am confused by this so maybe I am missing something. If 3.0 won't be released until Q3/Q4 what is the 3.0 software that some recent posts on the Deliveries thread say there new car has been delivered with? Factory fit 3.0 will be a totally different beast to OTA 3.0, though cut from the same code...

Re: ID3 servicing.......... simply explained

Last I looked VW were pretty clear on the website about what a service consists of and how much it costs, given a service plan consists of a single service and an MOT.

Dealers, as usual, are clueless and incompetent.

It’s compatible.

Re: 3.0 Software Update

Called that 3.x OTA wasn’t going to happen this year weeks ago.

To anyone who professionally works in this area - and I have for more than 20 years - it’s quite obvious that VW are not organised correctly to deliver more than a single release a year, if you’re lucky.
