Re: Has anyone received the "Major Update" 2.0 / 0783 ?

I seem to be the only id.3 customer in Bedford! They haven't been issued with 2.0 so i got sent home without an upgrade from 0570...

I never seem to get any useful emails like that - was it something I said?

Re: Enhanced ID.3 Offers Coming

Basically VW are offering £500 "gesture" if you bought cash and £1000 if you bought PCP. Apparently that is the fixed rate... It seems you only get it if you make a noise. email executive.office@volkswagen.co.uk and ask

Re: I'm a bit worried about the range

Before I received my car, I worked out that 'fuelling' my electric car would cost me 1/10 of what fuelling my diesel car cost. I got that wrong. I have a fairly light right foot and my Passat Estate used to do 50MPG on a run, or 40MPG around town. At £1.20/litre, that worked out at between 11p/mile...

Re: IONITY Charging - but not charging?

I've charged at Ionity points a couple of times (Leeds and Kent) and not been charged either time. I think that some of the chargers are free at the moment. Maybe to get people used to using them before the 69p/kWh charge kicks in! Was this the Ionity at Maidstone services? Just at the exit to Leed...

Exciting stuff (though a bit sad that we feel excited about software that we should have had three months ago). My id.3 is in the garage next week so I hope to get 2.0 then too...

Re: Bike prep.

See page 63: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/files/live/sites/vwuk/files/pdf/Brochures/volkswagen-accessories.pdf I guess it’s the Transport Hitch Kit that you’ve ordered. I think that looks more like I was going to get. I have an Atera rack that goes on the tow hitch of my California and slides back ...

Re: Bike prep.

When I got to look at the car and tried to find the flap behind the rear number plate! If you find out more I would be interested... I was quoted £850 for the tow hitch and was told that it would be fitted under the car. Having said that the VW garage didn't know much about the car at all!

Re: Stuck in Park

My Passat wouldn't release the park brake unless I had my seatbelt on but the id.3 doesn't appear to have any qualms about this (other than beeping with increasing ferocity).
