I collected my car on Monday 20th Sept. The dealer said it is the last Makena Turquoise and the last Business Pro Performance available. Despite my age, I'm usually pretty good with technology, no problems so far!!

I certainly hope it's not the end of Makena turquoise, as I have had one on order since the beginning of August! Did your dealer think they were stopping making them or did he just mean in his stock?

The Business spec was pulled a while ago, but Makena is still an option today.

I was told that Makena Turquoise would not be available in January the new year (when a car ordered in September would be delivered) as it was an introductory colour for the new ID.3

My Makena Turquoise is due end of Jan and there was no indication to me that this would be one of the last ones.

I have been driving and domestically charging my ID3 for six weeks and my cable has yet to release itself from the car when I disconnect the power. It usually releases after 30 minutes, or so, which is not convenient when you want to drive off. I have tried locking and unlocking the car, switching power on and off, entering "Release when charged" on the inboard computer", but to no avail. I now open the boot and pull the flimsy wire to release the cable.
It is high time VW correct the problem, since many ID3 owners are suffering.

Does it happen every time?
Its happened to me once in 9 months.
Its not something that pops up on this forum to my recollection!
If I have any doubts I quick multiple unlock click the fob.
Its the 30 minute delay that is puzzling.
