That means approximately the week beginning August 16th for collection. 5 weeks delay in total. If I get it in August I'll take it. If it rolls on into September/October then different story. If I get the i3 shifted in the meantime he'll lend me a car for free although it won't be electric so I'll have to fuel it. And this time I want the commission number out of him by close of play tomorrow...

I have a LEAF, and I know that for the app that goes with that, you can only have one device logged in to the car account at a time.

It’s now on it’s 4 trip on the back of a flat bed to the dealer .... always a different problem but usually just will not start. All sorts of lights on etc .. but won’t start. I think this time he is just going to look for his money back from the dealer and look at something else.

waynegalway wrote: » There is no reversing camera on the Style. I know because we got one as an “upgrade” to the Life version we were going to buy, on the basis of a few things it’s a worthwhile upgrade, but we thought we’d get the reversing camera and it’s not part of that spec. Managing okay without it. I believe it can be retrofitted, so maybe the dealer has put it on there as an extra.

Is there a latest version of the software I should request before picking up the car? Anything else I should check with the dealer? Apologies for all the questions. Thanks in advance.
waynegalway wrote: » The dealer should apply the latest update before handing over, but no harm to remind them. Overall, we’re very happy with the car. We traded an ICE for the ID3, and I kept my LEAF24. The difference in tech and range between the LEAF and the ID3 is amazing. We had our first long journey yesterday. Left Galway with the range showing as 370km. Arrived in Cork after driving 260km, about half of which was at motorway speed. The range left was showing 120km. Coming from my LEAF, that’s just astonishing. It’s a lovely car to drive, and in the Style spec you do get a few nice looking extras over the Life spec. Only downside: we thought the upgrade to Style would include a reversing camera but it doesn’t. Also the stationery air con is not working right on our car. Hoping it’s just a software glitch and an easy fix. Apart from those two things, we’re very happy.
remoteboy wrote: » Thanks for that. We’ve done a few test drives in the ID3 and it’s lovely to drive. Looked at the Style but the lack of camera put me off - felt the rear window was pretty small. Currently looking at Family model. Out of curiosity did you get a printed manual with the car, or are they all online these days?
waynegalway wrote: » Yeah, the family spec is nicer for sure, but budget-wise the style was where we ended up. FWIW the lack of camera isn’t that big a deal. We thought we were getting it, and it would have been nice, but the sensors work very well and there’s great visibility with the wing mirrors. It came with a hard copy manual, yeah. But online ones are available, and are probably better in that they can be updated easily. I scanned the manual cover to cover, but TBH it kind of covers too much stuff. It’s a “catch all” manual for all spec versions, so it has items in there that just don’t apply to our car. With the online version you have to put in the VIN to access it, so I *think* it only shows the relevant information. Haven’t delved too deeply into it yet. Only have the car a week!
