Charging timers fixed?
Disgraceful if not.

Not mentioned on the video but in the meinid.com German forum some had tested them and said they work now

Tour versions already had 125 Kw charging ?

But the belief is that all versions get a small max DC charging boost in the Autumn and more to follow, rumour is that the id4 is to get up to 170 Kw so can't see why this can't be applied to id3 tours.

Interesting is that the id 3 tour 5 according to my specs on the website include insulated glass, the original specs did not say this.

Mine also shows 2021 model, I ordered first week in May.

Right you are! However, I think some of the lower spec models got a bump from 100 to 120kW DC charging just looking across the two brochures.

Life MY22
Battery charging capacity - max. 11kW AC, max. 120kW DC

Life MY21
Battery charging capacity - max. 11kW AC, max. 100kW DC

I see the new business models now come with alloys as standard.

I wonder would fitting non id.3 specific alloys to a style affect range much?

KCross · 05-07-2021 11:13AM

Not sure about others but I just got an email officially confirming the 3 month extension for the ID.3 1st owners for the free charging...

“ The last few months have been a great challenge for most of us and individual mobility looked different for many of us a few months ago. We are therefore pleased to inform you that we have extended the term of the We Charge Plus First Edition tariff for our ID.3 1st customers by an additional 3 months which allows you to continue to use the included charging credit.”

Weight and aerodynamics would be the one to watch.
I think tyres would be the main one.
You would need to make sure they clear the front discs.

I got a statement for mine the other day and I still have €560 credit left :pac:

The alloys should be lighter than the steel wheels and I'm using the original tyres so aerodynamics should be the only concern.

The new alloys are the same size but with 45 offset instead of factory wheels 50. I had a look and seems to be much more than 5mm clearance to calipers. I have a couple of 3mm spacers if needed anyway. Should be no problem on the back with drums.

You should be okay. What ones are you going for?

DrPhilG · 05-07-2021 11:58AM

So the silver lining to my dealer delay is that my Tour will now have Area View included?

That takes the sting out of it a little alright.

Does anyone else find the online broucher a little confusing about what is/is not included ? Looking at the 'Family' "In addition to Life -....heat seats and wheel " Yet these are also listed in the life ?

Anyways, wanted to ask what do people think about the Family over the life, I like the rear view camera, extra boot space, never had 2 zone clima but im single, the sunroof and wheels are very nice but pricey upgrade. Anyone willing to talk me into or out of a Family

They will look good, great value, and being 18 inch will still be comfy on the road. Maybe upload pictures after install

That's a nice addition, it is an expensive retrofit

Heated seats and steering is on the base life. There is not more space in the boot, its just an additional false floor about 5 inches deep

Do the car tyres of the Style have standard valves or TPMS valves?

There are no sensors in the wheels. The system works from the ABS sensors

The 20's that are on the Max are a 45 offset, you should have plenty of clearance without spacers.

On ID3 1st movers Facebook page.

Dear First Movers,
We are happy to announce, that from this summer, we will regularly send software updates “Over-the-Air” to models in the ID. family.
The Over-the-Air Update “ID.Software2.3” is already in the starting blocks. As a First Mover, you have the possibility to become one of the first to receive this Software Update “Over-the-Air” for your ID.
If you want to be part, then write us an e-mail with the subject
"I want OTA" to id@volkswagen.de.
Important: the e-mail must necessarily be sent from the e-mail address that you have stored in your Volkswagen ID.
The update is provided in two parts and includes, among other things, the following new features:
Improved usability and design customizations in the Infotainment System.
New features in the ID. Light.
Optimized ambient detection and improvement of the advanced main-beam control Dynamic Light Assist (provided that the vehicle is equipped with it).
And further improvements in terms of performance and stability.
Before the start of the update, we will provide you with more information.
Important notes:
Prerequisite for the Over-the-Air update is a completed installation of the ID.Software2.1 as well as an active We Connect Start contract.
For the duration of the first update, i.e. from the start of the download to the completion of the installation, the camera-based driver assistance systems will not be available for the sake of safety. This is recognizable by warnings and symbols in the ID. display, for instance, similar to a camera covered by snow. The driving safety of your ID. is therefore maintained. After successful installation of the software update, the range of functions of the driver assistance systems will be available again and optimized.
Your e-mail address will be passed on internally within Volkswagen AG, which is necessary for the rollout of the update campaigns. You will then receive an automatically generated e-mail from We Connect in which you can agree to register your vehicle for receiving the Over-the-Air Update.
Please check the inbox of the e-mail address you have stored in your Volkswagen ID regularly. We look forward to your feedback. Thanks for joining us!
Your Volkswagen ID. Team

Anyone here with an ID3 tour or the 77kw battery. Finally thinking of jumping and getting one made awful mistake with my last car so don't want to the same this time around. I was looking at the ID4 Life aswell similar money, bigger car but missing out some of the tech.

I ordered the Tour 5, yes it's missing some kit I couldn't care less about such as HUD ( reflections on the windscreen drive me nuts ) and fancy glass roof but I can't be looking up when I'm driving so it's a gimmick that I don't need.

But, it has 3 rear seats vs 4 ( oops mistake I meant the tour 4 has 2 rear seats ) for the tour and has all the kit I need mostly travel assist for the motorway and apple car play, don't need anything else.

Going from 28kwh to around 78 Kwh will be amazing.

I was interested in the id4 but to get travel assist I would have had to spend a lot more.

Only real question: are the sunroof, 2-zone AC, and extra panel in the boot worth €1,100 to you? If not, go for the Business.

Have the Tour since beginning of June and loving it. Wanted the bigger battery as we regularly do a 330km journey to the North which it has done a couple of times with ease, about 25% battery remaining. Expect the colder months will do away with that 25% so will be interesting to see come then.

In close proximity to chargers in one of the Hotels in the north so can generally park it there for the night and be good to go the next morning. No charge for the chargers although we try to book the restaurant so we are putting something back for there use.

So im looking to organise a trip to Kerry for collection this week but looking at the Kerry dealers donedeal page they have a Family listed for €900 more than the Style I have on hold.

So for €900 more looks like comes with the camera, 2 zone climate, keyless entru, IQ welcome lights and few small but extras.

Thing is I’m not a fan of the colour Stonewashed Blue and I wanted Moonstone grey. No doubt il change it in 3 years anyway but its a struggle what to do now?

https://www.donedeal.ie/view/26482351

Any advice?

Be a rebel and go with the blue, too many silver and grey cars on the road lol.

Mine is stone washed blue haven't seen it in person yet.

The only real difference is the keyless entry, I couldn't be with that now, the other stuff like Camera I'm not bothered with as long as I have parking sensors I always use the mirrors anyway.

Its herself that needs to be convinced and i know she wont care about any of that stuff, she actually prefers having a key to open the door rather than keyless - dont ask. I havent seen the stomewashed blue but I just like the moonstone grey as it has a nardo grey look to it aswell.

My other issue is they have another style listed for €500 less than im getting it for and the original price I was offered. Then dealer said prices went up but from the new July pdf pricelist ot doesnt look like they have. Plus the stonewashed blue is a €700 optional extra so the Moonstone should be cheaper again.

For 900 extra the only real good thing for me would be the keyless entry. What's the other small extras ? Dual zone climate I don't care about.

My present car plus my last two had dual zone. I don't think I have ever needed to use..

I'd like rear vent for the Boys in the back but that's about it, if it was 3 zone then I might say it's worth it for that alone or even just put a bloody vent in for rear passengers ffs lol, sure they can't be bothered putting wiring or speakers for the rear doors! :eek:
