    It is actually! I'll try it without wireless charging and see how it goes! Thanks!

    I remember reading something similar over on SpeakEV months ago, don't remember much, but IIRC by turning off the WiFi search in car sorted it.. May not have been the same problem but worth a try..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭eagerv


    I find that handy, but usually use Google maps with Car Play (Love the satellite view). Haven't tried eircodes as yet but presume it works..

    I see over on the ID.4 thread that a ship, the MV "Parana" has left Emden.

    Hope there are some ID.3s on it as well.. Mad_Lad??😎

    I think both mine and Mad _Lad's cars are schtuck waiting for semiconductors. 😥

    So was anyone who got the We charge credit unable to activate it because of errors signing up for the We Charge plans?

    Me and my mum were both having this issue. The recent update seems to have fixed it for me but I don't have any free credit so not much use


    AFAIK the sign up time for the free credit has passed, but obviously my mum wasn't able to sign up for it.

    Just wondering if anyone has had success getting VW to waive the sign up period and get their free charging?

    45kwh ID3 with 100kw charger. It takes 30 minutes to go from 5% to 80% which is a similar speed to PSA models.

    with 100kw charger that car is certainly able to undertake longer motorway journeys. I am expecting it to be a 2kw per 100km at motorway speeds more efficient than corsa or e208 but have no proof of that yet.

    It was charging at over 40kw at 93% which suggests the 50kw charger version of it won't be totally useless for long trips either.

    Quick question on the service plans there lads. I know it’s been talked about before but with the new software on here it’s impossible to find anything.

    Was the “L Service Plan” ever €1450 ? Or it was always €648 ? My dealership emailed me and cold called me pushing it on me on Thursday.

    He's full of it I'd say. It has recently changed, the basic service plan is now included (because they added the price to the OTR charge) but you can upgrade to the L for €350 or something.


    But not a hope in hell it was ever €1400.

    That said, if you're likely to need a set of tyres during the life of the service plan it's very good value to have the L.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    Is it just one service after 2 years included in the plan, or what’s the service schedule?

    Schedule is every 2 years I think, so the pack includes your first one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    Cool thanks. So presuming a new set of tyres cost around 500€ there’s definitely value in the L plan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,658 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Definitely. I do plenty of miles and I don't hold back on the accelerator so I'll easily go through 2 sets in my 3 years of PCP.

    I'm heading to Dundrum tomorrow from Wexford and just wondering if the destination chargers are well signposted in the shopping centre? I can't say I ever noticed them before but I was driving my Golf then so I wasn't looking for them either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,298 ✭✭✭KCross


    It was always ~€600 for the L service plan.

    As stated before, if you will use a set of tyres within the timeframe its worth it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭sy_flembeck


    eCars chargers are on the entrance floor but if you go down 1 level the Pod Point chargers are there. They're free and usually a plug & play job. Easier to intall the app first though because occasionally you'll be prompted for it. Both charge banks are in the same place on the 2 floors ie, as you exit the mall to the car park they're on your left



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,235 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    I have free credit on my VW card as a first mover so don't mind using the eCars one.

    Its either top up there when I'm in the centre or hit Ionity on the way home.

    6 month update on my ID3 Tech...

    Have put 17k on it already.

    I've loved 2 cars in my lifetime. My Vauxhall Nova SR during my boy racer days back in Scotland, and this ID3.

    I imagine for most people your first electric car just has an identity that you can't help loving.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,658 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    For those who got an ID3 recently, does it have the decals on the rear pillar?


    I thought it was only on 1st edition but apparently its an option on later cars too, although a slightly different pattern.


    I think it's crap looking and just want to make sure I don't get it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,067 ✭✭✭✭fits


    You’d have to have selected the copper or silver styling pack.

    Thoughts re service plan,good very good value for money,IF you get a set of tyres rather than 4 linglong/landsail/el cheepo muck.as a reference point Goodyear efficient grip perf is 139 from ooeneo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭DermoMIO


    thanks Phil, I thought as much but wasn’t certain, I knew it was value if you needed new tyres after 2 years but honestly couldn’t remember if it was ever that price.

    I put 12k on my eGolf in the space of 14 months & 4K on the ID3 since May but not sure if I’d need new tyres after 2 years tbh.

    Here is the charging curve of the base model 45kWh model with 50kw charger:


    It is not particularly impressive taking 60 minutes to fill to 100% and it begins to throttle above 70% but it is still effective for travelling distances. 100kw is the first option I'd be buying on a base model ID.3 before paint or alloys.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,403 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    Are they selling that model in Ireland? I thought they are only selling the 58kwh +



  • Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    45kwh is available for sale in UK so I don't see why it won't come to Ireland.

    Just home now with 27% from Dundrum. A round trip of 234KM. Drove to the speed limits where possible but there was a strech of motorway from Dundrum to the Bray exit on the way home where I was stuck at around 30KM which reduced my average speed on the way home.

    IMG_20210725_095343~2.jpg IMG_20210725_144334~2.jpg

    Very happy with the consumption considering a good portion of the journey is motorway.

    Seen a few non first editions that didn't have the decal, I think it's with the style pack or something

    Stupid question guys, sorry, but; by or before the end of the service plan, can you demand a new set of tyres or is it up to the service centre to say if your tyres are knackered enough to warrant new ones? I guess it's likely you'll need them by the end of the plan anyway, but just making sure that you can get the new tyres regardless of your current tyres' condition..? Thanks!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,615 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    It's a point worth checking with the dealership but since the service plan includes the tyres either way then my guess is that they'll replace them at the end of the 3 years regardless of wear, assuming they weren't replaced before that
