360km matches my experience also,65km round trip daily,30 rural loads of appreciable hills 35 120kph dual carriageway and motorway,sometimes ACC,sometimes could be arsed,18-20 on aircon depending,I dont hang about neither do I drive like a loon.
Long term consumption after 4000km is 16.8kwh/100.
58kw 200brake ID3 life
I kept it to 100 on the motorway because I wasnβt in a hurry and was enjoying the music on Deezer and wanted to keep cabin noise at a reasonable level. Good to know 110 doesnβt take much of an extra hit.
Going by my average miles per kWh so far, my Tour is on track for about 270 miles / 430 km.
Reset maximum charge to 80% on app and saved setting and plugged in to charge overnight. Surprised to see car charged to 100% this morning. Memo to self - donβt trust app charge limit setting, check setting on infotainment system!
Same thing happened to me a few weeks back. I love the car but VW havenβt a clue how to write software.
It's even worse on our e-Golf! On such an incline going backwards, once you engage reverse and tap the accelerator, the car rolls forward first once the auto hold disengages! Even if you give it plenty of power, it'll always roll slightly forward, and then you have to worry about applying too much power going backwards, so bit of a dance on the accelerator. Takes getting used to. It seems a bit better on our ID.3 though.
A weird rubbing / rattle developed over the weekend, and it seems to be coming from the dashboard, right where the softer rubbery plastic bit meets the harder plastic right before the HUD display enclosure. It's a constant rattle except for on the smoothest of road surfaces, so it's getting a tad annoying. When I push down on the rubbery plastic piece right where it joins the harder plastic during driving (dangerous, yep, but was trying it out when slow...) it seems to resolve it mostly. Will need a dealer visit, I guess.
Anyone else have this issue? π―
Iβve had a few rattles. Dealer sorted 2 out of 3. Last one requires a new rear seat latch, which is on order, and that was the worst and most annoying rattle. Common enough too I think
like yourself the car was fine on smooth surfaces but corners and rough roads caused rattles. Annoying for sure. German engineering isnβt perfect eitherπ
cant fault the dealer or service though. Once they fix them (and the charge timers) the car is brilliant.
I just checked my bank account and I paid the deposit on the 29th April or the money was taken then, deal could have been done a day or two earlier I don't remember.
I feel like cancelling tomorrow, going to be 2 weeks wait ( for whatever reason ) from when the car lands on the Island, almost September now so that will be mid September if it was delivered next week but it's not even on the horizon so going to be end of October at the very least for a my21 car ? I really feel like pulling the plug and just keeping the i3. Sick of this nonsense, people ordering their cars weeks after me getting them months before me is a joke!
It's some pain alright. Hope they will have more info for you soon, hate waiting for something and not getting any firm date.
Have other Tour 5 been delivered, thought they were the Tours that came recently?
Circling back on this topic.
I took out the "L Package Service Plan" which cost β¬648 and includes a set of 4 tyres. It was an easy decision once I saw that I was going to need new tyres within the first year.
So, anyway, I booked it in and had a discussion with the service manager beforehand and discussed what tyres I wanted. There was no quibble. Its a like for like tyre (no cheaping it out) and I said I didnt want the Bridgestones again and requested the Goodyear's and thats exactly what they provided..... Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance.
Hopefully I get more mileage out of these. The grip is still fine with the Goodyear's and I had those tyres before on the Leaf and got 20k km's from them so lets see how they fare.
One interesting thing was the girl at the front desk wanted to charge me for the tyres. She didnt spot that it was a service plan and asked me for β¬900+ for the 4 tyres!! π€£
With great pleasure I told her she can go ask VW for that money as I aint paying her a penny!
Summary... the L service package is WELL worth the money if you know you will need a set of tyres. Even if you go to an independent tyre garage you are still looking at a minimum of β¬600 to fit 4 tyres and more if you have the larger rims. And I still have cover for the mandatory service which will be due next year and includes brake fluid, wiper blades and cabin filter and brake pads if required(cant imagine they will though).
You can be sure a main dealer service from VW will not be β¬100 on the ID's. I bet it will be β¬250+ since it includes those parts which will have main dealer pricing attached to them.
TL;DR: Get the L service plan if you need tyres.
Yeah one but he won't let my dealer ave it yet, it's white but I can live with that. If I got it from him I would loose the 0% interest but it's the only tour 5 not sold.
I just wish I could get more info from the VW site without having to contact the dealer all the time.
Interesting, thanks for thatποΈ.
Do you notice any difference with the noise level of the Goodyears? Same as my tyres, I feel they are a fairly hard tyre, but grip as you say is good. I have almost 18K on mine now, there is some wear, but expect at least 25K out of them. Good to hear they aren't scrimping on quality with the service plan (Which I also have).
Do you notice any difference with the noise level of the Goodyears?
Not really or it's just hard to tell because my own tyres were to the limit so had become noisy anyway, so you will always have an improvement on new tyres.
Although the Goodyears are rated slightly better than the Bridgestones for noise level (70dB vs 71dB).
Still waiting for mine... It arrived on the last ship but my dealer is still waiting for it after nearly 3 weeks. NVD must have delivered to the wrong dealer or some nonsense like that π
Cars cost big bucks, we should demand much better service!
Unfortunately for us mere consumers, NVD basically have a monopoly in this country, so theyΒ can drop a car off the truck a month late covered in dents and still expect to be thanked for it π¬
It'll be worth it in the end I'm sure
The ships have both been at anchor for over a week now. Hopefully they will be bringing yours on next journey.
the wait is a killer alright though.
does anyone know of this "product" that protects the interior cloth ?
I laughed when one of the sales men tried to sell it to me - but in fact I would like something that could protect it if possible ( particularly if I can buy it much cheaper after market )
Anything is possible I suppose, Haven't heard anything from the dealer so suppose they don't know anything and he said that they are having a hard time getting any info from VW.
First lengthy journey this afternoon. Attended the Donegal EV group meet first where the ID3 was the second most common car with 3 on site. Only the e-Niro surpassed it.
Anyway excuse the choice of units. I'm a dinosaur and proud.
Left Letterkenny this morning on about 82%. 203 miles later I was at 9%.
I was expecting to hit around 3.1 m/kWh so averaging 3.4 was a pleasant surprise.
Iβd be interested too.
Average speed 38mph... I thought you said you had a heavy right foot?! π
With a fair amount of it driving through traffic, yep. About 70 miles of motorway driving at 75mph is soon balanced out by all the little towns between Derry and Toome with 30mph limits, and then hitting Belfast.
Average speeds are always misleading. My lifetime average in the car is a piddling 22mph for example.
And if you are sitting in the car stationary with it powered up it includes it in your driving.
I believe it's a product by Gard X that all the VW dealers are peddling
There's a few posts about it on the motors forum, reviews seem to range from good to poor. It seems to help prevent stains, but it doesn't work miracles. If your child spills an entire carton of juice over the back of the car, that's going to be a nightmare no matter what
Personally, I've never had Gard X and I wasn't convinced by what I saw. The fabric in the ID.4 seats also seems to have a bir of dirt repellence built in anyway. I got some covers for the back seats in my ID.4. I found some on Amazon which cover the base of the seat and allow the child seats to be connected to the ISOFIX points. I put on in the middle seat as well, just to be safe
The child seats bear the brunt of the dirt, so they need the most cleaning. The covers stop and rice crispies or anything from falling into the cracks in the seats, never to be cleaned again. The carpets get a bit mucky with dirty shoes, but that's what they're there for. The door interiors get a bit greasy looking, especially the f*cking black gloss that is designed to get dirty, but they're no worse than the front of the car
I'm getting some seat back protetctors as well, as I've noticed some footprints on the back of the passenger seat π¬
After a summer of owning the car and a few long trips with young kids the car only needs a good hoover and interior shampoo
Anyone getting or got a ceramic coat ?
I'm considering this as the advantages seem to be significant.
Booked in last June (Or perhaps earlier), but fella had big queue, hopes to be able to do in Sept. He said he had a good few Teslas to do with Titan Vulcan, saw a white one he had done, looked great.
I got it done shortly after getting the car. I think VW offer it but they never mentioned it to me.
It is surprising how many small swirl marks were on the car when it arrived.
I considered it but went for the bodywork insurance instead. Figured that ceramic coating can fail but money fixes everything π
My plan is to get as much of the bodyworkfixed up as I can close to the end of the PCP so the car is looking well before I send it in for trade in
Having said that, I've already scratched my alloys so perhaps a bit of protection there woudn't go amiss π
