14k on mine. Loved every minute of driving it:)
Yes, quite high considering lock down for a lot of the year..
Gave her a good birthday wash and quick detail earlier, really impressed with the quality of paint. Not even a stone chip as yet..
That's a fair few Km's there eagerv, only 10.5k on mine. Still waiting on part 2 of the update to 2.3 but lovin every single drive in it still.
Happy Birthday Brid 😀, 1 year old today, almost 19K trouble free km, enjoying every trip. OK I will forgive you for the few minor hissies when new.
😍🎂
Lol, you'e lucky, this morning was a lot better than yesteday but heavy from Rathcoole so I turned off by Kingswood for Park West.
Did you get to try out the travel assist ?
I think the included cable is just over 5m, I've got a side by side driveway and the cable is just long enough to go around the corner to the charger beside the house
End to end parking might be a challenge with that cable, you may end up getting a longer one
Any non 1st movers get the 2.3 update yet?
I guess it must be gen 1 :) then
I have the original car charger when I got the grant in Dublin so can get that installed as well when doing the new, Just need to check the cable length on the ID3 when it comes, as I cant do // parking, will be end to end
I'm guessing it's a Gen 1 Leaf with a Type 1 plug?
If you already have a charger for the Leaf you could get another charger with load sensing run off the same circuit
I did this with my existing EO Mini, I got a Zappi installed with a CT clamp on the input to both chargers
I set a limit of 32A on the Zappi and since the Leaf only charges at 16A I still have half power for the ID.4 if they're both plugged in. Once the Leaf finishes the ID.4 will get full power
Thanks KC, so that wont work as I need to be able to charge the leaf as well
Sorted
Capacitive sensors on the wheel, so you'll need a real hand. Quick trip to the morgue with a saw should sort you out, just remember to keep your spare hand in the fridge otherwise it'll get a bit smelly
There's also a camera watching the driver to see if they're slumped over, so you'll need to duck tape yourself in an upright position
All in all, probably easier to just hold the wheel yourself 😁
Trip to Dublin was grand! Left with 90%. Still have 63% after 130 km mostly motorway. Traffic is nothing like 2019 this morning at least.
App finally updated for android. Now has the correct colour & wheels for the car.
Still a pathetic effort of an app though.
There's a camera in the smaller screen pointed at the driver so maybe that monitors hands on the wheel?
I built myself two fake hands so I can sleep and the car drives me to where I am going.
I wouldn't be surprised if people started doing that. I wonder what sensors the id3 are using to detect hands. Is it heat sensitive rather than a bit of weight/gripping force applied to the steering wheel.
Yeah if I hit cruise control, it will flash the orange line and bump me back in so that's LKA I suppose.
Travel Assist lights up both lines in green and steers in the centre of the lane.
Well then like I said it's just the base model then,pity I'm such a tight wad...... Lol
I hate to bust your bubble guys but the LKA/travel assist is absolute sh1te in the ID3 ,well it is in the base model anyway.
Your base model has "Lane Assist", not "Travel Assist".
They are different things and as you said Lane Assist just tells you that you are about to cross the white line and nudges you back into the lane. It does not keep you centred in the lane.... Travel Assist is supposed to keep you centred.
I’m not really used to it yet. I am afraid it will switch off without warning. 😀
the front assist thing will be good in traffic though I think.
I remember Silent Running saying something along the lines of his Ioniq was good, Niro better and ID.3 Tour better again.
Our Ioniq is quite good, but not as good as on the Honda I had before. (Re lane keep/follow)
The base ID.3 like mine does not have travel assist. The one mad lad and others are getting does..
Compare to the venerable Ioniq28,jam a bottle of coke in the steering wheel as a counter weight et voila,auto steer as long as there's lines, right down the middle,
ID3 plays ping pong from one line to the other then gives up after about three cycles ,only useful if your dozy and forget to steer and then only for a very short period.
Got the call this morning from dealer that the car has landed and is ready for pick up this week. Can’t wait to get hands on it now. Won’t be getting charger installed until next Tuesday but shouldn’t be an issue with plenty chargers around the locality if needed
Ah yeah, hands on the wheel is what all cars with such systems make you do every few seconds but I'd be using it mostly for motorways so hopefully take some of the sting out of that, I was never expecting it to take bends like say on the n7 to M50 junction.
The adaptive cruise will be real nice too.
Public transport in Ireland ? Eah, no. lol.
I filled in a special form at handover and apparently that goes to SSE.
ive recently switched contract to SSE an was assured the discount would be applied when the paperwork goes through.
I contacted my VW dealer to ask about the SSE €675 credit, and they sent me back an EEOS EV/Homeowner waiver. This seems to be something to do with getting a charger installed so I presume they've given me the wrong thing.
Anyone been through this process and can advise on what they should be doing?
@[Deleted User] Travel Assist is nice, but could be better. It does require hands on the wheel every 5-10 seconds which is reasonable. But the big issue for me is that it can turn off at any stage (including when going around a bend which is fun) and gives no warning.
If for whatever reason the car loses sight of the lines, it just hands back full steering but with no warning tone at all.
I've only ever lost time going that way. I actually used to drive over to N11 and up that way, but I live further away from that route now and it doesnt make as much sense. Getting to UCD is a pain in the HOOP!
In an ideal world we'd be parking our EVs at the M50 and taking public transport from there.
