Congrats, well wear!
You're definitely lucky, Ordered my tour 5 last week in April, still waiting!
Thanks for the heads-up, will do.
Ya, have seen your frustration through your post's. My dealer said he has no idea how mine got built and delivered so quick, luck of the draw plus the fact it was the base model.
Picked up mine last evening, the adaptive cruise is awesome
😀
HaHa. Best of luck, enjoy..
And pics, or it didn't happen.....😊
Worked a treat..Good info to know for the future . Many thanks
Build week 36 here on a Tour - just entered production here. How long from the first day of production has it taken those who went for one?
Did you get the entered production status from the dealer or are you basing it on the production week supplied by the dealer?
are their third party Bike racks for the ID3? Im guessing the VW one is pricey
If you have the trailer hitch then I'd say any hitch mouted bike rack will work

I have the Thule hang down - cheaper option than the carriers.
they’re usually available on the second hand websites too. Although having bought a new car maybe it’s a meaningless saving?
Anyway, it works well as would any other towbar mounted rack I reckon.
The big disadvantage is that the rear plate is no longer visible which is probably, technically, illegal.
i could stick a light board and plate on, but it would be messy and would negate the simple cheap option I’ve opted for.
If I get done I’ll let you all know.
wifes ID3 has 0 screens working. Wife went out in the car, worked fine. I decided to take it instead of my own car and I noticed the screens are black and none of the driver aids are working ( including parking sensors )
Maybe just a reset on something, but its sort of undrivable with no speedo
same colour!!! I didnt think of asking for the trailer hitch, is that expensive?
1300 fitted but its not a trailer hitch, its just for bikes, too high up for a trailer.
I wouldnt get the use out of to justify that, that's the price of a new bike. are the standard hatch tie on bike racks suitable for the ID3?
Screenshot from the dealer's tracking system showing it started assembly on Friday
Dont know, we have 2 e-bikes. 30 kg each so tie on NFG
I don’t know what the official line is but I wasn’t happy with the way my saris bones sat on the roof and bumper.
Maybe if you were less fussy/paranoid you could get away with it.
The boot lid is made of plastic so not rated to carry anything.
Your dealer seems to be good. Its been difficult so far to get info from my dealer. I will contact him after week 45 when my car is supposed to be built
In Dublin again this morning and I have to say the car is brilliant. Travel assist really helps.
was driving the diesel SUV at weekend and it felt so slow and unwieldy by comparison.
Hmmm - Rang dealer told to call VW emergency assist. Waiting 14 mins before someone answered. They then took nearly 5 mins to put me through to ID emergency assist - now queued with them. My car is in the drive, Id hate to get stuck on the side of the road with these clowns
What a dream to drive..Pic as promised..Also had the sales guy upgrade the Wheel covers, from
plain to the Alloy look alike..Looks the biz.
quick update if anyone is interested.... Recovery truck arrived and the car was working fine......👀
Looks great, silver looks sharp, like it. Big improvement to the wheels as well. Incredible the difference it makes..
People seem to like the Grey with the Black, its funny how neighbours that I wouldnt know beyond Hello were curious about the car
Amazing the difference a drop of few degrees make. I do mainly short trips less than 5km on my daily commute, was averaging 14 kWh/100 km, today 20kwh/100 km. Battery heating problem is still there! Oh well back to 300 km range.
I had something similar with my Ioniq after a short journey a few weeks ago.
Apparently even allowing for the ID3 battery heating - this can be normal on short journeys in cooler weather.
Departure tax a boards EV regular described it as when I asked about it.
I used 2% more battery on my commute this week, but i travelled a bit further too.
