VW ID.3

But you aren't here to learn anything, all you've done is disagreed with anything that was said by each poster and then try and glorify a bloody diesel Golf. If you were actually driving something a bit different from all the other bog hoppers I could understand but a felter... Me fcukin' nerves, god give me strength 😆 Go and buy another Golf there's plenty of hoppers waiting for yours...

No software problems to report, in saying that, your favourite car in its latest guise isn't immune from the odd SW glitch but I'm sure you'll be able to get all dem lights lighting like de meriacn cars...

To be fair to the id3 and move away from talk of software updates and lads licking themselves 😬, the D and B modes are great. The intelligent regen and ability to coast is something I miss in the MY, the i3 is tiresome in comparison with extreme regen all the time, fun, but unfortunately no option to adjust.

The cars ability to allow the correct amount of regen for bends, corners, junctions, roundabouts or approaching traffic is very intuitive.

@ACAandCTA western motors rang me yesterday to cancel next weeks scheduled ‘update’. Backlog of non completed updates 👍🏻

That said, the car is going well, 35,000 on the continentals which are being replaced today. They were a good tyre, faultless actually, I could get more out of them but tyres aren’t something I’d cheap out on. Il keep one as a spare.

Range wise looking at @electricus figures I’m about the same.

Hammer the tour for 450km, drive handy and it’s 500km.

Knock 20% off each for winter. Although I’ve never seen less than 420km in winter on the Gom.

For comparison to other cars the MY rwd is hovering about 365km and the i3 a solid 110 KM (zero range drop over 180,000km’s)…

Totally completely and absolutely disagree with e-uo statement.They are a fabulous little thing utterly unpretentious an just as well screwed together as any Volkswagen adequately quick superb ride for the size of it the whole "connectedness" is pretty basic and th UI is wait for it......Buttons exceeds quoted range all the time.I like mine at least as much as the ID

It was the Bridgestones that were splitting.

Goodyears were splitting, Bridgestones were just shyte.

I had loads as well I cleared them off. Did you change anything? I tried entering various controllers but couldn't, I got the controller not responding message so I just left it.

Just to reply to the various comments on efficiencies and quoted GOM ranges.

As an experiment I did a spin for 15kms or so and deliberately kept my average speed achieved to 55kph. My resultant efficiency was 8.4km/kWh(about 12kWh/100km. Impressive you might say and the range on 100% charge will be well over 400kms. Some clarifying observations might help..............

1.55kph average speed is actually very slow on most roads unless you are driving around the city. 2. Driving on the open road (80/100kph) speed limits and driving to these speed limits your average speed will be much higher at say 70 to 80 kph depending on time of day traffic levels etc. 3. At these higher average speeds the efficiency achieved will be a lot less due to exponentially increased drag forces (proportional to velocity squared) at perhaps around 6km/kWh or so. 4. It is possible to get over 400kms range (58kWh battery) but ONLY if you maintain the (slow) average speed of 55kph for the entire 400 km trip AND assuming that weather/road/elevation conditions are very benign. 5. GOM range reflects past history efficiency achieved at a particular average speed under specific weather conditions and is a poor predictor of future range unless you manage to replicate the same journey at the same average speed with the same weather conditions. 6. So if you want to predict what range you are likely to have you have to ask yourself 1st what average speed you want to achieve- and of course traffic and weather conditions depending.

Apparently I need a front driver side drop link.

Would that be a warranty job or just wear & tear?

Sounds painful😁.

'Physician, heal thyself'.

Joking aside, I would be surprised if VW don't consider that normal wear and tear, but worth chancing it..
