VW ID.3

Was sent the price for mine today. Even though I selected the black wheels that were free on the online build there is a charge on them and it mentions the performance tyres. Was able to add the iq drive like somebody here suggested. Those are the only options as I went with the colour black and will chance my arm without the heat pump. Still don't have an estimate on when it will arrive.

Yep, but the person is doing me a favour ordering it with a discount. I'm not going to be doing any back and fourth like I would with a dealer. Never kick a gift horse as the saying goes.

I'm more worried about road noise in the cabin than the extra price. I take it I can't change to 215 when changing tyres as the wheels will be a different width?

If the noise in the cabin is too much I'll change them to the thinner ones when they are out. Thanks.

I saw a Born vz video that I now can't remember, but they seemed to have more fun on the 215's because they were sqeeling with more rear body movement compared to the 235's where they said it was faster and more assured. I rarely drive in a "spirited" manor these days so would have happily taken the 215's for less noise, only really use power in a straight line these days.

Ordered mine on the 1st October and picked it up from the garage on the 22nd January

was keyless entry an option on the 2020 /2021 cars?

It wasnt in the base trim, it was standard in the plus and max trims.

From what I saw elsewhere it was a lot longer. I'd have a bit of a problem if it's 9 weeks. Still haven't got an estimated time on my one.

Acording to engineering explained the difference in efficiency is close to nothing when it comes to width and more got to do with wheel size and and tyre wall size. Noise wasn't taken into account in his measurements and that is what I would be concerned with.

I think you'll get the base GTX quick enough as some of them have been delivered already but the GTX Perf Plus seems to be taking longer (initially at least). Cant see you getting one in 9 weeks unless things have changed recently.

Still waiting on mine, ordered in Oct! 🤨

Its in the country, just not outside my house!

I also ordered my GTX Performance Plus in mid-October. Expecting delivery next week.

Do you have more info on this trim? I can see it referenced on my order as “1NL Trims for alloy wheels” but can’t find any pictures / reference of it elsewhere. Apparently I have them on my current 18” wheels too 🤷‍♂️

There are some GTX Performance Plus variants, already with customers.

i sat into one on Feb 8th, it was being collected later that day, and he said a few had already been collected in previous weeks. Lovely car, was very impressed

MEB based cars "support" it but it would require a new charger in your house that is many thousands to buy and Im not sure its even available to buy here.

So, I would forget any notions of having V2H or V2G in the medium term on this car.

It doesnt have V2L either, which is disappointing from VW, as other cars like eNiro etc have it for a while now.
