Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I'm a tall person and I find it very hard to get comfortable in the car because the steering wheel is not telescopic. I have to push the driver seat all the way back and all the way down and have the steering wheel at max height to be able to drive comfortably with E-pedal ONLY because if I need to press the brake, my knee will hit the base of the steering wheel...
Visibility is poor due to insanely thick A pillars and the sensor box behind the mirror...
Outdated reversing camera, and a very mid-focused sound system (on non-Bose versions)
Headlights on non-LED versions are pure garbage for the price of the car..
Plastic everywhere in the car - the center console eats up leg room and seems to be made of the cheapest plastic they could find. Mega bulky door panels that eat up cabin room
I can go on and on with things that I found I really don't like in only a few months. Some of these might matter less for some people but for me are critical if I'm gonna pay over 20k for a car (regardless if it is electric or not).
I ended up trading it in for exactly my asking price on a dealer and got a Golf in which I find that I have more room in as a tall person while the car is smaller

Following with interest...
When are you expecting your ID3 to be available? I'm told I can have mine by the end of July (I haven't ordered yet) so not sure when to list the i3.0 -

Just so you know, I was told I'd have my ID.4 in January, then March, then late April
I still haven't collected it

Nothing new here. Hot cars that are in high demand and good value for money. Same happened with my Hyundai Ioniq well over 4 years ago. Also took nearly 2 months longer than expected
To be fair, when the salesman said VW were talking about January delivery I basically called BS on it. He said he didn't believe it either but that's what he'd been told
The extra demand for the US market caused UK & Ireland to be bumped down the list as well
Lockdowns and chip shortages probably took their toll as well, and container ships getting wedged in the Suez to boot :rolleyes:
It's been an interesting year for supply chains for sure

So the time has come to move on our 30kWh Nissan Leaf in PWO, FSH, 70k kms, well taken care of and at last test the battery is at 92% SOH.

Anyone have any experience of the import/export process with the North? And I mean going to there, not coming from there.
I'm looking at flogging the i3 soon and from a scan of auto trader the values seem to be pretty strong up there. Probably a bit more demand for the REx as the infrastructure north of the border is appalling.
I'd imagine it's a rarity, since most of the cars go the other way
Since NI is in the EU customs and VAT zone, you shouldn't be stung with any import duties. I imagine the process is pretty similar to importing a car into Ireland pre Brexit, you just need to pay whatever registration taxes they charge up there (Vehicle Excise Duty?)
If all else fails, you can give BoJo a ring and offer to fix up his apartment, I hear that's a great way to get stuff done now "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Apparently I can reclaim some of the VRT. If so, that would definitely give an incentive to sell up North.0 -

That's a lot of car for the money even if I say so - my own car is near identical
Goes like the clappers too, 0-60 in 3.9s. That is, if you find the traction for it, most of the time you don't, which is hilarious. The only problem with buying this car is that when it comes to the time to upgrade, you will want another one. Faster again.My ads on adverts.ie

Begs the question, what is Gumbo trading up for!!??
As you say, it's hard to go down & hard to go back to ICE from a Tesla, so my money is on a Plaid RS ETron GT Taycan Turbo S.......nope, I've no clue......not many options at that end really

eTron. Nice car but not enough for me at the moment. I’d rather buy an older GTi than a new Golf TDi if you get me.
Taycan. Not with my finances. And not something I’d buy currently. I just can’t imagine pulling up at my local Tesco express and walking out with red label tea bags
Plaid. I’d love to as this would blend in easier than the Porsche but again, not with my finances
All going well I’ll just be popping up a couple of years to a P90D Ludicrous.GLWS, couple months too early for me but I'm sure you'll find a buyer very quickly at that price.
Pity. I never even thought of selling private and it’s only now that I’ve a 2 week wait on a pet from Tesla that I said sure no harm. I haven’t even put it on DoneDeal and I don’t think I will tbh.0 -

If that would save you even just a grand compared to doing the trade in, it would be well worth the hassle. Who knows you could have the €36k in the bank before the car you're buying is even ready. Worst case scenario: you lose your €8 for the DoneDeal ad and you have to deal with a dozen time wasters My ads on adverts.ie
