    Did this 2.1 update get scheduled charging working ?

    ....
    Any info would be appreciated and will help to narrow down the decision process.

    Not fixed in 2.1, which is what we all have in our cars right now.
    Expected to be fixed in 2.3 but not confirmed here yet.

    We should start seeing 2.3 rolled out over the next 2 weeks to the ID.3 1st owners and we'll know immediately... its the first thing I'll be checking anyway!

    The 2.3 update is also supposed to be pre-installed in any new build cars at this point so if you order now it should have the charge timers working, but again we need to see it confirmed first with end users.

    So, you need to wait(1-2 weeks) and see really.

    My genius dealer, who never gets anything wrong, came back to me to confirm that the Tour now has Area View.

    He also announced that all Tour models are now coming with 5 seats...

    Pity, if it's true. I know the 4 seat is more a niche model, but suits many and one I would consider next. I wonder if there will be a higher spec Tour 5 coming?

    I'm pretty sure it's not true, he's talking out of his arse again.

    The updated MY22 brochure clearly states Tour as 4 seats.

    Depends on how much money you want to spend but until we know the charging timers are fixed you could invest in a charger with built in timers.

    EO Mini Pro, Zappi and Wallbox should all have these features, plus can have load balancing if you have some big consumers in the house like heat pump or power shower

    Otherwise, you can get a cheapo charger like QUBEV and start the charging from the app at night until the charging timers are fixed

    EDIT: Also, enjoy the car! :D

    At this point I wouldn't be surprised if you end up with a T-Roc by mistake, sounds like you've a proper guru working on your order :(

    When you saying charging timers, do you mean the one in the car (im assuming there is one)?

    EO mini pro looks like it will fit the bill


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It looks as if the Zappy is causing horrific levels of radio interference on AM, being a radio amateur that's a no no, have to be certain it's the zappy tomorrow but if it is the Zappy it has to go as it's illegal and against international regulation to use or install any electronic equipment that emits this level of interference, has to be the Zappi because it wasn't there yesterday.

    What are the advantages of tethered (other than the obvious one that you don't have to get the cable out of the car and plug in both ends)? I was thinking of getting an untethered for two reasons:

    1) A bit concerned that one of us might drive off with the car plugged in and rip the charger off the wall.

    2) I want the whole charger to be as discreet as possible as I could imagine local youths might take pleasure in destroying it. Thinking EO Mini Pro 2 for this reason.

    Well for starters, the car won't allow you drive off if plugged in. :D

    If youngsters are inclined to do damage it won't matter whether it's tethered or not.

    Tethered means less hassle, no fumbling around in the car pulling in and out cables and plugging into charge point and then into car.

    Thanks, I love that new car feeling and waking up excited to collect it, then when you sell it and waiting for the next car. Its an expensive circle but one I enjoy.

    Hopefully some sort of gti/r version of the ID3 comes out down the line and I’ll look for an upgrade.

    Way less hastle, and when winter comes, untethered means, wet cables going into your boot, actually not just winter, could be anytime here !

    I know someone with a ‘21 plug in hybrid, they are totally regretting not getting a full EV, as they are literally charging every single day from their untethered charger, as they only get 50 or kms from a full charge, and they are also regretting not getting a tethered charger, as it has to be charged every single day. I can only imagine someone charging 300 + days per year, versus someone charging only once or twice a week, must have an impact, on wearing the charging plug.


  • Registered Users Posts: 162 ✭✭kevin101


    Could you not buy an untethered unit and buy a separate cable - keep one in the boot and one in the charger. You could then secure the cable to the wall if you were worried it would be stolen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,641 ✭✭✭✭fits


    And we are back!


    hoping to get eta for my Tour early next week.



  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I think you'll be waiting, no news on mine probably due to the chip shortage.

    My guess now is that it will be end of August or Mid September, that's a hell of a wait for a car in "full production".....

    I don't have a delivery date at all.



  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    By the way, I'm not being notified of thread updates ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,352 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    Looks like we're back up and running?


    Bob Flavin did a "road trip" from Portlaoise to Kilmore last week and really liked the car.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,641 ✭✭✭✭fits


    I know theres a ship in Emden currently thats due to get into Dublin on Sunday. Dealer said he should have news monday or early tuesday which is why I was hoping it might be on it. But maybe not. Is your car not out of final production yet?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,042 ✭✭✭remoteboy


    Took delivery on Tuesday. Delighted with it.



  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]



    It's in final production for at least Two weeks but dealer had no news at all so my guess it will be weeks yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭Silent Running


    Nice! Wear well. Same colour as mine.

    I'll wave if I see you around the county. 😊

    Yeah I know its been down, but on twitter they've been promising that it would look and function much the same.


    Far from it. Even though I'm posting in this thread it doesn't show in my discussions. I can't access a list of my followed threads. It's a mess.

    Why they have a list of most of those links in the menu button at the top, but not the bookmarks, is beyond me.

    ended up buying one at the weekend, tested a Leaf last year, and an E308 a couple of weeks back, the ID3 just seemed right. Seems like I would have agonised more buying a laptop

    Id thank your post only theres no option to on desktop site lol!


    Well wear. Yeah we test drove a few cars but decision was made very quickly after driving ID.3 also. Did you get one in stock?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,136 ✭✭✭✭KCross


    It looks like the over-the-air updates are about to happen. I got an email the other day with my VIN etc and to agree to the update... so I'm expecting the 2.3 update to magically appear any day now.


    I dont care about any pricking around with the infotainment layout... they better have the charging timers fixed! 😡

    I've a first and got the confirmation mail with the link to accept the update last Friday. Still no sign of an update. The cars is supposed to poll the VW servers once a week for updates. I haven't seen anyone in various forums of the 1st mover Facebook group who has actually received the update.

    It will contain very little of new functionality but I'm hoping it will fix my constant connection issues.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,641 ✭✭✭✭fits


    best colour by far imo.


    ( but we ordered moonstone grey).
