VW ID.3

Collected my ID3 earlier, had a massive 3km on it :pac:
Family Spec model. Really impressed with it.
Obviously faster in comparison to my Ioniq. Drives really nicely, steering is nice and light for a family car. It's huge inside in comparison to what I was expecting, much more legroom. Like I'm 6'6 and even with the seat in my position an adult can fit behind me.
I got rubber mats for it there, the official ones. Got the boot one too. For very well, perfect for Irish weather and driving kids to and from training/parks etc..
One thing of note is there is now a footrest for your left foot, don't think that was on the 1st editions.
Software is 0783, 2.0.
When I started drinking earlier it offered me an OTA update. I said ok and then it went to show me the changes, but a drop down screen appeared over it saying you cannot do this while driving. Couldn't get the screen to slide up without pressing the home button, now I'm not getting the notification anymore.
Weird. One thing I was thinking was it came up as I was driving away from the dealers, would they have OTA ability at their premises?
I also plugged my OBDeleven into it. There is a tonne of information it gives, like I can see state of charge for every cell, all the temperature sensors. Will have a better look at it later.
This new car and 5km limit sucks
Any other questions let me know.
Best wishes with the new car, hope it serves you well. At least with the present temperatures there should be no battery pre heating..
Also the Ioniq was the only EV (Wifes') I had experience of before the ID.3 so looking forward to your experience.
You will have to think up a few creative essential journeys.:D0 -

You may post some pics.
It's Family Spec, so 18in alloys, panoramic sunroof, tinted windows, reversing cameras and sensors front and back. Not sure what else it has that's not on the normal one.
Pics will be after the weather is not so mucky out.There seems to be a load of them about today...
Spotted a White Pro version with steel wheels on the Strand Road in Sandymount, then later I passed a Silver one in Santry, and a third one, a white First edition Plus, in Hedigans Car park. All 211 D registrations. Anyone on here, best of luck with them.
Silver one in santry was probably me on the way back from collecting it and then collecting the rubber mats in VW off Charlestown.
I've got the app working now which was a bit of a pain to do and have it charging out front just to test it. When I went to set it up the app got the VIN no problem but then the qr code bit was a pain. It wanted to take a picture of it but it kept locking the focus on the camera (OnePlus 8 pro) to be out of focus with no way to change it, rebooted the phone and all, still the same. I got it to work by having the app open and trying to take the image then opened the actual camera app and focused on the screen and quickly swiped to swap app. It picked up the QR code thankfully before going out of focus again. Really weird.
Anyway, I like the green stripe across the dash showing the charging filling up, the Ioniq had 3 lights that flashed and lit up, this stripe is cooler.
According to the app it's charging at 41km/h.
Only annoying things so far are the getting out of the seat and car shutting down everything immediately and also I haven't figured out the locks, unlock button only opens my door and not the others. Presume it's a setting somewhere.0 -

May I ask, when did you order your ID.3? We ordered near the end of November, but still no sign of a build week. Also, is MyVolkswagen something you can see yourself? So far, I've been asking the dealer to check every so often. Eager to try to get the car before the VAT rate goes back up after February.
Coming into the final week of the month, and VAT going back up to 23% from 1 March, is anyone else hoping their ID.3 appears soon at their dealer to register before the VAT change? I think Silent Running, you were expecting your car soon, right?
I've been checking the MyVolkswagen site and the VIN still hasn't appeared for ours, so looking not so hopeful for us. The dealer told us last week that it'll arrive before 28 February for sure, so not sure what to believe now. 0 -

I spoke to my dealer about the VAT thing. He said that the price we agreed can only move one way: down.
If there is any extra cost, the dealer will absorb it. If there are any unexpected savings, they will be passed on to me. I'm not expecting any.

Hmm... interesting... I'll have a chat with my dealer also on this, thanks! When I ordered in November, his expectation was the car would arrive in January, at least well before the VAT increase (his words) which suggested to me there would be an extra cost of the 2% increase in VAT, but must have a word with him again.
If it weren't for the potential of having to pay more from 1 March, I'd rather wait a few more weeks in order to try to get even the 2.1 update on the car from the factory.0 -
