I’m not sure about the red. Wonder what it will look like. I’d like to see the id4 blue and yellow on Id.3. The colours available are very muted except for the turquoise

That’s confirmed now on the VW website for 2022 models, charging up to 125kW DC and Area View now added

Tour versions already had 125 Kw charging ?

But the belief is that all versions get a small max DC charging boost in the Autumn and more to follow, rumour is that the id4 is to get up to 170 Kw so can't see why this can't be applied to id3 tours.

Interesting is that the id 3 tour 5 according to my specs on the website include insulated glass, the original specs did not say this.

Mine also shows 2021 model, I ordered first week in May.

Weird that in the 22 model year, delivery has gone up 30% (from €1,000 to 1,300). It hasn't driven the ROTR prices up by that much, but I wonder what the rationale is.

They have to socially distance the cars on the carrier now due to delta variant

Anyone know how big a job it is to wire speakers in the rear doors?

I see the new July 1st price list has “service”, included, the small print says

“Service Plan includes one service, with pollen filter and brake fluid replacement”

So i assume, that accounts for the €300 increase.

It's a pain in the ass, have to remove all the trim not to mention the door trims and you'd have to add sound insulation to the door panels too which will definitely help quality and rattles. Then you have to run the wires, it's not easy take off the panels with the little latches on the plastic panels around the window switch panel.

I think you can buy the wiring loom on the internet, it really is quite appalling that the rear would have no speakers but I know Germans, they will do anything to save a few Euros !

Considering it isn't due a service for 2 years that's a bit of a scam

2.3 update is imminent apparently. Don’t know what’s in it though.

Looks like Youtube's Battery Life is spilling the beans when the gag order lifts at midnight.

Meh... I'll wait until breakfast.

Stolen from ID4 thread. €675 free credit with Airtricity for new VW electric cars registered between July and December.

I see that it says up to 675e in free credit... I've read through terms and anything else I could find but no explanation of what determines the up to.
Maybe you must incur at least 675e on bills to offset the credit, but anybody gone through with it and have any info?

I thought their 30% electricity day/night rates were pretty decent to be fair

Batterylife has details of the 2.3 update.

Will be factory installed in cars from build week 25 onwards.

Not an awful lot. Improvements to head light directions, blindspots etc, not on base model. Improved hud and tweaking of acc on distance of where a car is in front
And a few tweaks of the infotainment screen and id light will perform more funtions.

From the video:

2.3 coming this week
3 waves - small 1st wave, the first movers (around Wednesday), rest early august
VIN activated by VW
Car looks for update once a week
Download only via 4g when car is on - no download or progress indicator
You see release notes when download complete
Update runs while car parked
Car unusable during the update
Two updates - campaign 1 - 40 mins to install
Campaign 2 - 6.5 GB - around 3 hours to install
Campaign 1 improves the Lane camera - better detection of other cars and lanes (no mention of keeping centre of lane)
Campaign 2 - more id light functions (warns if too close to car in front, keep hand on wheel, efficiency assist (eg approaching roundabout), turtle mode
Updated look to infotainment screen
Everything else is behind the scenes
Cars built from wk 25 have 2.3 preinstalled
More frequent smaller updates in future

Reports from German forums where some users managed to install in weeks ago say overall system performance much better

Do the car tyres of the Style have standard valves or TPMS valves?

Sam the Sham

What exactly is the "additional underfloor luggage compartment" on the Family model? I can't find anything about it anywhere.

Where is it? How much does it hold?

Also: is 2-zone AC of any value in a car this size?

Charging timers fixed?
Disgraceful if not.

Adjustable floor in the boot so handy for putting the cables and what not under the floor. Haven't measured but would say it is probably about 10cm high (at a guess) when raised and the full width and depth of the boot. Find it useful for all this bits that are used occasionally. vw_id3_102.jpg

If you other half is a cold creature like mine then yes the 2 zone is great.

Not mentioned on the video but in the meinid.com German forum some had tested them and said they work now

Right you are! However, I think some of the lower spec models got a bump from 100 to 120kW DC charging just looking across the two brochures.

Life MY22
Battery charging capacity - max. 11kW AC, max. 120kW DC

Life MY21
Battery charging capacity - max. 11kW AC, max. 100kW DC

I see the new business models now come with alloys as standard.

I wonder would fitting non id.3 specific alloys to a style affect range much?

Not sure about others but I just got an email officially confirming the 3 month extension for the ID.3 1st owners for the free charging...

“ The last few months have been a great challenge for most of us and individual mobility looked different for many of us a few months ago. We are therefore pleased to inform you that we have extended the term of the We Charge Plus First Edition tariff for our ID.3 1st customers by an additional 3 months which allows you to continue to use the included charging credit.”

Weight and aerodynamics would be the one to watch.
I think tyres would be the main one.
You would need to make sure they clear the front discs.

I got a statement for mine the other day and I still have €560 credit left :pac:
