Any idea what range would be in middle of winter on motorway, Ie <5c with heat on? I’m guessing 250km?
I'd say it'll still manage 300km in anything but snow. Preheating the car while plugged in should save a lot of energy after the first few km
Ask me next January and I'll know more

Did a test run of loading the camping gear into the boot today, happy to report there was plenty of space for everything
From bottom to top:
4 folding chairs
5 person tent (Coleman rocky mount 5)
2 double air beds
Double sleeping bag
Double buggy (Out n Abount Nipper double)
Have a few more bulky items to pack in like the kids sleeping bags, camping table and cool box but I'm confident I'll have no issues
Also, I found an interesting accessory that came with the car. Apparently kids in Germany must be a nightmare if the parents feel the need to partition them off while driving
Can't say I disagree with them "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Is that an entire back bench seat cover? I just got the kick mats myself, nothing more. Worried what I'll find when I take a car seat out.
Boot is great though. Those out and about doubles are massive! Did you remove the false floor?0 -

I got some covers for the seat base to put under the car seats, there's 3 in a row, one for the middle seat. Dirt can still get in between them, but they should hopefully stop any ice cream or juice or anything from staining the seats
Yeah I took the false floor out and parcel shelf. It really opens up a lot of space. I was a bit worried originally because the buggy takes up a lot of the boot when the floor is in the top post, but in the end it all got in there
Doing a weekend trip soon hopefully, will be sure to post the stats and see how the suitcase and buggy fit into the boot. The Leaf would have been majorly struggling to fit both "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Got 1 buggy (uppababy vista), 1 decent sized suitcase, 1 decent sized overnight bag, a box of toys (size of a kallax unit box), laptop bag, shopping bag of snacks and essential "my kids can't live without these foods" things, and a scooter into the boot. Along with jackets and boots. Could take the parcel shelf out if needs be, but that's about all we needed for a weeks holiday0 -
VW had this live chat today
+++ Volkswagen Innovation Talk 2021: Software ist der Schlüssel zur Zukunft! +++
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kga-P50KEXc
My German isn't great but the title is "Software is the key to the future", hopefully it will be subtitled at some point.
There's lots of mention of 2.3 but little about 2.2.
Nice shot at 32:40 of ID.3/ID.4/ID.Buzz driving together.
Some German forums are discussing 2.2 being available around 22nd June.
"Apparently the dealer portal is now being supplied with the first updates for the ME 2.2. I am assuming that the files should also be available on the VW servers before starting the ORU (OTA) update to ME 2.2 in week 24/21."
Should that update be over the air or require a trip to the dealer?

Jaysis, they could do with dropping down the original voice volume, it's like trying to listen to 2 people at once
I'm hoping it'll be OTA but I wonder what happens if the update fails, will they let you retry or will it be a trip to the dealership"The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

Call customer care. Lol
Around 33 minutes in that video she mentions the can update controllers to Accelerate charging... Wonder is that a hint towards 175kW charging... Or a translation error0 -

VWGI customer service response below re Ionity rates. Trying to hide behind a disclaimer is poor in my opinion but not unexpected, it looks like they are now acknowledging that there was an issue but won't do anything about it.....I'm not finished digging yet....
They are trying to pour cold water over it so that you dont go all guns blazing with solicitors letters.... thats really the only way they will change direction by the sound of it.
Whether that disclaimer covers them or not is debatable though. It depends on exactly what wording was used earlier. Was it an ongoing committment or did it say they could change it without notice.... if they said they could change it without notice then you'd have to accept that they have now changed it and thats the new price and suck it up.
If they said it was a committment for X years or for 1st edition customer or whatever then you could argue the disclaimer doesnt apply... but you'd need to lawyer up for that! 0 -

Looks like anyone with an ID.4 or ID.3 will jump straight to 2.3 when the OTA comes out
"The ID.Software2.2 was an (all-wheel drive only) software update for the ID.4 GTX. The next available software update for the ID.3 will be the ID.Software2.3. You need the ID.Software2.1 as a base for that. Best regards, your ID. Team “
Article on De Welt today about VWs future plans, worth reading...
7 euros per hour for autonomous driving - this is how VW wants to earn money in the future
https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article231681663/7-Euro-pro-Stunde-fuer-Autonomes-Fahren-so-will-VW-bald-Geld-verdienen.html
"Instead of deciding on extras before buying a car, customers can then book additional functions by the hour or by the day.
With autonomous driving, we can imagine that we switch it on by the hour. We assume a price of around seven euros per hour. So if you don't want to drive yourself for three hours, you can do so for 21 euros, ”said Klaus Zellmer, VW's Board Member for Sales. "That makes autonomous driving accessible for everyone - and not just for those who can afford a car with a five-digit surcharge.
When asked when Volkswagen will start offering computer games in the car, he said: “It won't be that long. During the loading breaks, even if they only last 15 minutes, we want to offer customers something.
in the future, ID drivers should be able to easily make their car available as a car sharing vehicle on an hourly basis via an app.
2.2, 2.3, whatever. The change log is all I want to see! No idea of when yet.
The buying extras for the car was publicised a while back. I like the idea (since I don't drive much) but I've no doubt there'll be a catch.
Will the games be free, or a subscription like autonomous driving?
The car sharing thing is called WeShare.0 -

Different if I'm working from home and going away for the weekend but then again, if I'm only driving longer distance a couple of times a month on a long trip I'd probably want to drive myself, this is just extorting people really but the tech should become standard in my opinion because the standard of driving is absolutely appalling and getting worse especially as more and more people use smart phones in their cars.
At that rate above for autonomous driving I'd be as well off on the bus or in a Diesel car the benefits of EV would be completely wiped out at those prices. I might consider a monthly payment though if it was reasonable.
I imagine there'll be subscription offers as well as an ad hoc rate, similar to we charge
The advantage is that it's autonomous, you don't need to drive the car, it's basically a taxi. So that's the prices you need to compare against
For €20 I could bring myself and my family from Dublin to Cork using the autonomous package, cheaper than the bus "The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

They could go with a mobile phone type contract where you buy the car a lot cheaper and they rape you on monthly charges.
At the end of the day it's just really plain old greed.
If the Greens get their way the Motorway speed limit will be 80 Km/hr and the average speed will be introduced on the motorways and pay per Km driving and at that point I will quit work on mental health grounds and get paid to sit at home and have plenty of time for my Kids and Hobbies, I'd easily fool them on mental health grounds and go on the Sick as I have plenty of posts here to prove I'm a total nut job! :rolleyes: 0 -
