Have you tried signing out and back in again?

Is the car offline? Mine has lost its data connection twice now and the app stops working

Seems to fix itself after a day or two. I reckon VW keeps forgetting to pay the phone bill for my car

There is a new version of the app out (v1.17). Might be related to that.

Try an update of the app.

Looks like you can get rid of the brown interior now too

Is that just the UK to meet the grant limits?

Well according to the latest Irish product guide there’s new interior and exterior colours

Yes it looks like there is one new colour and you can now get the black dash as an option. IMO the brown looks very well in the car gives it a bit of colour.

I know, but I’m going to see if I can beg VW to let me change the exterior colour and the interior trim of my order.

The brown interior is such a negative for me

I have the brown interior and dash. I seen the demo with black and found it very plain, I'm very happy with the brown but again personal choice. I also have the blue and its absolutely perfect, so many people coming up to me saying how nice it is.

Returned from West clare to Meath today, 252 km and managed 16.5kw per 100km. This was having ac on and wipers going most of the way. So far it seems to perform very well in real world driving. The granny cable managed 15 km per hour charging.

Would this be UK only? Is Ireland getting the price drop? Sounds like it's just for UK grant market

First long range drive for me as well last Friday. 16.0 kWh/100km on a 190km trip (Cork - Rosslare), AC on all the way, car fully loaded. Used approx 40% battery, happy with that. Works out at approx 475km for a full charge, not too shabby at all. Granny cable going great guns at the holiday home too, don't even need to use an extension.

Try next time you are out to turn off the air con and leave on the fan. This works a treat to gain the extra range.

I find the AC doesn't make a huge difference to range

In comparison the heating has much more impact

Nice consumption figures, what kind of speeds were you doing? I find the car is pretty efficient up to 110km/h, gets a bit more thirsty after that

Did you need to reduce the charging speed at the mobile home or did it handle full power?

boccy23

I've noticed that the warmer weather has a huge affect on the range. Would be great if we could have 20+° all the time.

Was a bit of pootling around Cork first (had to go back home to get something FFS) and then N25 all the way which is mostly single lane national road so depends on what's in front! Mostly 80 - 100km/h.

Didn't reduce charging speed. It's a house not mobile BTW, with socket handily placed for car.

VW Id.3 & Id.4 Over The Air Update 2.3 - Everything you need to know
Battery Life

Nothing here about scheduled charging so have to wait to see what the ID.3 first movers report later this week.

Black_Knight

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing, unless the UI revamp includes a whole lot of under the hood improvements... like a revamp of scheduled charging.

The TLDR of that video is:
- Update coming, july/august
- Needs 4g to download, not wifi
- Update will be available at the "goodbye" screen.
- Only installs when the car is parked, takes many hours to install
- Some updates to the ID light, the UI, Hud and dynamic lighting.

cannco253

Yep and you need to be set up on We Connect ID.

Looks like they are testing the waters to make sure the OTA works.

I think there are 3,500 ID.3 first movers (might be wrong on that), no ID.4s are first movers even if you have a ID.4 first so we have to wait until August.

Updates kommen künftig over-the-air (in German)
If you go to 1:35 it shows a symbol for scheduled charging, but nobody knows yet what's been done.

If an order is “locked in” is there any chance at all of making a change?

Feck sake, windscreen cracked by a stone! Big crack too, 12 inches easy. Waiting from call back from repair place but reckon whole thing will have to be replaced FFS.

Sorry to hear that. Rotten luck.

boccy23

Yeah, that's a bad break. I was looking at my own last week and thinking that a replacement one would be a pain.

I'll find out soon enough! It's some kind of insulated glass too I think. Let's hope there's one available for such a new model ...

Yeah worries me with the ever increasing amount of roads going back to tar and chipping ( should be EU ban on this ) Loose stones so much more common now even on roads that had proper surfaces are fading away under tar and chipping crap. I don't want to drive my new id3 on this lol shouldn't have to either I don't consider tar and chipping road surface acceptable in 2021. KCC in my home place went mad on proper asphalt smooth surfaces over the weekend and destroyed them, no idea what their game is but even in Carlow the increase in tar and chipping is very worrying.

I'd outlaw trucks carrying stones to building sites without a cover on them too, absolute nightmare driving behind them and the M1 seems packed with them with all the building work going on.

Yeah these sand and gravel trucks seem to loose a lot of their load not good on the open road for anyone behind especially cyclists or motor cyclists.
