(Editing the last post as I was completely wrong)

Since you have solar I'd recommend using the Zappi to control the charging, since it will try to use surplus energy as much as possible

The car has no idea when there's surplus, so will just charge when it's set to

However, to use the timed charging on the car, you'll want to set the Zappi to "Fast" mode so it'll just act as a dumb charger

I noticed a new setting in the id connect app plug and charge? Says my vehicle doesn't support it when I click on it..this is coming and will allow reserve charging to power your home if you have the necessary connection?

Plug and charge is for charging your car without needing to tap a card or use an app to activate a charger.

I believe our cars will show support for that once they are updated to v3.0. The app has been updated in advance.

It means you won't have to tap when you go to a charge point that supports Plug 'n Charge.... presumably Ionity will support that. Its similar to how Tesla works today.... they simply plug into the Tesla charger and the charger and car exchange data and it then knows who you are and how to charge you as you will have a credit card assigned to your account. It will make the charging experience a lot simpler.... as it sounds..... plug and charge!

Are you on 3.0? I think that's going to come up every time

I think if you've multiple users it'll configure the screens, mirrors and seats (if you've the electric ones) to the selected user when you startup

micks_address

Yes on 3.0 but only one user configured

Another OTA update today - minor improvements and errors fixed.

@micks_address Are your mats and boot liner your dealer gave you is rubber one? If they are, I’m interested in them if you want to sale. Thanks!

Carpet mats rubber boot liner but they not for sale

I’ve been quoted 1,150/1,200 for 4 bridgestones, 235/50R20 on the front and 255/45R20 rear

does that sound about right?

27km on the clock

You should be able to get a set of Hankooks or similar for less than 750 or Goodyears for 900ish. Are you going with the Bridgestones for sure?

I don't have an ID.4 but that seems excessive for a set of tyres.

Seems high at €300 a corner. Is that quote from the dealer or from a local tyre company? Either way, get some more quotes.

Size/spec of the tires means there's not a whole lot of options.

I'll be due some towards the end of the summer (a bit sickening since I've 2 tires on the service pack deal) but looking at oponeo, fronts would be €304, and €432 for the same on the rear (hankook ventus s1 Evo3).

Add €100 for a garage to fit them and that's €836. If I went for pirelli, or Goodyear etc, it might be 1000-1100. Going direct to the shop I'd expect a bit more.

100 for fitting four tyres is very expensive. 40 to 50 is what I would expect to pay normally.

Unless you're including alignment in that too.

ouch thats a lot... hopefully i get close to 20k km as well ... ive two in the service pack... do people find you have to do the rears then a few months later do the fronts?

dingbat

Got a call from VW dealer saying they were offering 10k at 0% over 2yrs. Hadn't seen it on the VW website yet.

Think I paid €50 for 2 tyres last time. Only working off of that

Whoop there it is...!!!

Picked her up this afternoon after my 6 month wait and its f**king quick!! fastest car I've ever driven (not that I have driven many fast cars...) I know its not Tesla in power but its more than enough as far as I can see. Impressed with the pulling power in the mid range also between 50-80 kph she is well able to over take. Also only at 70-80% charge and they say you need over 90% charge to get the full beans.

Anyway only driven 20km in it and I am very happy. Came with software 3.0 but there is an issue with it as it wants to update that as well and the car wont let anybody register with WeConnetID app as well. The dealer was saying they were thinking of not giving it to me as they said Germany was not communicating back to the Car the problem was with the server over there....who knows. Car does not connect to 4G automatically you have to switch that on every time you get in the car. I dont know....its all parked up now and I will mess with it tomorrow. Connected to the Zappi and its set to smart boost to 80% by 6am so we will see what happens.

Oh love the colour I picked and the matrix lights and rear lights are right snazzy 😋

micks_address

Lovely eco enjoy. Nice wheels what size are they? Re the full beans it's above 80% and under certain temp conditions etc.. you can really tell when it's all there... Push back in the seat kinda power.. loving mine so far..and the colour has grown on me considerably.. the heat Monday made some difference on the range.. if I turned on air con I automatically lost 40km range...

ECO_Mental

They are 20's I got the service pack for €360? which included 2 tyres..I know two 20 inches will cost around 400 as it all day long, so it looked like a good deal.

I didn't even know about the service pack till sales guy emailed me on that's included..he reckoned it was worth 920? Two tyres, break pads and filters if required

I had the exact same with my Weconnect ID and the ID4 last week when collected. Simple fix tbh.

Got to settings -> Wifi and connect to your home Wifi with the car.

Click on the planet in the main screen and click on the manual update available.

Let it run until you get the confirmation that the update was successful.

Reboot the Infotainment system and check that all permissions in settings are activated.

Go to User and activate and scan the QR Code with the Phone app.

Good to go. This should fix anything and we will also abele to use the shop and download games etc.

Enjoy and welcome to the ID4 Mafia.

Cool that worked a treat and I'm up and running....the Zappi smart boost didn't work last night for some reason. Might look at those settings later.

xlight

The service pack with 2 tyres has the usual conditions as my sales told me. Within the three years of running, if they think the tyres are still with good treads then they won’t change two new tyres not sure if your salesman told you that?

KCross

You would want to be doing very small mileage to not burn 2 tyres on these cars over 3 years. Don’t rotate the tyres and the 2 rears will need changing.

xlight

Anyone knew or came across that saving the user setting on the car? The car I have is GTX Business. But every time there is a message of there is new setting would you like to use/update (something like this), then if I press yes, then it changed the setting I just set. So I wondering where I can set the setting including mode , lights, a/c etc and save them so next time when I on the car I don’t need to set it every time. Thanks.
