VW ID.3

I know theres a ship in Emden currently thats due to get into Dublin on Sunday. Dealer said he should have news monday or early tuesday which is why I was hoping it might be on it. But maybe not. Is your car not out of final production yet?

Nice, how come? Did they find a bucketful of capacitors or whatever it is they're missing?

PS wtf is the craic with the new site...

Yeah I know its been down, but on twitter they've been promising that it would look and function much the same.

Far from it. Even though I'm posting in this thread it doesn't show in my discussions. I can't access a list of my followed threads. It's a mess.

And where the hell are my bookmarks lol!

Down the bottom of the page for me on mobile.

ended up buying one at the weekend, tested a Leaf last year, and an E308 a couple of weeks back, the ID3 just seemed right. Seems like I would have agonised more buying a laptop

It looks like the over-the-air updates are about to happen. I got an email the other day with my VIN etc and to agree to the update... so I'm expecting the 2.3 update to magically appear any day now.

I dont care about any pricking around with the infotainment layout... they better have the charging timers fixed! 😡

Someone requested pic of a Scale Silver id.3 - here’s my June registered Tech spec model with 18” Derry alloys.

I've a first and got the confirmation mail with the link to accept the update last Friday. Still no sign of an update. The cars is supposed to poll the VW servers once a week for updates. I haven't seen anyone in various forums of the 1st mover Facebook group who has actually received the update.

It will contain very little of new functionality but I'm hoping it will fix my constant connection issues.

Can I ask a question from people currently buying an ID3?

Is there a huge wait time, and is there a reason why dealers might not be returning my calls? I've been trying for over a month to arrange a test drive, I've been a bit casual about it (we want to upgrade before new baby arrives in November so we've felt like there's no big rush) but its the third time nobody has got back to me now, don't know if its the dealers not bothered, if this is the norm (have never considered buying a new car before) or if they're not interested in selling the id3 due to backlog. Was advised on the phone not to call in without an appointment as they're so busy.

Also, if you've seen more recent price lists: the Volkswagen website suggests pricing starting at 32k - is that miles away from what you'd actually get? We have a budget more like 30, so not sure how far we can stretch. This will be our first electric car purchase, whatever we end up with, and hopefully a car that will last us for ten years: we're really not car people and I've been finding it a bit frustrating how had it is to get basic info out of people.

There are long lead times for a lot of cars at present due to chip shortages. I ordered a car the first week of May and I don’t know when we will get it. Mad lad ordered his at the same time and it is listed as being in production still. I hope we will have ours by mid August but who knows.

I found dealers reasonably responsive in our part of the world. The South East.

Saw that video, recognised a lot of the roads he drove on. Must have been made a while ago, temperatures were quite low on the car thermometer. Also I don't remember him saying what the total mileage was that he did, but he did mention in the comments that he did a bit of driving around as well. Should be a very easy trip with the milder weather, no need for any hypermiling. And what was the giving out about the regen?

Did the same yesterday and same result, in production but no more info yet. I ordered mid May with production due first week July (model year 2022)

Good luck pointing that out to him. He can't take any kind of criticism at all, even the constructive variety.
