VW ID.4

Yeah they're missing a good few features in the We Connect ID app. Apparently when software 3.0 lands sometime this year then we'll get more functions in the app like car location, doors/windows open and close and even maybe starting the car, although there was something about extra authentication needed for that

Looks fantastic, the red is a great colour!

Enjoy the new car!

Happened on my last new car too - drove back to the garage that day and they moved the plate. V confusing at first :)

Congrats, exact same as that on order. Well wear and keep us posted as you go

one boat is due on the 15th(that’s already left) , that visits about every 2 weeks. So say the 29th. Seems to be going slower than normal , maybe preserving fuel or with the factory shutdown they are in no rush

the second beat they use is tied up in a different German port since the 26th of Feb, that normally serves Ireland, might be an issue. But the port it’s in seems to do BMW and other Non electric VAG. So no idea if that’ll be back in play

Hopefully they aren’t going to use it to replace the one damaged by fire…,

what boat is being used for cork on the 21st March ( as opposed to Feb)

im out of the country with work from the 19th till April. I’m worried Wifey will collect it and not give it a full inspection!!

Just after a trip from Dublin to Donegal in my GTX. Very surprised and impressed with the efficiency / range I got. 236km used 58% battery. Just smooth, steady driving in eco with “B” driving mode. No slowing down on M1 motorway or anything, kept it at 120kph. A little wet and windy in places.12 degrees out for the most part. Had some luggage onboard. Light “clima” use as didn’t need it. Apple music and Nav on all the way.

i had high hopes for the car but it’s definitely exceeding expectations. Worried a little about the infotainment system but I’m finding it really responsive and nice to use. No issues to report so far here.

Also, “B” driving mode is great. I actually prefer it. The battery regeneration is a plus.

How can you check what boats are due when? I’ve an Enyaq that left the factory on Friday so I’m assuming it’s making its way to Emden and joining other VWG cars for the trip to Ireland. Just reading some of the posts above, I’m shocked how long cars are sitting in port.

There's actually a start / stop button to the right of the steering wheel (where keys would be inserted in many cars).

I think you can modify the small display to a minor extent maybe.

No BLIS or powered tailgate - these may be on the Max versions, I'm not sure.

Yes, lack of illumination of the sliders is a howler of the highest order! Y'see, these guys (and other marques too) believe their own marketing spiel and think everyone uses voice commands.

Not being able to opt for an electric tailgate is very annoying! Tech or Max is the only way to get it AFAIK but then you lose the grant.

There is an aftermarket solution though.

I think it feels very well built but I would agree that it is lacking some basic features that you would expect for the price (electric tailgate, internal finishes etc). I think it certainly drives very well, and performance wise its certainly worth the price tag compared to high end EV's.

Are other 1st movers getting a message in the car saying an inspection is due in 20 days? Are we supposed to book something in?

Also, any more news on when we're getting new 12v battery?

Light up button beside the door lock button. Also disables the rear window switches

Oh yeah that happens to me as well, music doesn't stop until you get up or stop it manually

Since my car hasn't been set on fire yet, I'm assuming that my neighbours like the same music as me 😁

The thing that gets me is the music automatically starting when I start the car. My kids were quite alarmed when the car started blasting out Slayer at high volume 🤣
