VW ID.4

New update in the ID.Drivers Club (on Facebook)

Dear ID. Drivers,

Last week we informed you about the last status of the current ID. software 3.0 OTA-wave. Now that we have analyzed the results of the current OTA wave, we would like to inform you about the next steps, as promised:

- We will start an additional ID. software 3.0 OTA wave for those who registered for the "I want OTA" action via email but were not able to be included in the previous wave (please note that the vehicle must meet the requirements. All emails will be reconsidered received by Nov. 30th, 2022)

- We have noticed that a few vehicles can currently not be supplied with OTA updates due to a certain hardware composition. We are working on a service solution for these vehicles.

- The above-mentioned ID. software 3.0 OTA-wave is planned to start in December 2022. We will soon provide you with detailed information about the start of the upcoming wave as well as tips for successfully installing the OTA update.

We know that you had to wait some time for the update and would like to thank you for your feedback and patience.

To avoid confusion, we would also like to inform you that we are launching an additional OTA campaign for certain MEB vehicles of the Volkswagen and SKODA brands that were built and delivered with ID. software 3.0 already installed. The customers with certain MEB vehicles having ID. software 3.0 already installed during the production process will receive an optimized version of the ID. software 3.0 software factory version via an OTA campaign.

As usual, the update will be rolled out in the form of a canary release - i.e. in staggered waves that grow in the number of participants. The software contains optimizations and no new features. Over the next few weeks participating vehicles will display the familiar notification in the infotainment system. You can find more information about the update in the release notes available there and start the installation as usual via the exit panel.

Don't think it's the export margin

Did you check on the car via the app around the time it started charging by any chance?

When I was testing the timed charging last time it seemed to get set to charge immediately when I synced it from the app

I had set it to charge at preferred times from the app but when I synced it went back to charge immediately it seemed

I wonder did the same thing happen to you 🤔

Yes, but it's only visible when the car is plugged in

Go into the vehicle menu and it should be unde the slider to start charging. It'll take a minute to sync afterwards

Yeah it should be fine, it's basically what it's designed for

The main risks are either the windscreen cracking from pouring boiling water on it (don't do that) or the melted snow freezing when it hits the windscreen and forming ice which is tougher to remove

Luckily we don't live in Norway, so both those risks are fairly minimal

And heating the windscreen means that snow and ice won't stick to it

I only use the Zappi and don't touch any of the setting in the ID4 only if I want to charge it to 100% I will use that. Keep it simple and not have the two entities contradicting each other by mistake.

I use the timed charge on the Zappi, set to come on when I want it too 11pm (winter time) and how many hours to stay on, which I have set not to bring me into peak hours. The car is set not to charge past 80% so it will stop when full. You can obviously set it to come on at 2am on the Zappi and charge for 6 hours to bring you to 8am.

One thing to look at is in the timed boost setting there are a number of lines for different scenarios for example a different time for every day I would only use one line.

Yeah looks OK but I don't use the app as my Zappi is not connected to the Internet. I only use the unit itself, I'm next to it when I get out of the car anyway so program it from there.

Yeah already got a error from the app

Can’t remember now. Possibly the 2 models that qualify for grant

80% showing 300km for me, so 360km from 100%. Sounds about right for this weather

I forgot to check mine this morning but I did notice I'd lost about 5-6% overnight.

Probably because I've got the preheating set to 20C with heated seats and steering wheel

Totally worth it though to get into a warm car

I thought it only kicks in after something like 15 mins of driving on Software 3.0?

I’m seeing around 290km on the GOM at 80% at the moment , that’s with a fair bit of motorway driving at 110km/hr.

211 77kWh with 40k on the clock.

LOL, showing 270km for 80%. I must have the lead foot around here.

My consumption since charging yesterday has been 24kWh/100km, those short hops are a killer 😭

The car tracks static consumption towards the overall right? It doesn't do anything like only count the consumption while moving? 🤔
