Re: New Car Has Old Software & Wheels

If it was ordered as the old Life spec and you didn't upgrade the steels to alloys, then you'd still get the steels. The software though is crap, you sure it's 100% on 2.3? Latest version in Dec 2022 was 3.1, hell my Life that arrived in October last year was on 3.1 Do you not have on the drivers di...

That's registering it, collecting it is different.

Re: Android Auto - Upcoming updates

To be honest I didn't realise it had updated until I read this thread. Looks and feels so much better to use. I may just use it as an auto feature everytime I get in the car now. Hopefully it will solve the problem of the cars voice activation springing into life every time my daughter speaks! Just...

Re: ID 4 no one wants

Cars lose value, its been an anomaly the last few years. Tesla is one part of the equation, dealers have stocks of cars at inflated prices that they're worried about losing value on due to a slow in demand so reluctant to take on new stock at the moment. You might see the likes of WBAC offering sill...

Re: Delivery Due?

Company car purchase through a main dealer I know that VW have been prioritising personal vehicles, but I'm unsure if a company car via a main dealer would actually be differentiated between a personal vehicle or not by VW. Happy for you that it won't be long until you're driving your ID.4 though. ...

Re: Declining Range

Why? The WLTP recorded range is no different to WLTP MPG figures for an ICE car, that's been going on for years. If it would have gone to court it'd have happened before EVs turned up. Its all derived in laboratory conditions which don't match real world conditions. Basically don't believe any of it...

Re: Sports mode on non-performance

Sports mode is pointless anyway, doesn't do much.

Throttle response seems exactly the same, you don't gain any extra power. Steering is the only thing noticeable that adjusts feel.

Had an ID3 Pro Performance and Cupra Born last year, both were the same in "sport mode".

Re: Delivery Due?

Thanks for the info larry_lamb. How are you finding the Tesla in comparison to the id4? Well they're quite different as one does 0-60 in 4.5secs and the other in 10 and one can easily do 200+ miles in any condition while the other would struggle other than pootling around in summer. However there a...

Re: Delivery Due?

I cancelled my ID4 GTX order about 8 months after ordering and got a Tesla Y instead. Company car order through Lex Auto and the Stockport VW dealer confirmed no penalty to cancel it. We kept the other ID4 Pure life order as it was super cheap and it was just the wifes run about, arrived 14 months a...

Re: Delivery Due?

Just had an update from the dealer, it’s gone from build week 9 to unconfirmed build week 15. Wow. What spec did you order? Was it a Max or a GTX by any chance? Hi car is exactly like yours, ID4 Life 52kWh pure performance 170ps auto in White, with performance pack plus. Nothing out of the ordinary...
