#vw #id.4 #range

We’ve driven the ID4 before and liked it, but here’s a day with it again to test the real-world range and efficiency plus to check if the software bugs I experienced before have now been resolved.
And does wireless apple car play now work?

Near the end I say we get Model Y beg of 2023 🤦‍♂️. I mean 2022! Jan/Feb hopefully….

After this video decided to get the ID4, went to VW dealer in Gloucester on 20th December, told them I wanted a ID4 Max in white, they saw one on the computer, it shipped out from Germany on 23rd December, arrived on the 5th, and I take delivery on Monday 10th January.............great service. Good to see its cheaper to insure than my Touareg.

I’m very happy with my ID.4 here in the USA bought in Sep 2021. Car is quiet, spacious, comfortable great for road trips.

Quite impressive. Glad VW have fixed the ‘bugs’ as that was a bug bear with so many videos I saw about the ID series

Just bought one of these. So thrilled with it. I thought I wanted a Tesla model 3 but with them side by side it really wasn't a contest. Got an insane deal as well.

VW have promised cold weather range and charging improvements from software V3 (installed from the factory from December, OTA update on existing cars early 2022) there is new trim and equipment from December too.

Well done, insightful content

Great video. Don't know why UK has all the latest RHD EV, but not in HK here.

Thanks for good video as always. I can see that Id.4 has not got the latest firmware (2.3) yet, after it gets even better. And after 3.0 for the spring, the debt will never end ;-)

Harpenden near Luton? The residents will be apoplectic with rage at being aligned with the Luton massive!

Really need to mention the KW each time, as there are different batteries.

Any plans for q4 etron content/review?

Pity about the coolant leaks which destroy the motor. No wonder VW didnt give an 8 year motor warranty like other manufacturers .

It will be interesting to see the effect of this weeks colder weather on the ranges of the various cars.

The scheduled charging feature in the ID.4 is simply not fit for purpose. I've had mine back to the dealer. There was nothing they could do. There's been no software update since I bought it 6 months ago. If I switch on from indoors it only charges at an attenuated 1kWh rate. I have to go outside at night in all weathers to plug it in in the early morning to take advantage of my low night tariff - then I have to set an alarm at 4:30am to switch it off. I'm in the UK and VW did nothing to correct the wrong information about the Prolife model here. Unlike the one in the states there's no reversing camera or automatically dipping headlights or automatically switching on of windscreen wipers or MW radio. It's a disgrace for a £41k vehicle- I'll be getting a Model Y to replace it with.

How is it possible that VW still haven’t updated many id4s to version 3? The new version is either right or wrong. If right it should be in all cars within a couple of weeks NOT years. VW say they are waiting for the factory to finish it! Great car but wow how slow vw are to do the basics.
