    I'm just about to get rid of my EV6 for a used Model 3lr. The Kia is a good car, but the efficiency and supercharging ease is just undeniable. Then, like you say, the software is just light years beyond on a Tesla.

    To any ID3 owners? Would you recommend buying the car? I’m still worried about buying an electric car. A car which only has 200 miles capacity has its drawbacks compared to my PetrolPrices car which gets 340 miles from a full tank.

    Thanks for this. Only got my model 3 2 weeks ago and though this was a fault with the indicator stalk. I had auto cancel on as I liked it on motorways but as i don't really do that much in the way of motorway driving I'm turning it off as it's not really that reliable on other roads. I'm finding I have to manually cancel the indicators far more than I ever did in a conventional car that had a mechanical cancel on the steering wheel. It would be good if Teslas had a sensor on the steering column as well as relying on trying to work out if you have completed the manoeuvre.

    VW has a nasty habit in pushing products onto the market, which have not been fully tested/developed yet. Just wait a couple of years and then the EV's from VW will hopefully give less trouble... (and have a lower salesprice!).

    Believe it or not, now the ID.3 is more expensive than Tesla 3 in The Netherlands! Now the Tesla 3 basic model (491km range) is for 42k. ID3 basic model (427 km range) is for 45k.

  • @o00scorpion00o

    At the time the m3 SR+ was costing around 50K in Ireland, today the LR is costing 50k. I got the ID.3 Tour 5 82 Kwh for 41,500 K 1.5 years ago. Id.3 82 Kwh Positives in my opinion Rage is good, driven 300 Kms still had 20% left driving motorway speeds 120 Km/hr Recently off the motorway getting 200 Kms per 40% charge. Car looks better than m3 outside Good to drive I like the travel assist. Negatives. Interior looks cheap with plastics you'd see in the Caddy Van. No speakers in the rear doors in the Tour 5 costing 41.5 K Euro's There's annoying rattles especially the doors with the stereo cranked up. Infotainment, sluggish and ergonomics poor. God be with the days you had dedicated buttons for the likes of the radio with buttons for preset stations, easy, simple no menus. I think all this tech in cars especially touch screens are very distracting especially when you have to take your eye off the road for longer than you should. I'm not sure I could tolerate another car who depends so heavily on the touch screen, I want more buttons for basic things like Climate control and radio. People are just addicted to screens and flicking though stuff endlessly, and this is not good in cars that can travel at high speeds and kill people.

  • @michaelgoode9555
    @michaelgoode9555 Год назад

    Once again the Gameboy generation concentrate on the software in the infotainment system. It's a car not a games console. If you don't like the car just say so but to piggyback all the low rent journalists who complain about the software shows tha thou are just looking for an excuse to change your car. Can't wait for your excuses when you decide to change out of the Tesla. Incidentally, we own an ID.3. It's a practical car, end of. Equally we could have and nearly did buy a Kona or an MG but we chose the ID.3. Disappointing piece of cheap rent clickbait designed solely to get the Tesla fanbois on your channel. Your choice.

    I found myself screaming at the phone when you pressed the HOME button instead of the return (top left) when reviewing the download content. Interesting though. We have just acquired a 2 year old ID.3 First and the screen says that it is at 2.3 although VW say that it is at 2.4. Shoddy. I have signed up to We Connect and await eagerly some information about an update 3.0. Odd how the car can disable drive but cannot turn the lights off.

  • @jonasvollmer3057
    @jonasvollmer3057 Год назад

    I have a ID 4 first max with 2.4 since August 2022. Now I Stil don’t get 3.0 OTA, despite being always in an area with good signal. VW (all instances) say all is fine. Just one guy said that it LOOKS ok from the main system specs. But in fact some of the 33 components may not have the right update and still this does not lead to an error message. All other ID4 first max drivers I have contacted have the update since long. In any way: I want 3.0. I waited for 9 months. Nothing happens. Does anyone have a clue?

  • @Lascarnn
    @Lascarnn Год назад

    I on the other hand moved to Hyundai Ioniq5, which was just better than TM3/Y, for following reasons: - screen behind the wheel with speedometer and other controls - HUD - V2L (to power electric grill from the car, while camping) - ventilated seats, adjustable headrest - better suspension - better sound isolation But I was also considering ID.5. VW improved their software by a lot, and plug&charge is now available (also in HI5, btw.)

    The convenience function has to be a bug that is missing and must come back. I totally agree with you about the auto indicators that they are a bit buggy, also if you want to chance two lanes sometimes it knows cuz the wheel is still pointing in a lane change direction, but sometimes it cancels and the car things you are "accidentally" leaving your lane and starts all sort of savety movements...

  • @dombaker1924
    @dombaker1924 Год назад

    It's been -2C to -6C for the past week and I've made 7 journeys from a cold start in my ID3 Family edition with an average of just over 3 miles per journey. Each time I've had the heaters running on full blast as well as heated seats and steering wheel. My average range over these 7 journeys has been 2.5 miles per kwh which equates to a range of 145 miles. So something is seriously wrong with your ID3 if you are only getting 58 miles. Suggest you take it to the dealership to get it looked at.

  • @dombaker1924
    @dombaker1924 Год назад

    This is really odd. I've had my ID3 Family Edition through two winters with sub-zero temperatures, the battery is used for a series of short journeys and i've never had less than 120 miles to a full charge. In the summer I typically get 230 miles making a series of short journeys. I'm not sure how you are only getting 58??

  • @darrenmooruthv2

    I tried the acceleration on a 2022 Plaid and I was literally in shock thinking how is this possible. The only way to describe it is that it’s pleasantly violent.

  • @trondharaldsaltnes5122
    @trondharaldsaltnes5122 Год назад

    Have you tried this again with ID software 3.1? I think they reduced the battery heating in winter somewhat. I drive an Nissan Leaf 40kwh EV in Winter. Preheating the car for 15 minutes take away about 2% state of charge, but I get in a nice and warm car and no ice on the windscreen. In Norway with super soft nordic winter tyres and -5 to -10 degrees below cero, I would say short trip range with preheating every time gives you about 30% of WLTP range. Still worth it as long as I’m charging at home. My gasoline Toyota Avensis will do 0,62l per 10km in summer on long trips, and about 1,05l per 10km in winter short trips, but you will be wasting time scraping ice from the windows and be cold in the cabin for the first 5 mins.
