Im getting really impressed with the id 7.I just wish there was a smaller car (and cheaper) that were just as good. if only id3 were a smaller id7.
VW ID is a strong, solid candidate for the best EV for masses. We hope that the price will go down with time, because are too expensive relative at the ICE cars.
i'm waiting for the pro S estate to start selling in RO to order one, after all your reviews I am convinced it's the best EV on the market today
It’s nice to see your VW is treating you well.
But makes people that wanted one in Canada to be more pissed at VW. 😉
I'd buy an id7 in a heartbeat if available in Canada.
@@Ty-ls5xg I was waiting 3years for my VW dealer to make the changes to sell the iD EVs, they’re just finishing building the new building and I’ve had time to admire this nice designed / well built car, and VW cancels shipping the iD7 to North America. Only the iD4,puke, or the Big Buzz are being made in the states. It’s stupid of VW. There is a market for EV sedans M3, BMW, Polestar, etc. so that argument of no body wants it is BS.
There is a better EV for long distances, is VW ID7 Pro S 😅
Will he upgrade? 😅
Hello, what was the total charging cost?
You most do a review marcedes benz EQE vs ID7, love to see
Sorry. Mercedes does not give me any cars
I understand what you are sayin, that It's your opinion. But I still a little curious as you never have driven EQS/EQE. How can you in that case compare the ID.7 with those two?
I would love to do that. But Mercedes does not give me any cars.
Also there has been comparisons and the Mercedes have higher consumption and are way way more expensive.
@@BatteryLife Don't get me wrong the ID.7 is a great car and would most likely have been a contender as the price is right. But my EQE is from 22 and the ID.4/5 wasn't an option for me. I agree that the EQE is more expensive, but I'm not sure that I agree that they have a higher consumption. Just before easter we were passing through Germany from Austria. We started in Stumm in Zillertal and Landed in Geetshacht, driving A9, A14 and through Wolfsburg up to Geetshacht. I usually have the cruise control on 140-150 km/h on the stretches were allowed, otherwise on the allowed speed limit. We had then an average of 18 kWh/100 km. This is a EQE 350 without heat pump, just got to mention as everybody is crazy about that heat pump. I have an average consumption for the last year of 17,5 kWh/100 km. And for the record I live in southerns Sweden, but my guess is that we still have a little bit colder than southern Germany.
In what I have seen the ID.7 without heat pump have a bout the same consumption as I have. Most range I have gotten out of the EQE on Autobahn is 550 km, when keeping to max 130 km/h.
Thanks for a great channel!
Given the criteria I would say the Tesla model Y is hard to beat and at a much lower price than the ID.7.
*for German users, maybe.
Some charging apps are not even available for my country, as they are geo-blocked and I can't install them. Or they don't have English interface, or require specific local number/address. Too much hassle. Teslas for me until that gets fixed.
What do you mean with "charging apps"? You do not need any external apps. You only need the internal navigation system and it will calculate for you the best charging stops and how long you have to charge and up to what SOC you have to charge. This works absolutely flawless.
@@ThomasK. The app that I have to use for my charging session
You should use your VW connections for asking about the future of those cars, that have only the crappy and slow software 3.x. Since the last update more than one year. No future for those, because VW fxxcked everthing up with OTA, functionality und reliability ...
Instead VW-fanboy talking ....
I worry that you're becoming deeper and deeper in as a VW Fanboy which I hate to say as I like your channel. Just feels like any other car that isn't a VW is crap basically. Obviously not everyone wants a saloon/sedan and therefore maybe you should come out with your top cars in each class of vehicle from full size SUV down to the small hatchback or micro-car even like the Citroen Ami and everything in between.
Sorry you think that way. But I won't lie just so people don't think I am a fanboy. I love this car!
I like other cars as well. Maybe you didn't watch the videos ;)
BMW i5 and i7 were great, Audi Q8 etron, Polestar 2,...
And I ask every carmaker for cars to test, but they don't give me every car.
Dacia, Citroen, Renault don't want to give me cars, so I can't test them. Sorry.
I asked the Microlino Company for a car, no response.
ID.7 also has a estate car
I'd have no problem with a channel that shows the perspective of a VW fanboy.
those seats look incredible.
That is definitely a bold statement
Don't you like the 19" anymore? 🤔
Do the navigation instructions from Android Auto show up in the HUD or is that still only the case when you use the VW Nav? Thanks!
Only internal navigation
@@BatteryLife I test drove an ID.7 yesterday and I actually got the AA instructions in the HUD, not quite the same AR experience as the built-in nav with the triple arrows etc, but I could see the basic directions and streetnames in the HUD..
Are the massage functions in the ID.7 the same as in the ID.4?
Id.7 has air bubbles blowing up and it is in the bum area as well.
I always find it difficult to say "the best" . There are far too many individual profiles for one car to fit all. For your personal profile it can be the best, for mine eg absolutely not. I think one can say that dor certain profiles certain cars might be better but there is no general.
Regarding ömlong distance: for me teavellkng often alone with dog, Id7 is far too big. M3LR is massively enough. Even for holidays with wife, daughter and dog it was always enough.
M3LR is even more efficient, it is smaller, it is very comfortable , etc pp.
So for me the perfect car is the M3LR, for you it is the ID7. all good 🎉
No one that thinks a Tesla m3 or my is a great car can't be a driving enthusiast. The lack of buttons and switchgear make it awkward and unsafe to drive. That can't even really be argued.
@@Ty-ls5xg Totally agree with you since you used a double negation: "noone that thinks an M3 is a great car, can't be" means "everybody who thinks an M3 is a great car is a car enthusiast". 100% my friend 😎
Oops. Thanks for spotting the error. ..I hit "reply" hyper quick as a colleague was calling me to ask me a question. Anyway the "can't" should be "can".
But you honestly can not argue that the economics in a Tesla are up to standard. The ergonomics are so bad that they are unsafe, and this honestly can't be argued. You could argue "how" unsafe they are, but it literally can't be argued that having to take your eyes off the road to do everyday tasks is as safe as a button or knob that you can just reach for and use by feel. Anyway Teslastans will be Teslastans. By the way I've owned 6 EVs including a model y long range, which coincidentally ranks in 6th place of the ones I've owned. I'd take my Tesla over a gas car but for EVs they are a horrible driving experience if you are a driving enthusiast.
@@Ty-ls5xg I have a 2021 M3 with stalks which I appreciate. I am fine with the setup and prefer it over my previous button driven Mercedes c220d. but I am not a car enthusiast, I oive my car but it is a method of transportation. dfor an wnthusiast, the Hyundai Ioniq 5N is probably more the right choice
@@Ty-ls5xg oh and I do not take my eyes off for anything. I control all either by stalks, steering wheel buttons (esp finally also the swiper settings) or voice control. 🤷♂️ but Teslas are not for everybody , you love them or hate them but few are indifferent. and thats ok. many other options out there
I am happy for you that you are enjoying the car , but it isn't the best when it comes to consumption MY and M3 are at least 20% more efficient
True, M3 is also a lot faster for a 50k car... But ID.7 is a much larger car, especially in the rear passenger space, and the model Y looks like a frog so I can forgive it being a little less efficient than a Tesla (who seems to have the most efficient drive train, and one of the lowest weights Vs size of car). And the ride in the MY is significantly worse than in both the M3 and ID.7
M3 is better, MY is less efficient, already measured. And M3 just by a few percent for being a smaller car
@@BatteryLife I think one test isn't enough, i follow many other youtubers MY and M3 are at least 20% more efficient, i have the MY SR i use it for mostly highways on 130 km/hr and average consumption over 22K Km is 16.3
@@jamesraisonx M3 vs ID.7, i guess ID.7 only wins in size and having buttons, otherwise Tesla wins in efficeincy and software, i am sad to say so i have a MY and ID.3 myself coming from a Golf MK7 and i am sad for VW that its current software state is miserable and even it is more miserable when you know people who works as software engineers at VW, the situation is catastrophic
@@otacon_ahyomore tests?
Teslabjorn did winter tests with rain at ca 3 deg for both M3 HL LR and ID7.
90km/h test. Tesla 11% more efficient.
120km/h. Tesla 8% more efficient.
What Car also did some interesting range tests. Also pretty rainy and colder temperatures. Tesla M3 LR was 8% more efficent.
Nobody is doubting Tesla's efficencies but especially when it comes to highway ranges and the considerably size difference between the two cars this is not bad.
