That was indeed an excellent review and feedback. I just hope that VW is listening to you and others. You made some great improvement suggestions.
Nerd- mode yes!!! What is better as data? More data!😁 Especially all the data about the battery.
I don't think that the BMS offers much more fidelity than whole percentage numbers. I have Torque Pro on my Bolt EV (Ampera E) and it's low level only used 1 byte 0-255 for BMS state as I recall. So you can get maybe half percent values but realize BMS SoC is still an approximation.
Lore is better than Data.
Well done. I hope VW will implement some if not all of your suggested features.
Hard not to agree with you here, Chris! 👍🏻
Can it show outside temperature in the instrument cluster? I find that very useful and in my Golf it's always there. I would also like to see the trip meter, very useful when you pass a sign saying there's a rest area in 1.5km, then I know when to look for it.
Another excellent video from Chris. Lots of good info for people looking to buy this car and not only. Good job!
Great points! More intuative system is also on my list! To reset the trip computer took me 10 minutes.
I totally agree about the 12, the speed text moving. If should always be right adjusted instead. Good catch.
I´m with you - my most important for me is a ECO mode for driverheating and laneassist off - greethings from LANDSHUT ! .. Roland
nice video again! just received mine! woop! also a 1st plus
Totally agree with all suggestions. Probably some of these should be made options that can be enabled in settings. It is important to keep the interface clear and simple for majority of users, that otherwise could get overwhelmed with all the numbers and buttons. Great video.
Another suggestion. There should be offset-% setting for the cruise control's automatic speed limit recognition.
Good idea. I don't use it. I change the speed.
BMW has this. It's very useful.
Good review, nicely stated.
Nice. I have seen yesterday one black ID.3 1st parked close to where I live, in Switzerland. It looked really nice. Surprisingly a bit taller than I expected.
It's true, it looks small in videos and photos but it's so bigger and nicer in real life
I like all your suggestions, but I feel VW are struggling to get the Infotainment system working right the now, never mind try and implement your suggestions. good luck with your requests. I had a test drive in ID3 yesterday and I was very impressed, only one problem I had was my bottom was numb sitting in the seat for the hour test drive.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about improvements!
I absolutely agree on the SOC - it should always be displayed, as should be the kW while charging, not the km/min. About the gears, I wouldn't like to have the car remember the last gear it was in: it'd mostly be R, meaning that I'd constantly be in danger of crashing the car into the garage wall ...
Wow.... what a good review!!! Now I understand the buzz about VW software incompetence... thank you for your review!
Very good suggestions hope vw is listening
Thanks for doing the work so that we can buy a better car in a year ;-)
Love your videos. We do not have an EV yet, but have tried the ID.3. We loved the experience but it's to small for our family. So we're waiting for the ID.4 to come to Sweden. Anyway, it's super useful to watch your videos to get to know this new cars better.
Another helpful video. Thanks.I would add 2 items to the wishlist. 1: Constantly monitor SOC of 12v battery and keep it charged even when car is parked and locked. 2: Car should automatically lock if left unattended for set time and key out of range.
1. That should be normal to charge the 12V battery all thw time.
2. That is dangerous.
I've had all those bugs except one, and also:
● a spurious airbag warning that went away next time I started (x 2)
● sudden Brake! warning when there was nothing in front (x 3).
On feature suggestions:
● disagree on the brakes - they're fine for me
● agree on 1-pedal driving, reverse beep & *especially* being able to turn off the cucking awful lane assist system
● I thought the animated speedo number was just me. I'm with you on that.
Always video or take a photo when there is a fault showing... saves a lot of grief at the dealers when they say there are no DTC’s stored so it’s working perfectly!
Great detail Chris.... VW should give you a job as a test driver!
All first edition drivers are test drivers it appears. They just have to pay for the privilege. 🤨
Yes! That is the way of the software world
If my name was Volkswagen, I would be very happy with your constructive feedback and recommendations for change. Great video. Greetings from the Netherlands
Hope VW get things done in the e-Golf they delivered in 2020 ... cause a lot of bugs still in there.
But regarding ID.3 I can agree to 95% of your points. I found a lot of the points more than annoying like flying digits for speed in the instrument cluster. Start with 0 on the right of the frame and not centered.
Tiny things but really annoying like missing SOC in the cluster.
I agree with your suggestions. There is so much potential for the Nav and EV charger integration. Certainly in the UK the POIs for public chargers are incomplete. Many of the things I miss from my e-Golf with the Active Info display mean that VW certain know what can be done, but I want to know why they didn't choose to include it on the ID.3. There is so much to come on the We Connect ID app - I miss my download data from my e-Golf which I did once a month to see what i had been doing. Yes the data went into spreadsheets. I don't need that to be directly in the Infotainment system, just easily transferred.
In terms of bugs, the boot up time is excessively long. It is not a car to jump into and drive. This is shame for an EV. But I am hoping that this is a software improvement that will come with the major update.
I want all of the heating/cooling to be controlled remotely - that includes the screens, seats, steering wheel, mirrors.
Suggestion for your next feedback video:
Ask them to produce a bug-tracking feature for first movers. It would be more "rewarding" to have an own site for this, outside of messy FB if we could track a bug and see a dev work on it, and comment on it, and its suggestions.
very good thanks for me 23 is really important
Another id.3 owner here. I agree with most of your feature requests.
1. Lane control should stay off! (Remember the setting)
2. Faster boot time. It is really slow after startup
The lane control is REALLY annoying, VW!
Good job 🤓
I have further functions not working:
Pre-heating does not work on my car. I can program all I want but the car never pre-heats.
The auto steering wheel and seat heating in low temperature only switches the steering wheel on never the seat.
Functions missing:
Delayed charging - so that I can benefit from cheap power at night
A graphical view of efficiency over time like you have in BMW ICE cars
A change to Range when I set a navigation route. I mainly drive city and contry roads but when I navigate somewhere where I will be driving on motorways the Range should adjust instantly not over the first 30-50km. The car knows what I will do - it should use it.
Brakes are fine on my car.
Agree on most other suggestions.
Btw I am getting new software in my car next week = looking forward to seeing what it fixes. I have a lot of other smaller bugs that shows occasionally.
Steen
Hi Steen, did you receive the software update you mentioned yet, and if you did, what was added/changed/fixed?
//Dennis
@@DennisWallman I got the SW updates, but they only targeted a handfull of issues of which I only remember the two that I have experienced. The airbag alert and the car engaging the parking brake instead of auto hold. I have seen none of these issues since, but I only experienced both of them a couple of times each before.
All the stuff that just doesn’t work or works randomly isn’t fixed.
@@steensadolin8749 Thanks for the update Steen. Seems unfortunate VW isn't able to make more progress here. I was especially hoping they would add charging schedules with delay. I am looking at installing the VW wallbox (really nice price) but neither the app nor the car supports delayed charging from what I can tell, and I don't think I want to be the kind of EV owner who has to remember to not plug in the car until 2300 ;).
@@DennisWallman yes, I had hoped to see some kind of plan for when they would introduce the lacking functionality etc. Maybe they do on Facebook I don’t know since I’m no fan of Zuckerberg.
@@steensadolin8749 I don't think a public changelog in in the cards TBH. We will just have to trust Chris to hopefully keep us up to date... :D.
More regen is a great idea!
My biggest problem is i cant schedule my heatpump yet. I have to wait for software update coming later.
I recomend to vw to buy a app abetterrouterplaner and incluid it into de soft in to the id3. It offer many options to ve like calc of range based in tje route temp etc.
About 29. The menu for favourites. I think the home screen should be optimised better, or allow you to reorder items. Like on the first page, you have things like: Help, Background, you almost never access these. Similarly for many people they don't use Telephone often or at all, allow it to be moved somewhere else. Similarly Sound, it can be moved to second screen.
I would like:
More Shortcuts
More technical charging information (Voltage, Ampere)
The current battery temperature
(All as an optional feature, to ceep it simple when you want)
Camper Mode like Tesla
VW have to think more like a software company:
Bug Report like a software company
Live Stream, Dicord,etc where you can establish contact with software developer
A own forum, and not a closed facebook group
Long term:
Rename the buttons under the display to 1,2,3,4 and I want to change the funktion in the menu, like BMW
Chris, So at 2:19 you describe a seemingly single zone mode. Can you sometime show the UI if you press the SYNC button? Wasn't sure how similar that mode looks.
100 % Zustimmung.
Good suggestions. Is there any third party CAN-bus readers with an app for ID.3 like the ones Bjørn uses with Tesla and Leaf etc.? Those give all technical data.
Not yet, I think.
So from time to time you have only one zone climate? Instead of two zone climate. This is how I would describe it.
Hey VW, hope you are watching this 😁👍🏼👌🏼
Could be so awesome !!!
VW Job Description:
VW: Wanted, person to watch RUclips videos and search Internet forums
Everyone: Me, me ... hire me!
Well done Chris for being a beta tester.
Habe bisher nur eine Probefahrt gemacht aber da ist mir aufgefallen, dass der Gangwahlschalter auch zwei Druckpunkte hat. Du kannst also durch starkes Drücken zum zweiten Druckpunkt direkt in B gehen. Vielleicht wäre das schon eine Verbesserung für dich?
You can add more screens btw. Just press a screen and hold it until it pops open, and then press the pluss button, or press and change out whatever you want to change out on the 3 configured screens. They are all configurable.
I show that in a different video. I know ;)
Thank you for your very good coverage of ID.3! There's a feature I haven't seen anywhere yet but it had been first used years ago by VW, and that's Area View (bird's eye view). Since ID.3 has all this technology, I'm sure they can support it, but have they? Even if its not in the menu right now, is there anything about it in the Owner's Manual?
It does not have all the cameras for it.
@@BatteryLife Ouch... I might start considering Mustang Mach-e again! Or hope for ID.3's brother, the Cupra El Born to have a few more features that I want to have.
Hi Chris, dies it Tell the Outsider Temperaturen?
MORE REGEN!!! Same problem with Mazda MX-30 which I drove today
I dont like Regen, makes the car dirty.
I'd give up a lot of the clever features for driver profiles that allow seat adjustments based on the user. I'm 6ft and my wife is 5ft 1 (and a bit).
No electric seats in my car
Does it show the amount of regen when you brake? In my Golf GTE (hybrid) it always shows this in a dial next to the speedometer. The needle goes from blue into a green area and when it reaches the end it means it has to apply the friction brakes. I find this very useful. When I need to slow down, I can brake just enough to ensure I get as much regen as possible, but not more.
The horizontal bar in the middle of the cluster that Chris points out at one stage lights to the left for regen and to the right for discharge
About 09. I think it is good it rounds to even 10s when you press plus or minus long.
I disagree.
Maybe the errors at startup was caused by low voltage in your 12v system? I saw that it failed. Hope problems go away with the update to the leaking bus. :)
I heard the Zoe also gives all sorts of errors when the aux batteri goes bad.
I’ve worked in Automotive a few years. They can’t fix all of these with the upcoming update...
It would probably take at least 2 years+ to make it stable and get rid of all those bugs.
If they still need to restart the entire system to recover, then the system is in really bad shape...
I think so too!
Lane assist is some legal reason. It must be on on startup and require at least 2 button presses to disable according to regulations.
Yes, I know. But disabling should be easier.
40 days and 6530 km ... would be 60.000 km a year ... even more I had in my CLS 500 back then, the "record car" I had once with over 59.000km in its first 12 months.
Beautifull car back then powerfull , nice design fully equipped even though it had a high consumption, but we had much, much fun. But it had software flaws too.
Several suggestions would apply to any VW, and I doubt that will change, since VW Standard...playing from Bluetooth, ACC jumbs to 110..etc. same on my Passat GTE 2016 already...means obviously the same code is used here.
They have such amount of bugs, which usually means that the team has no time to implement suggestions in my opinion...perhaps in two years...
Furthermore it would break behavior long term VW Owners are used to.
Do you think the weak braking is due to the system not having a vacuum brake servo like an ICE car ?
No, others do fine
Even better: ability to download all data to your phone and export to pc.
Every trip, consumption, travel time, navigation data, charging time, charging power, etc.
There will no doubt be a 3. party phone app that can get the info from the car through an OBD adapter like there is for Leaf, Tesla, etc.
I realised back in January the ID3 had chronic software problems, and that is when I cancelled my order and decided on the Kia E-Niro with proven technology. Such a shame because I was very enthusiastic about the ID3, but realised that the lack of information from VW meant things were serious. When VW declared they would reprogramme the software before releasing the car, that was another warning signal. Then when this did not happen, they said the car would be reprogrammed after delivery at the dealers. VW has really let down their 1st edition customers.
I decided the Model 3 was the only EV I’d consider for the time being. Tesla’s supercharger network is a vital piece of the puzzle if you’re in the US or even parts of Europe (Norway for example) where there are only Tesla Superchargers available. In the US it is an even bigger issue than in Europe. The other beauty of the Model 3 or any Tesla for that matter is the software updates, resale value, performance and efficiency. It’s hard to find a better all around package in my opinion.
These concerns I’ve seen expressed about the ID.3 make me question the success of the upcoming ID.4 which will be VW’s first US-market EV (other than e-Golf compliance car). I hope they are working hard to fix these software bugs because people already distrust VW’s reliability. A new car plagued with 30 malfunctions will piss people off quickly.
Kia E Niro is a bad option when compared to VW ID3 in terms of technology. VW has invested lots into the ID cars also VW software is also being improved to match TESLA level. Maybe TESLA would have been a better choice instead of E niro which is not a built as an EV car. ID3 has more space due to MEB platform
@@fields1 I think ID4 will be successfully even with software problems because Software problems can be fixed with an update while manufacturing defects and massic panel gaps cannot be fixed with a software update.
@@GowthamV07 I would disagree with you. The E-Niro has better range, a larger boot and proven technology. It also has leather upholstery and better quality trim. It has a seven year warranty on the whole car. The new E-Niro 4+ has an 11 Kw onboard charger. The car was designed from the beginning to be capable of being petrol, hybrid and full electric. The ID3 is clearly well designed with good interior space but does have hard plastics in the interior which is clearly to save costs. The biggest issue is the software with lots of reported incidents. Has VW come out with an update tor rectifies these yet? However more to the point is that we as an electric driving community should encourage or friends and relatives to convert to electric cars and reduce emissions. You Tubers like Chris, Tesla bjorn and Andrew Till are doing a great job in pushing electric driving.
@@GowthamV07 Tesla has drastically improved their quality. Both of our Model 3s have no panel gap issues or misaligned interior trim. Also, software issues can cause hardware failures. Look at Polestar. They’re having to recall literally all of their Polestar 2s globally because of faulty parts and faulty software. I had far more problems with rattles and major component failures on my VW Golf GTIs than I’ve had with the Tesla. My last GTI ended up having an engine replacement at 12,000 miles. I’ve got over 32,000 miles on my Model 3 and it’s had ZERO hardware issues.
Don't worry future in-app purchases and as-a-service subscription models will get you a variety of costumizations
How's the wheel after one month? I've ordered the white interior too.
Perfect. No stains, no color change
You do know that the main screen with those widgets is configurable? You cannchange what is displayed and you can add more pages
I know, but I want favourites, special options, not the main stuff.
@@BatteryLife Refering specifically to what you say at 15:35
Chris, does the ID.3 have adaptive creep? I hope it is like the e-Golf, with no creep by default, but if you get into stop and go traffic, you get mild creep. It then go away once you drive above a certain speed, it goes away.
It has a very strong creep which you cannot turn off. It’s ok if it’s your only car but switching from i3 you just hate that
Not sure what adaptive creep is, but it'll creep in all situations unless you turn on Auto-hold. (Turning on Auto-hold at least lasts between sessions - turning off Lane-assist has to be done every time you start.)
@@markiliff The e-Golf has adaptive creep, and it is exactly what I described. I am disappointed that they have reverted to designing it to act like an ICE car with an automatic transmission.
@@mtumasz This is disappointing, I have to say.
Display KW-speed when charging, and stronger regen.
VW Polo 2020, I still have to tap on (switch off-screen after 10s) every single time I get into my car, VW software it's just trash.
Have you scheduled your appointment for the 1st software patch they announce is available 2 days ago? VW says the patch will take 2.5 hours to implement. Or are you going to wait?
My dealer has a 2 week waiting list for the workshop.
@@BatteryLife (sad trombone) ♪ wha-wha-wha- whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......
I hope future updates will be over the air / wifi.
Hi Chris,
Maybe its personal preference but what about keeping it simple? All these options cannot do wonders for reliability. Its just way too complicated. More levels of regen would be nice though. Its more fun and GTI than expected. You almost feel like the young dr in Schwarzwald Clinic who drove a black Golf GTI. Fantastic! :)
not everyone is dumb to keep things simple like you have IQ60, i want all of that plus more information and options.
@@shemmo the user interface in the id3 is just not great. The user interface must be intuitive and dead easy to work with for all drivers including the less clever ones. This is a car for the masses a Volks Wagen.
Nice list. do not agree with all of them. I do not think you should clutter the display with information rather the opposite.
When driving, all the driver would need is speed and next turn (and soc) + error messages. (and temperature/clock).When parking and charging there should be a popup to show charging speed (in kW/h)
What radio station/music is playing is fit for the entertainment screen.
If there is an app the "nerd mode" is that suitable place to be on the phone, as well as a trip log.
Hope the id3 will be a success so the developers can have the recourses to make the UI right. (I would like it to be snappier)
It is like a beta version of the real ID3. Lots of bugs and many functions missing. I hope they see your review and do something about it.
They should also show the charging data also in the instrument cluster and in the app. Then i don't have to go through the menus.
Ah yes, VW.....just retired from 30+ yrs working on VW......at least no coil pack problems😂
So happy my car does over air updates, though I never had any problems in 40k, just more features/range😎
Some extra's maybe to add to list:
1: Driver profiles (depending on key) it remembers your settings like: drive mode, airco settings, radio stations order, prefered distance on ACC, mirror settings, color of interior lighting, etc...
2: A netflix player (only usable when stationary) to make charging more fun
3: ID light charging indicator to keep on showing when car is plugged in (now it stops after a while)
4: Boot infotainment system faster (already start booting when car unlocks might save 30 seconds)
5: Option to put auto high beam by default on without the need to use the handle for the lights
6: cruise control i find it hard to go 1km/h higher, i do not get the hang of the hard vs soft touch. So maybe put the 1km/h on the set en res button in stead of the +- buttons. Or use pres for 10km/h and slide for 1 km/h
For the rest most of your recommendations i find usefull. The one indicating that heating is on i find personally not that usefull, i do not care if it heats or not.Chris did you know that pressing with 2 fingers at the same time on the temp buttons sets your seat heater on? This might help you to faster set your seat heating.
1. Coming in January
2. Not for a while if even
3. I mentioned that in the video
4. Coming in january
5. Not a good idea. Will not happen.
6. I have no problem with that at all.
@@BatteryLife why is 5 not a good idea. The first thing i do is activate it anyway, the function works very well and why not make it defaultable (via menu) if the first thing you do is activate it anyway?
Maybe a last one, the option to download the recordings of the camera (a sort of dashcam function), might be usefull in case of road rage. (is a nice to have)
BTW thanks for the answers, as Belgium is excluded from first movers club i appreciate the communication via this channel.
Sentry Mode
The software is a bit buggy at the moment but most of what you want is available in a Tesla so should be achievable. Get that sorted and it will be a fantastic car 👍🏻
Luckily this is not an ID.3 feature: ruclips.net/video/v_QjcGV0AIU/видео.html
Very good analysis and statements from your part👍......i appreciate your „coolness“ with this VW product but...
this is really poor for such a big brand....VW should not put a car on the market with such an amount of unsolved software bugs. They say they fix this via future software updates but this is the wrong way. VW claims „first mover“ i say these customer are „first crap tester rollout“. You drive a unfinished sperimental car in public roads..... is this legal?? 🧐
When the cruise control not working also the power of the car is reduced, 0-100 takes 10.5s (soc 70, sport)
Really? Have not noticed.
Omg. So happy I ordered eNiro instead.
Does is tell the outside temperature?
Of course.
Yes. Just below the time in the left-top corner of the infotainment screen.
Try STA-TIS-TICS ;-)
I did read there was already an over the air hotfix for the worst errors. Did you get that? Great points for changes on the interface. The usability is pretty suboptimal at the moment.
And yes, of course it needs nerd mode!
You are actually looking to set up everything that Hyundai Kona has!
Kona is awesome. Still based on fossile though!
Tesla have had 8 years since model S to sort out OTA updates and other issues, also started with low volumes. VW need to fix these issues but we shouldn't be too hard on them as they are trying to compress their learning curve whilst rapidly ramp up production. Production Hell as Elon calls it :)
Why on earth did VW launch this car before it was ready!! I notice there are lots of 1st Editions for sale in the UK on Autotrader.
First Mover, we knew that. We wanted the car early.
Because they need to sell the cars this year to lower their fleet average pollution numbers, or pay huge penalties. The software seems in worse shape than I would have expected, but as long as they make decent progress with software updates it will be okay. Let's hope they can deliver on that promise.
It is interesting to see that all suggested improvements are about software and data presentation. It is not about the car and the hardware itself. Who wants to deal with that? I dont. I never liked fancy software updates on my computer that made my life inconvenient. I assume that customers that dont care about the software will hate all this, whatever VW is going to do about this. Good luck if this is intended to become the new mainstream car. To me this looks more like it might become a nice toy for nerds. Sorry, I have no intention to insult anyone, but I just dont understand the car manufacturers and would love to see that they get real.
I think it is the other way around. If the software would be ok and there would be a lot of driving or hardware features wrong.
Then the car could not improve anymore.
@@BatteryLife Just ask your wife what she thinks of your suggestions.
No shade about the ID.3, but I can’t believe there’s this many problems in the software after A YEAR OF WORKING ON SOFTWARE BUGS. I feel like they could’ve started from scratch and rewritten the entire programming in that amount of time. Clearly there’s fundamental issues with VW’s software or hardware leading to all of these malfunction warnings. I used to get the same front assist warnings on my Golf GTI 5 years ago!
still having issues, it is 2022!
Ignoring all the outright bugs, which no doubt will be fixed, but focusing on the UI design, it would have helped if the designers had been given a Tesla to drive for a month. ;) Some of their design choices show a rather surprising inability to put themselves in the user's perspective, e.g., with the buttons to reset the trip counters. The most important Tesla innovation that is now needed is frequent software updates. This is not part of the VW culture yet, let's hope they can manage to make it a reality.
I was testing a Tesla before I bought the ID3. I like the ID software UI much better than Tesla's. Also my wife would have killed me if I had bought a Tesla because of the UI. Not bashing Tesla here, I really think they are great. But the ID UI is much more suited to normal users. My opinion.
Battery temperature should be mandatory. It is essential to driving characteristic of the car and maintenance of good state of health of battery. We should really make an online petiton and it could be sent to EU representatives and it could be really easy to make it obligatory for car manufacturers to give out "nerd mode" for car owner to have clear understanding. In USA they made cameras mandatory and even the cheapest car has it. Why not give out some of data that car uses to regulate its power usage/output. TeslaByorn did that little quad with cabin for deliveries and it had both battery and motor temperature indicators. In digital world, that is not even mentionable cost to implement on manufacturers and saves millions in battery wear on users if used on whole. How many battery capacity over thousands of vehicles and years of usage can be saved, prevented from too early degradation? and just a reminder, VW did make a software to fake emissions by RECOGNISING THE TESTING enviroment - so the software and hardware capacity is a non mentionable cost for a single digital display bit of coding in final version of user interface. how much code is to put "show batt temp value ('C)". and we should demand all data to be free available from car to be used by user, it is our car, i already had to sign that VW collects my data, why cant I collect my data?
What ever will you use normal cruise control for? ACC is just heaven.
Autobahn. ACC slows me down way too far away from the next car on the lowest setting.
And besides the Autobahn, in countries where you have slush/snow and the ACC sensor has no view sometimes, the normal cruise would be really useful too.
I have a suggestion for you, when you have finish to play with id3 buy a Hyundai or a Kia the most important think you said in this vidéo is stock on this Korean cars.
But the Id.3 drives so much better!
@@BatteryLife hahaha, good joke
Not a joke. Rearwheel drive, seating position, comfort, suspension, steering
is so much better in the Id.3 FOR ME!
Your taste maybe different ;)
@@BatteryLife I think your are too much in love with your car for the moment and somebody saying something had ever wrong.
After this video of many thinks you don't like you can not admit perhaps you done simply the wrong choice.
Love it.
I'd bet that the code for many of those Nice Things is already in the firmware you have. It lies in wait for monetization. Want ten trips? Chaaaching! Then VW enables it.
It's wild how we talk about this almost like it is normal or excepted... Could you imagine 10-20 years ago telling someone your brand new car AC doesn't work all the time and you're getting a wiper error ha. Matt from carwow saw the same issues with Lane assist and Front assist during his test. I am sure VW will get this stuff fixed but pretty they shipped such a buggy car.
Volkswagen have made it quite clear that there are software issues to be worked out, so buyers are going in with eyes open. Early adopters like to be part of the solution, so why not let them?
@@fishndive1961 who said they couldn’t ? It’s just interesting to see how the automotive Industry has switched from mechanical problems to software problems. More so that people are excepting them. But I guess you did see a bit of that with special cars back in the day.
I was given the choice of accepting the car in Sep with beta software, or waiting 3-4 months for the production version. Given that Brexit in Jan will further crash the £ and possibly introduce tariffs too, I opted to become a so-called First Mover. No-one forced me to.
@@markiliff VW still has not given a firm date from what I know so hopefully 3-4 and they don’t delay it. I wonder why VW felt that they needed to release the car now instead of waiting. Also the only thing VW said about the software was it was missing the augmented HUD and the car play. Nothing about dealing with errors the self driving feature set. VW already sold a ton of these but honestly the launch was a mess. UK/Ireland didn’t even get the Max for whatever reason
@@02semiata I'm not defending VW UK for a minute. They were utterly shambolic until dealers got involved. I don't know where your "only thing VW said" comes from, but it was certainly *not* the only thing my dealer said before I signed on the line
Hoffentlich sehen die Marketingleute von VW diesen Clip, sehr gute Vorschläge aus dem „real life EV User“
Oh dear VW, how long did we wait for this car? I will stay with my BMW i3!
Do you think VW are watching this, and taking these suggestions for the next OTA? I suppose one has to hope. Maybe VW needs a twitter account like Musk.
I posted it on the Official VW First Movers Club group!
But I don't think so.
I still don't understand why you didn't just get a M3
Drive feel, seeting position, suspension, i like better in the Id3
Every body knows the software is not ready now .... blablabla
Du hast die fehlende Beleuchtung für Lautstärke / Heizung vergessen. Geht ja überhaupt nicht. Erster VW bei dem das nicht beleuchtet ist.
Brauch ich nicht und kann mit Software Update nicht geändert werden.
@@BatteryLife 'Ist aber nach meiner unwürdigen Meinung ein schwerer Mangel.
@Martin K. Hast du einen ID 3 und stört es wirklich so sehr? Oder ist das nur Theorie? Ich fand es auch schade. Aber wir haben einen ID 3 und wir haben gemerkt, daß man sich in der Praxis sehr schnell dran gewöhnt, so daß es nach relativ kurzer Zeit nicht mehr stört. Anstelle von VW würde ich das zwar bei neueren hinzufügen. Aber ein schwerer Mangel ist das nicht.
The new VW "bug" - a huge one
We asked vw to deliver new bug.. here we go, lot of bugs 😂
Floating speed digits is utter distracting stupidity. We need stable number onits places and floating around. Jeebus.
Forgive me, but I can't resist pointing out that most of the things you say you want are already present in my e-Niro...... Just saying.
True. But I prefer how the Id.3 drives!
Yes, I know you thought long and hard before you chose the Id.3 and I wasn't trying to rubbish your choice! Happy motoring.
Look at this review and find out how smart regen is in D-mode ruclips.net/video/a9w22O0Rvgk/видео.html
When you know is you don't want B mode any more. In General Regen is is not a sufficiënt way to dive. Less is beter because you will always lose energy.
No, b is better.
