Duped? Complicit

I took one look at the open evse instructions and noped the f out. I'm not an electrician nor trustworthy to do that level of work. I wouldn't trust most home gamers to wire Ethernet let alone 240/60amps.

Which do you like driving more? And which do you think is a better / more reliable car?

I was locked in on the id.4 for the price, I ended up getting the car for about 31.5 OTD, for an AWD pro, after 7500/3500/1000 in incentives, so the mach e or other EV's were not really in the conversation. We had looked at the Kona, but it's too small for our use too.

The 24 has some updates that prior years don't have. So far I don't mind them. I'm really still adjusting to the car and trying to get it set to my liking. Lots of little things which are odd. So much light in the cabin at night.

The UI is still really distracting while driving in general. In my old car, I could defrost, or dial the radio with out looking, I could adjust heat direction or put on defogger without thought. This is far more attention requiring.

But, I like the car. Far from perfect, but light years more advanced than the 15 year old sti it replaced. Faster too.

No I mean vw gives electrify America 500 kWh charging for the 24's, unlike prior years with free 30 m sessions for 3 years vw Id 4 charging plan

I was a little surprised at how expensive it was, and I've only got 500kwh of charging... But that's why I got l2 at home.

That last comment I feel, even if I've only gone a short distance.

 

This is a bit of navel gazing as I've now had my id.4 for just over a month. We've only managed a mere 350 miles. While we've had the car it's been enjoyable. Prior to pickup I had an l2 installed at home, since I live in a fast charger black hole. We had a major issue in the first week, and It spend the entire month of July at the dealer being serviced. It was pretty disappointing. The loaner wasn't the id.4 I purchased, and has really left me concerned about the longevity of this purchase. Any other new EV owners out their learning the ropes? I've yet to take my first big road trip in it because it was broken :(.

Ill take un neutered over neutered One time over subscription

This subscription model of life just sucks.

Some of this is intentional by design. Shedding head count through willing attrition.
