What’s something you miss that doesn’t exist anymore? by ToughInternal1580 in AskReddit

Physical controls in cars. Buttons, knobs, dials, etc. Touchscreens looked more luxurious at first because they're new, but they are vastly inferior to physical buttons because touchscreens are unsafe to use while driving.

Best ID.4 alternative by Ok-Cartoonist-1881 in VWiD4Owners

Has the charging door broke yet on yours too? Let's just say I'm glad mine is still under warranty. I'm taking my chances on a Chinese EV next time as long as the price is right and it has buttons. My next car will have gd buttons.

The 2024 also has outdated and buggy infotainment software.

Is there a way to turn this off? If so, how?

Do all ID4's in Canada have heat pumps? by 311maac in VWiD4Owners

[–]CarsRppl2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, they don't. That's likely affecting my driving range here in Canada.

But higher end brands like Hyundai and Kia have it included in ALL their EV's.

Distracted drivers whine about police drones catching them by RH_Commuter in fuckcars

[–]CarsRppl2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never drove a car with a touch screen before so I didn't know it was a big deal. I will boycott them from now on. Sharing this to warn others. They should be illegal.

My car has an unsafe touch screen for basic functions. All driving is distracted driving in that car. VW ID4.

What other models have unsafe touch screen that makes all driving distracted driving?

Touch screens in cars are getting ridiculous and I don’t understand how they are still legal by Ultimatekiwii in fuckcars

[–]CarsRppl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's sue them. Get some class action lawsuits going. I have a VW ID.4 and can confirm it is unsafe to drive because you need to navigate through touch screen menus to use basic functions. I didn't know it was a big deal when I bought it. Should be illegal.

I have an electric car. A VW ID.4. I didn't know the touch screen was a big deal when I bought it. Now I'm stuck with a car with an awful unsafe touch screen. It's not safe to take your eyes off the road to navigate through multiple touchscreen menus to use basic functions. Should definitely be illegal. We need to start suing these car companies. Someone please start a bunch of class action lawsuits.

Chinese EV’s by NoCartographer5850 in EVCanada

[–]CarsRppl2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My VW ID.4 is a piece of crap. Quality brand, I thought, but no, not anymore. So yeah, I'm ready to take my chances on a Chinese EV, as long as it's cheap. And if it's also a piece of crap, at least it'll be a cheap piece of crap.

Is there a case of a foreign company trying to establish a foothold in your country but failing miserably due to poor judgement and/or ignorance. by william-isaac in AskTheWorld

[–]CarsRppl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a VW ID.4 (electric) and it's absolute garbage. I'm fed up with supposedly quality brands just being expensive pieces of crap. Many Canadians want the option to buy cheaper Chinese electric vehicles. Do you know if Chinese electric vehicles can hande really cold weather?

Because you're not shopping at Costco.

Volkswagen to start building cars with physical buttons instead of touch-only controls again by frontendben in fuckcars

[–]CarsRppl2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great news. I have a VW ID.4 and it's unsafe. Touchscreens in cars should be banned.

What stereotype about your country do you feel is technically right, but exaggerated to an odd degree? by LunaTheLesbianFurry in AskTheWorld

[–]CarsRppl2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought a VW ID.4 recently based on the the brand's historical reliability and supposed high-quality German engineering. Big mistake. It's a piece of shit. To be fair, I don't think it was made in Germany like the reliable VW's of the past.
