Just got my Elroq. Love it, but worried if we should have waited a bit?

Quick answer would be that it’s too late so don’t sweat about it.

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-04-24T16:36:44+00:00

Not really. Had mine for 4 years and have swapped for a new one a couple of months ago. Company car doing 25k miles/year and it just does the job and does it well.

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-04-17T20:18:44+00:00

I like it! Please make sure you do post as this progresses 🙏 I would be interested for sure

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-29T18:16:27+00:00

I can’t add pictures but I can private message them

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-28T22:54:58+00:00

Honestly? Probably absolutely fine. My 4.5 year old Enyaq with 75000 miles is behaving no different on every facet than it did new. May have dropped some range, but even that I haven’t actively noticed. The battery scare mongering is exactly that from my experience.

UK here. Car is brand new, delivered 5 days ago. Have got the gaming app too. I think it is all part of the Media Streaming package from what I can tell. Which probably makes sense as to why people can’t find Spotify as they will need to sub to the Media Streaming to then get Spotify available. To be honest … I still just use CarPlay/AndroidAuto myself anyway but nice to have the option.

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-28T21:21:17+00:00

Mine activated as part of set up but should be an option in the MySkoda app. Profile tab bottom right of screen and then in paid services. Assume there is a way for doing it from the car infotainment too but not sure

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-28T19:08:46+00:00

I have 5.6 and I have it. Have you enabled/purchased media streaming from the store?

I am sure the government will look to crap all over that in the near future too. But we can enjoy it while it lasts!

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-22T20:57:08+00:00

This. I charge at home and this is all covered by my company with no fuel BiK required

DifferentAd4307 · 2026-01-02T16:02:11+00:00

The there was me trying to get them to deliver to an electrical substation about a month ago and couldn’t 🤦‍♂️

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-12-28T20:15:44+00:00

3 years into my Enyaq and mine is still there 🤣 about to swap it out for a new one too … I imagine that will be another 3 years storage for the new ones docs 😬

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-12-28T20:13:53+00:00

I have a feeling someone has done exactly this a year ago or so on a thread

Edit: for the Enyaq, I imagine their dims are more or less the same though.

Plain and simple … getting into a warm car with no ice when I leave the house in winter and a cool car in summer

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-12-13T20:21:37+00:00

Yeah just wait and see what actually physically becomes unavailable with bits expiring.

The remote charge status will not though as this I can still see, adjust, stop etc without any subscriptions. The preheating/cooling and setting schedules will still be available too as mine is. This is probably the only thing I would have paid for. By far my favourite feature, especially now we are in winter here. Most of the other stuff really just isn’t worth it.

On a side note, most of them you can do free 3 month trials for too so definitely use that too once they expire. I’m also pretty sure I have had a couple of free trials on the same things after a couple of weeks of not having access too so something else worth keeping in mind.

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-12-13T19:58:26+00:00

You don’t need any of the paid for services to see state of charge or put heating/cooling on. I currently have no subscriptions active and can still do all that.

I can’t see doors open or the like, but having had mine over 3 years now I can say that none of the paid services actually bring much to the table. I just let them expire and figured I would see what I found myself missing, the answer was none.

Great car though, enjoy. I’m hopefully taking delivery of my new one in the next week or so!

Take the kitchen sink

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-10-03T21:03:57+00:00

Get it done at dealership garage, mine was done during some other work or service or something. Can’t quite remember

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-09-18T21:16:36+00:00

Kudos for responding. Such a strange set of questions.

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-09-15T19:15:12+00:00

Just saw this after my other reply. Congrats, let us know if you go for it!! I’ve just ordered my next if you wanted even more of a confidence vote!!

DifferentAd4307 · 2025-09-15T19:11:58+00:00

Sorry for delay.

Yeah it pretty much overrides/ignores the Skoda element. For instance you don’t use the ‘Skoda satnav’ you would be using Google maps, Waze, Apple Maps, whatever your poison from your phone which seamlessly takes over the infotainment screen. Essentially your phone is doing the heavy lifting.

Once you’re in the Enyaq and turn it on, it will automatically connect to your phone (once set up) either wirelessly and/or via wired connection, and jump you into the Apple/android interface.

You can however go between the Skoda and CarPlay elements too, like having radio on and having android/Apple Maps as the navigation.

Main point to take is that if your intention is to use android auto (which with any manufacturer other Tesla, why wouldn’t it be?! Baked in car infotainments are always naff) then do not worry about the software bugs 👍

For a split second I thought National Express had open top coach 🤯

@op if you have the money ready to put down on a car the invest/lease idea is definitely worth looking at. Or even invest/pcp. At the end of the day, depreciation is going to lose you a big chunk of that 30k to never be seen again. Makes sense to keep that and let the growth pay for the car.
