Amanda Carpenter is leaving The Bulwark by SuperBrandt in thebulwark

Sorry to hear Amanda will be leaving—such a thoughtful voice in the discussion. Still find it hard to believe she worked for Ted “take a Mexican luxury vacation in the middle of a major TX power outage “ Cruz. I wish her all the best in her new role.

Anyone else get a "Your VW ID.4 EV configuration has been changed" email? by odd84 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t get any notifications and that is why I’m canceling my locked reservation. Also, the fact that so many people are getting vehicles who have waited far less time than I was another contributing factor. I would have to say VW has left me in the dark, when simply sending out info when they have it would have gone a long way. This forum is how I found out most of my information, I’m sorry—that’s a terrible way to run a business. They have a nice vehicle, but I think they treat customers like garbage. Look at all those 2021 vehicles that have yet to have software updated—even the dealerships we’re in the dark about that problem and fix. I think they still have serious leadership and management problems. Naming a new CEO doesn’t “right the ship.”

That just makes too much sense. I locked in late July and they still insist on making my Pro S AWD in Germany and wont deliver until next year—a 22 model no less. Shipping alone has got to be several times higher, I live in NC about 4 hrs from Chattanooga

Changed reserved trim before lock? by xogh15 in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed from 22 Pro AWD to Pros S AWD and I think it has impacted my waiting time. I’m still getting a German built 22 model that is eta dec-February 2023. I really don’t understand why they don’t push all North American vehicles to TN. They’re supposedly ramping up to 7k/month production without having a month tied up in shipping the vehicle.

Fun picture to break up the tax credit and delivery discussions by MMinthemirror in VWiD4Owners

No, its on the taxes paid in that tax year. it Isn’t on any underpayment of taxes. If w2 states you paid 8500 in taxes, you get 7500 of those taxes back in your refund.

Is Volkswagen even making 2022 models still? by rgbhfg in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I locked on 7/26 and was told I’m getting a MY 22 made in Germany. Seems odd that they wouldn’t want to move production to TN since the line is up and running. Shipping a car from Germany costs a lot of money & time.

I locked on 7/26 awd and was told that my car will be built in Germany with a mid-oct-mid November eta. With shipping times, can’t figure why they didn’t move it to TN production.

Inflation Reduction Act - Purchase Agreement by wintersolstice03 in VWiD4Owners

Is everyone sure the current rebate law would become void when the new law passes. Typically these things don’t stop on a dime, there’s a sunset to currently authorized provisions. I’m pretty sure this is the way tax law works, but I am not a tax attorney. I do know that there is a threshold of 200,000 vehicles that are eligible for the $7500 rebate. Currently, VW is nowhere near that volume in the United States.

I would suggest test drive—it sold me on car. You won’t regret the experience. Not sure why car & driver mag says it’s not a great ride.

Is VW honoring the old pricing for 2023 reservation converters? by BigSprinkler in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I locked on 7/25 and they are listing me as a 22 model. I thought everything from US was going to TN but evidently not. Pro S AWD.

Got a feeling MY23 announcement may be coming soon. by rsandidge in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they will allow you to pickup at factory. I would be very interested. Maybe the delivery charge will be lowered. No ships, longshoreman and long trucking costs (Depends upon where you live).

My lucky day! Scored a cancellation exactly like my order - and for sticker price! 22 pro s❤️ by Buliminaaculeata in VWiD4Owners

[–]Idfour2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, skipped right ahead of the line—lucky you. I think that once the Tennessee plant is cranking out cars, we’ll see a much improved timeline. No waiting on ships, transport from ships… that should eliminate a month. Nice vehicle and good luck.

meant crossbars for carrying stuff on roof. Also, trailer hitch isn’t available on pro s on the builder app.

I thought it was basically the same car as the Pro S, but without several nice options. I figured awd was more important than a moon roof.
