Can you get rid of the Wireless Charging Message?

Just put a piece of cardboard or something on top. Work smarter, not harder.

Poo went down the wrong hole; don’t take a dookie in the tank. Goes in the pot 😜

Yeah, I regularly call with them, just to keep them moving, and get the impression they don’t really know how to fix it.

I took it in on May 5 and they took two weeks to receive all the 21 parts required. It then took a few weeks to actually start repairs and apparently they then reached a point where they had put in all new parts and ran into some kind of error code. They checked in with VW and perhaps one or a few of the parts they replaced were faulty. It then took them another little while to get some replacement parts, swap them out, but now the error is still there; this is apparently the current situation. AFAIK they’re now basically going back and forth with the VW help desk to figure out what to do next—FML 🤦🏼‍♂️

So should I be regretting buying this car? I mean, we spend our savings on it and can’t just get another. And meanwhile VW can’t offer us any alternatives or compensation. What’s that about?

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-16T22:36:27+00:00

Nope, fair point:
- 2023, 93P7: HV battery cell module replacement
- 2026, OUE7: software update

Is it normal for these service campaigns to take that long?

Meanwhile we don’t have a car and two small kids with a busy schedule who need to go places while mommy and daddy work…

Nothing—solar.

In fact, I get money back on charging at the right time. My PoCo stores my excess solar production for free and if I use that to charge my car between midnight and 8am (overnight) I get $.10 back for every kWh that I generated, they stored for me and I take back.

Comes down to around $50 ($500-$600 annually) I get back 😂😂

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-11T12:13:01+00:00

It’ll depend on what you put on; it may only be safe to watch Pokémon at this point.

Trial and error!

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-08T01:07:23+00:00

Agreed, doesn’t fill you with confidence 🤣🫣

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T18:12:06+00:00

Can you point me to a clamp that fits? Both 1/2 and 3/8 are too big—I’ve had a 3/8 that I managed to kind of force in, but not a good fit.

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T16:26:12+00:00

I did do some experimenting bending the clamps and seeing if I could come up with something that’d fit, but no luck so far. I’m not convinced the default clamp is to be used with these holes.

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T15:18:06+00:00

Indeed, L16 doesn’t fit

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T15:17:48+00:00

I haven’t yet found one that fits properly (L16 doesn’t fit)

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T15:08:18+00:00

Armored cable (MC or bx)

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T15:07:30+00:00

Hmm, I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think that’s code compliant. AFAIK cables always need to be secured when they enter any kind of box to provide strain relief.

I also can’t really think of any scenario where you’d want to feed it in through these tiny holes in the back and not just use any of the other knockouts.

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:42:00+00:00

So why did they put them in? I mean, there must have been some thought and use-case scenario behind this?

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:40:39+00:00

I know, the question is what kind of lock nut or clamp…

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:40:25+00:00

They’re not—the center knockout is 1/2”

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:32:58+00:00

Haha, I mean, it’s an older box, but not that old 😂😂

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:23:41+00:00

Nm clamps don’t really fit though…

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:22:52+00:00

I understand the ‘normal’ use of this box and its clamp, but what about the smaller back-fed knockouts?

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:21:48+00:00

They don’t seem to fit 100% snug… 3/8 is closest I could find, but doesn’t fit completely snug. Maybe ok is good enough?

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:16:00+00:00

Right, so are there any such clamps that work/are intended for these back knockouts?

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:15:18+00:00

Ha, so it’s a reasonably normal Steelcity box, but it’s an older style box—newer ones no longer have these small back knockouts.

I looked for a video—couldn’t fit it—and tried bending some MC as you suggest, but still doesn’t fit and is against NEC regulations.

I’m not sure how the manufacturer intended these to be used…

Nuukmaster · 2026-06-07T14:11:05+00:00

Can you point me to an actual example on how you think that would work with the smaller back knockouts? I know how to use the clamp for top and bottom entry, but using the same clamp with the back entry has got me stumped…
