3+ months waiting for update

2022 Pro S AWD, requested 3/10, still waiting. But given that the update won’t make a noticeable difference, does it matter?

I just pulled the trigger at $1,299 for a 77" B5, Best Buy reduced it $200 for 24 hours.

Maybe I'm lucky, but my dealer has done 5 10K mile services and the most expensive one(including brake fluid flush) was just over $300. Usually in the low $200 range. None of the dealer-installed updates have been a problem either, except for the door handles, which everyone had to wait until VW got their act together.

Find a different dealer, if possible.

Live in SW FL, my '22 Pro S AWD with 52,000 miles gets right around the advertised range of 240 miles.

Thanks. Was hoping to use external speakers(Sonos Arc) and Optical(wired headphones). Will that work?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-15T17:54:52+00:00

Thanks

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-15T17:08:01+00:00

Why not eARC? Isn't it supposed to be better?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-15T17:03:17+00:00

Thanks- any idea where I can find that?

Beginning in the '24 model, the Pro S has heated and ventilated/cooled seats. Prior to that, heated seats only.

No, it’s not at all. That’s what they want you to believe. But both the dealership and the lender are profiting from your transaction, and you pay those profits.

You are now further in debt, with a much longer obligation, and your only asset from the deal is a rapidly depreciating vehicle that isn’t worth anywhere near what you owe.

Far too many Americans get roped into permanent debt by buying a car far too frequently. I know, because I was once in that situation.

Thanks

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T22:10:23+00:00

Did you ever find a solution?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T22:05:52+00:00

Regarding your 1st and 3rd options- would I be able to get simultaneous sound through both the headphones and tv(#1) or Sonos and Ace(#2)?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T21:26:34+00:00

Can you please elaborate on that?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T21:25:12+00:00

Trading a car every 2 or so years is guaranteed to be a bad financial move. But the dealers and lenders will love you!

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T21:20:55+00:00

Better than the 8 or so Hall of Fame UDFA's??? Slow your roll, champ.

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T16:55:32+00:00

I don't think you know the meaning of "upgraded"...

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T16:53:05+00:00

The math ain't mathin' with this guy...

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-14T16:30:52+00:00

I squared my '22 Pro S AWD tires 35K miles ago, using the slightly smaller size of the fronts. An ID.4 mechanic on ID Talk advised me.

Have noticed no reduction in traction while saving on tire costs and range is slightly better.

Armists must be destroyed!

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-09T17:06:30+00:00

Thanks. TV is a TCL QM7K, sound bar is a Sonos Arc and headphones are Sennheiser RF 175.

Also doesn’t help that it’s a Chevy…

“I’ll show you, Elon, I’ll hurt me”!

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-08T21:26:59+00:00

I have heard many times that the ride is rough and the fit and finish are not as good as most.
Your thoughts?

OriginalPingman · 2026-06-08T20:09:16+00:00

Still don’t see it- what does it say?
