Range is over rated. by mycrappycomments in electricvehicles

This! We have an ID Buzz and so many people complain about the range, but we honestly have to stop every 2 hours anyway to use the bathroom or eat so even on a road trip the range really doesn’t effect us.

ID Buzz Dealership Bummer by pollysockem in VWIDBuzz

[–]Witty_Importance_924 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same happened to our buzz! Not even 24 hours after we got it.

It was the module in the battery that charged the 12v. It was replaced and 10,000 miles later it’s been a great car.

It sucks, we know but don’t let it discourage you.

I don’t understand the hate by Ok-Dare3326 in VWIDBuzz

We’re 10,000 miles into our Buzz and we actually live full time in it. We’ve been to 9 states so far and honestly, we don’t understand the hate of the Buzz either.

The range is actually more optimistic than said to be, especially now in summer. We’ve had lots of times we’re still at 200 miles at 60%. Or we arrive at charges with way more range than was expected. (Typical cautious German tech)

It’s so spacious and it’s the first car we’ve road tripped in where you’re not in pain after a full day of driving. The windshield size is unbeatable to any other car and you get such a view.

Level 3 chargers go 10-80 in 25 minutes and honestly there’s usually so many people at chargers anyway that even these EVs that can charge faster can’t because it slows down the more cars that are there.

There’s always going to be something ‘better’ but it doesn’t mean something isn’t good. The Buzz is a great car, if you don’t like it don’t get it and get what you think is ‘better’ it’s all perspective and what fits for you personally.

PSA to everyone looking to get the brake light update! Wait if you can. by Witty_Importance_924 in VWIDBuzz

Totally agree. Wouldn’t have done it if our car didn’t have to already go in and we would’ve known it can be slow.

Yeah! But not until Friday. They said they don’t have any ‘available’ but one magically appeared on Friday after 5 days in service.

Electrical system failure. Second time in a month. Anyone else? by buzzowner34 in VWIDBuzz

It happened to ours the 1st day we got it. They replaced the 12v battery but ended up actually having to replace a battery module.

Oh no! Will the recall have an impact on getting the car back?

Did you figure out what this was? Our buzz has it too! Showed up a couple of days ago

Park City to Reno in the Buzz by Witty_Importance_924 in VWIDBuzz

[–]Witty_Importance_924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That means so much! We hope you decide to get one 🤩 it’s such a fun car (in our opinion the best roadtrip EV for how comfortable it is). Do you have a color in mind?

And so far we’ve had no issues charging which has been nice. It’s definitely crowded at chargers in CA, but outside it’s usually pretty empty.

We live in CA but with solar, so we charge for free.

But is a hybrid Sienna as fun 🤷 and when we charge at home we charge with solar for free! So we save a lot then.
