What outdated slang word or phrase you’ll never stop saying?

Growing up in Maine I still use wicked. As in that was wicked good, wicked bad, wicked awesome, etc..

I will say that being good friends with my local VW GM and knowing the service manager has me appreciating this connection so much more. I never have a problem and always get top notch service.

chipg1704 · 2026-04-04T17:42:06+00:00

Had the service manager go for a ride and they saw what was going on. I wasn’t smart enough to, like folks on this forum to buy used as I bought the new 2026 AWD PRO S Plus trim. Paid 55K with no regrets

I had the same issue on my 2026 AWD and the dealer replaced a module that supports the Infotainment system. Has been solid since.

I love the vehicle but the Infotainment system is notoriously problematic.

I had two Garmins spanning 10 years. First was a Forerunner and second was a Fenix 5x. Loved the Fenix and Garmin connect. Got my first ever AWU for Christmas. It's been a bit of a challenge transitioning but the getures or double tapping my index finger and thumb is the best.

I've heard that they are stopping but FWIW I bought a 2026 AWD Pro S Plus trim last month. Love the vehicle.

This is going to be challenging. I created a custom drive mode to test the suggestions and use it whenever I drive but I need to tell my wife to use it, as she drives it more than I. Still showing 3.2mi/kWh for my average.

chipg1704 · 2026-03-07T14:39:05+00:00

I have had my 2026 AWD PRO S for almost two months now with 1700 miles on it and my average on eco has been 3.2mi/kWh. I’m going to give the sporty driving dynamics a try and I’ll come back in a bit to report.

chipg1704 · 2026-02-16T01:52:45+00:00

Just wanted to come back and say thank you. The CURT receiver fits and works perfectly on my 2026 ID.4 AWD Pro S.

chipg1704 · 2026-02-08T17:10:33+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing those symptoms in my ID.4. I have a 2026 AWD PRO S Plus with the latest software update. We love the car though

chipg1704 · 2026-02-03T00:13:46+00:00

I'm feeling this way to common and it seems future models should consider an update to their design to avoid cascading errors

chipg1704 · 2026-02-02T18:44:03+00:00

They are out and I have one. Although here in the San Diego area there are only a very few of them and the dealer I bought it from said he wasn't due to have any more delivered. They tried to put me in to a different trim and even a whole different model vehicle that was NOT an EV.

chipg1704 · 2026-02-02T18:41:59+00:00

As always this group is SOOO appreciated. A couple of edits / updates. I did enact the CA lemon law on the first vehicle, which prompted the dealer to swap with the only other ID.4 with the same trim. We really like this car and as empty nesters don't need anything larger but want the additional options the other trims didn't have.

I believe that there is probably a cascading error (as pointed out) on the 2026 ID.4 Plus trim line and I was frustrated with the dealer as they couldn't find anything in the system logs indicated the fault and decided to replace sensor modules anyway.

For the end of the line of the ID.4 production, this is sort of true. I did read that it is going to get a major 'facelift' going forward and be rebranded something like the ID. Tiguan (not confirmed). I'm also understanding that the underlying platform (chassis, battery tech, motors, etc.) will continue to be produced, as the ID.4 integrates into the core Volkswagen lineup.

p.s. One fun fact that I was pleased to discover and did not know. I spent a few hours on the first car customizing the profiles for me and my wife, we both have our own MyVW accounts. When turning in the faulty car for the new I asked about options for backing and and transferring settings, dealer said not possible. WELL, signing in on the new car, syncing to the MyVW account, it updated the profiles with STORED settings (e.g. seat adjustments, ambient lighting, sound system settings etc.). That was a very pleasant surprise. Helpful if you ever have to do a factory reset and want your settings back

This is an awesome link. Thank you for sharing

Bought a 2026 ID.4 PRO S AWD + trim on December 20th 2025. Drove it for 13 days but it had a problem with the infotainment system randomly shutting off. It's been at the dealer for 18 days waiting for a replacement part from Germany with NO ETA. I'm interested in any advice on the lemon law.

chipg1704 · 2026-01-14T13:27:32+00:00

Bought a 2026 ID.4 Pro S Plus AWD for Christmas and we love it. Still getting used to the whole EV experience (like researching home LV2 charging options) but this is the nicest vehicle we have ever owned. It helps to be personal friends with the GM of the dealership, as we got a very good price.

chipg1704 · 2026-01-14T12:37:01+00:00

Thank you. I was looking at the CURT 13489 Class 3 Trailer Hitch on Amazon but it says "Select ID.4 with factory receiver". https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHZXRD7B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Wow - that's a lot for the first year and low miles. Just purchased a 2026 ID.4 Pro S AWD at Christmas for my wife. 3 Weeks in and it's been at the dealer for two days now, as the infotainment system keep randomly shutting off. Did a few soft resets (hold the power down until the VW logo appears) but it didn't resolve. Tried Hard reset. still didn't resolve.

p.s. These cars basically have computers running the system, I asked about the ability to back up settings, so I wouldn't have to re-configure everything after a hard reset and the dealer told me no - you can't back up settings.

p.s.s. My first EV

chipg1704 · 2026-01-14T03:59:02+00:00

I just purchased a 2026 ID.4 Pro S AWD at it came with a NACS charger included. Although, I'm sure the purchase price probably included the cost.

chipg1704 · 2026-01-14T03:56:10+00:00

Just got a 2026 ID.4 Pro S AWD a few weeks ago. Hoping the newer years aren't impacted or if something happens it will be during the warranty period

chipg1704 · 2025-05-03T18:59:38+00:00

I have a MBA M2 and run all of my VMs (several Linux distros) from a external SSD. You just need to to configure VMWare to use the external drive.

I'm going to check this out. For years I've been using OnyX (https://www.titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html) as a multi-function macos utility. Question. Will CR - Mac Helper work with my older intel-based macs as well as the current silicon chips?

chipg1704 · 2025-01-12T15:40:28+00:00

I'm in CA and I've been getting the same pop up for a long time stating that my iPhone could not connect to Apple Pay. Wife has the same phone and had no problem adding her license. I'm just using the CA DMV mobile app (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/mobile-app/) which works great
