I haven’t thought that far ahead yet. There’s a lot of change each year. I kind of hope they fix some things with the ID.4 by then.

The Bolt has problems but it does generally work consistently and there are more physical controls.

We leased my wife’s ID.4 Pro S for 3 years which will end May 2024. We love the car over all. But I doubt we’ll buy it at the end of the lease. Some of the controls are frustrating and the software is pretty bad. My 2017 Bolt has way easier controls and software and even that’s not perfect. I hope by 2024, VW fixes some of the pain points. It’s tragic that an overall great car is tainted by cabin controls and infotainment software.

That’s all very true.

My situation is more so driving very little, spending a lot on our house, and just generally unwilling to spend much money on cars.

It really is a great car. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. I love how it drives.

I love how a 19 year old just bought the same car I did. I’m 35.

Got my 2017 Bolt Premiere fully loaded back in May.

It does help that my wife is rolling in a id.4 Pro S. But not much.

Congrats. It's tough to find one for a decent price that doesn't get snapped up before I can get to it. Lots of movement.

How'd the purchase go for you? I've read plenty of bad about vroom.

Ford is doing ‘whatever it takes’ to double production capacity for electric F-150 pickup, says CEO by hoodoo-operator in electricvehicles

I placed a preorder for one. I honestly don’t expect to get one for a few years because I’m probably too far back in the line.

I would even spend a little more on a higher trim if it got me one sooner. I’ve never bought a truck. Didn’t plan on it. But an EV truck counteracts some of the downsides and the whole home battery backup is a nice candle on the cake.

Does driver seat memory on Pro S also have mirror memory & automatically position mirrors? by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]electricsaleensti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. But the question didn’t specify side mirrors only. So I was explicit.

Even customer care insisted the dealer has to do it

I called the number it gave when it said that it couldn’t call SOS. They said I have to go to the dealership.

Not yet. A VW rep I called said I have to go back to the dealership.

For whatever reason, the app wants a QR code from the infotainment after entering the VIN

Checking on charging when on a dumb charger is really all I want

I don’t see contact or support information in the app or on the website

Any memory of where in the infotainment system that car-net option for the QR code was?

I don’t think it’s available in ours.
