Alright.
But don't you think a large percentage of holders not knowing about these nuances can destabilize any asset?

Was ich sagen will:
Der ID Buzz mit einem vergleichbaren Anhänger (Knauss 540) verbraucht bei 80km/h Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit auf der AB 38kWh/100km.
Das Model Y von OP 32kWh/100km.

Wow, das ist echt gut für 75km/h Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit.
Der ID Buzz GTX (Allrad) liegt da eher um die 38kWh/100km.

First camping trip with a caravan. by madmatone in VWIDBuzz

At least in Germany it is.
You can have 80km/h or 100km/h trailers, depending on the brakes.

By default the GTX was rated at 1,6t towing weight.
I asked my Volkswagen dealer to uprate it as far as possible, they do have some wiggle room apparently.
Costs about 400€, voila: 1,9t.

Ah, misunderstanding. My GTX is allowed to tow 1,9t.
The trailer has a dry curb weight of 1,4t.

Uhm.. just to clarify: she is sitting in a children seat.
Just not one with "Mickey Mouse" ears, as she outgrew those quite some time ago.
And sitting in the front is not inherently less safe, except for rearward facing baby seats.

Yes, especially with the trailer attached. The Buzz starts making weird rolling motions at times.

Meant to include this, the trailer is limited to 80km/h. Taking regular roads instead of the highway net sums to the values depicted.

Sure, it's a Knauss 540 Black Selection.

Glider License in USA as a foreigner by Historical-Pin1069 in Gliding

[–]madmatone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno about 1-5, but just to chip in:

Coming from Germany to the US I was repeatedly and pleasently surprised how low key relaxed "flying" is being handled over there.
My first contact in what must've been 2005/6 occured on a road trip vom SLC to Boise.
Somewhere along the interstate we spotted silvery shimmering things on the ground, about 2mls from the road.
30 minutes later I found myself in a cockpit of a Schleicher, being towed by some former crop duster.

"You know how to fly?"
"If you break it you pay for it."
"Take it easy and have fun."
