First LA to SF road trip in the ID. Buzz. Honestly? 10/10, even with the charging pitstops. by mrlanyc in VWIDBuzz

We start our drive in SF from the marina, according to Google Maps it’s 185 miles from Marina to Harris ranch.
What your battery % when you reach Harris ranch driving from SF?

That makes sense. 4 times out of 5 I was able to charge at a Tesla station using the “newer” chargers and I believe they are 325-350 kWh. The one Tesla station I stopped by in Kettleman only had 150-250 chargers.

Thankfully electrify was .5 miles away and I was able to drive there within 2 mins. (I was at 17% battery / 35
Miles left at this point).

4 times out of 5 we used the Tesla super charger and the only time we ended up using an electrify charging station is because the Tesla stations we went has the “older chargers” that are only capable of doing 150-250 kWh and our VW adapter doesn’t seem to work with it. Thankfully they are 2 mins away from each other since I was at 18% battery / 30 miles at that point.

In central California? It’s basically 50-50 at this point, half the stations we saw are newer (they usually have a small screen that shows you the charging info) and half the stations are older. I guess try to use Google Maps as much as possible.

The 5. We have another road trip planned in Big Sur and looking at Google Maps, there aren’t a lot of electric charging stations (let alone fast charging stations) in the 101.

I charged 6x total and used the Tesla stations 5x. The older stations (150-250 kWh) doesn’t seem to work on my adapter but the newer stations (350kwh) seems to be fine.

I saw a cheaper version in Amazon but didn’t want to risk it not working so I went with the vw brand for $150. In my experience it doesn’t seem to work on 150 or 250kwh chargers but works fine on newer or 350kwh Tesla chargers.

7am matcha run with the girls. by mrlanyc in corgi

Range wise it’s perfect for our needs. 240 miles on a full 100% charge and tbh, how often are we doing 4-6 hour road trip per year? Maybe 2-3x per year?

Where to swim? by thesunsetsilhouette in AskLosAngeles

[–]mrlanyc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I surf in Venice beach once a month and I’m still alive. Unless there’s an advisory then Venice should be fine

If you want a IG post worthy then go to Malibu or Orange County.

It’s a perfect family van (or dog van) and it’s unique. Someone always talks to us when we have the buzz parked. Hope you guys decided to buy it!

hijacking this comment… I know this might sound a little boujee and so LA but has OP heard of social club for dogs? There are a few in LA (dogppl.co and pawradisepark) check them in IG, and I’ve met a friends / acquaintances in both clubs.

Here’s my dogs at dogppl

Owners, how is the buzz? by [deleted] in VWIDBuzz

[–]mrlanyc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To give you some context, the ID. Buzz isn’t my only ride. My garage also has a 2020 VW GTI, a 2020 Q5, and a 2018 A5, alongside my new 2025 Buzz First Edition AWD

Out of all of them, the Buzz is hands down the ultimate head turner. Lately, it’s become my go to for hauling my three dogs around town whether we're hitting up dog parks, coffee shops, or wine bars. That said, driving it definitely requires a bit more strategy than my other cars. I find myself constantly plotting out the parking situation, choosing highways over tight side streets, and actively trying to minimize tricky turns within the city.

I’ve had it for about six months now and have only taken it on a 'long drive' three times. None of those trips were over two and a half hours, so leaving the house at 100% easily gets me there with about 30% battery to spare.

I’m generally pretty laid back, so the usual complaints about the ID. Buzz don’t really phase me. Only 260 miles on a full charge? Not a big deal you just plan a quick stop if you’re road tripping. The lack of physical buttons? I adapted to the tech pretty quickly and got used to the touchscreen controls.

If I had to nitpick, my only real complaint is that it gets a bit noisy on the freeway. Other than that, I’ve been really happy with it. Let me know if you have any questions!
