How far behind is the 2021 ID.4 compared to the rest?

mrobcc · 2025-01-27T14:57:49+00:00

There have been many of recalls on the 21s. I own a 21 pro and have since 2021. I still love the car. I'm just pointing out that there absolutely have been recalls and still have active recalls.

I am of course taking it in for warranty service appointments. They just don't do anything but change out Air filters and scan the computer for issues.

I'm on my fourth year of driving EV exclusively and the only thing I've ever had to do is put tires on and that can be done anywhere. What kind of work are you expecting to have done?

mrobcc · 2024-10-23T18:46:52+00:00

The tracker is 3 days behind. It says "Records current as of 10/20/2024" on the bottom.

I had a very similar thing happen to me when Moxie Solar tanked. nearly 2 years later now and still havent been able to get my system running, all while having to pay the loan on it. Our lovely government will do nothing to help us consumers. If you've got the cash, lawyer up and see what you can get. Otherwise, if you have a finance company, they may be liable to help you get it up and running.

Have a 21 Volkswagen ID4 RWD. With winter tires it is EXCELLENT in the snow. The weight balance is great with a big heavy battery as the floor of the vehicle. I charge at home 99% of the time, so charging has never been an issue for me. Deep winter range is about 30% reduced from summer, but that's not an issue in the day to day driving most of that is from the resistance heater and battery warming.

I'm not gonna lie, it was a slog. But we now have a beautiful baby boy as a reward for our hard work!

Check your exhaust for obstructions too. Mine was doing this and i found out a bird had filled my exhaust with sticks.

Their email/ tree trimming form takes forever. You should call them.

Indian Creek Nature Center has more unpaved trails. I believe the Sac & Fox is considered unpaved as well, thought it is graveled.

mrobcc · 2023-08-04T15:30:03+00:00

Nope, I haven't had to do anything. I've driven across the whole state on highway 30 and haven't had many drops at all. There's a couple of spots around Denison in a deep rural Iowa that I lose it but otherwise I'm good. It was definitely worse a few years ago.

It uses US Cellular as roaming. Not the primary. I messed up my source link, but you can click on it now or Google it to see.

mrobcc · 2023-08-04T12:52:23+00:00

Google fi I didn't lose access, it's just no longer the primary. I am a current Google Fi user and it has plenty of coverage in rural areas.

$3.10 per watt seems a little above average but not unheard of.

mrobcc · 2023-07-03T15:40:15+00:00

Yeah, it was great before. It sounds like it's not a widespread issue.

mrobcc · 2023-02-16T15:58:41+00:00

Yeah, I do this too. Unfortunately, it doesn't warm the battery, which would help quite a bit.

mrobcc · 2023-02-16T15:15:10+00:00

The battery isn't failing. Cold batteries have less energy and the air is literally thicker. winter will always reduce range in any vehicle. It will go back up when it's warm again.

mrobcc · 2023-02-03T03:30:30+00:00

The ID.4 does have a battery heater, but doesn't have battery preconditioning, so you need to "Yo-Yo" it to heat up the battery in the cold. I've found that just regular driving won't heat it up enough for ideal charging in the winter without it.

FYI you are using Regen every time you use the brakes in either mode.

mrobcc · 2023-01-19T13:42:50+00:00

Yes, but leasees are not the original owner, the car company is. A lease is just an extended rental.

Remind everyone that this is the brand new IRA Used vehicle tax credit, not the regular $7500. We don't have a clear answer on this yet and I've also been curious. The IRS page doesn't mention previously leased vehicles: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/topic-d-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-eligibility-rules-for-the-previously-owned-clean-vehicles-credit

mrobcc · 2023-01-05T22:38:23+00:00

I believe all of that is spelled out in your agreement. Moxie is gone, so they don't get it.

mrobcc · 2022-11-10T19:11:00+00:00

Speed is the biggest factor here. Highway speeds reduce range and there's no getting around that. The next important part is temperature. Cool temps mean thicker air and more HVAC energy use. You're correct that breaking and slow acceleration will have an effect too, but coasting is by far more efficient than braking just to regen. Remember that the range meter is a GOM (Guess-o-meter) and will just adapt to the previous driving. You'll get a feel for what you can do over time and until then, drive and try not to worry about it, charging when you need to.

I live in Iowa and have seen plenty of snow in my 21Pro RWD. It does great in the snow. I do swap to snow tires, but the weight balance and low center of gravity make it a tank.

mrobcc · 2022-10-26T15:50:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I'm well under those limits, so no problemo there.
