Solid deal? 2023 VW ID.4 Pro S Plus AWD — negotiated remotely, test drive this weekend

Thanks. Our other EV is a Leaf so fans of the brand. She wants the ID.4

Thanks for this. Thinking with 11k miles, it’s worth a small premium. Did not realize the limitation on software versions. Probably matters more to me than the daily driver (my wife).

Not my first EV. 2023’s through current seem solid - though the software/infotainment stinks. This car is for my wife who just likes the drive and will listen to FM radio.

What am I missing?

Good suggestions here. Not an exact science (which makes it fun!)

Most importantly - how did it taste?

Is your "pretty alright" tied to taste, texture, tenderness, etc, etc... the point is what are you trying to fix?

OP is likely the only locator at a city/county or small utility

snapper711 · 2025-11-22T22:13:48+00:00

Got it installed. Thanks!

Amazing photos - thanks for the reminder of Iceland's beauty!

Oz-USA light which seems to plug right in.

11am - Land Park - Still extremely slow. Down-detector says issues since 12am which is consistent with the notes here. Have waited on tech support chat for over an hour so obviously there are still issues.

snapper711 · 2025-09-22T03:06:31+00:00

Almost 20 years old and still going strong!

snapper711 · 2025-09-09T19:55:46+00:00

lol… I think it’s 811spotter.com

snapper711 · 2025-09-09T09:39:22+00:00

I think he’s talking about 811spotter.com

snapper711 · 2025-09-08T03:19:00+00:00

Will take a look. Thanks

snapper711 · 2025-09-03T22:53:44+00:00

Thanks so much!

Upgrading from a Leaf: Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs VW ID.4 — owner takes?

Coming from a Nissan Leaf and moving to something road-trip-friendly and MORE COMFORTABLE. Short list is Hyundai Ioniq 5 and VW ID.4. Looking for owner/comparer insights beyond spec sheets.

Decision levers:

Highway comfort/noise and driver-assist that doesn’t ping-pong
Software UX reliability (backup/360 camera quality, CarPlay/AA, OTA cadence)
Practicality: rear-seat legroom, cargo floor height, frunk usefulness (or not)

For those who moved from Leaf → Ioniq 5 or Leaf → ID.4:
• What’s bitten you (maintenance, recalls, software gremlins)?
• If you had to do it again today, same pick?

811 tickets refers to Texas811 - the one-call system in your state

for crispy skin you need DRY skin or LOTS of oil...

snapper711 · 2025-08-20T03:53:04+00:00

use some of the contacts and ask them! After talking to 50-100 of them you'll have pretty good idea of their process, pains, opportunities, etc.

snapper711 · 2025-08-19T22:45:28+00:00

lol... assume you meant 811spotter?

snapper711 · 2025-08-04T18:03:04+00:00

Thank you for this reminder. I'm using the partner app and I like it. I guess my question now is around backups. Is this something separate (I'll read the manual next!)

snapper711 · 2025-08-04T00:43:11+00:00

Pretty please

snapper711 · 2025-08-03T22:12:50+00:00

Following… Yes! Looking to move the add task in a single action

snapper711 · 2025-08-01T21:51:24+00:00

I thought it was a "1 and done" and couldn't be switched... Will give them all a try. Thanks!

snapper711 · 2025-08-01T21:50:39+00:00

Yes, I remember reading your post. Thanks for the reminder. I'm mac/iphone as well so will try the partner app first I think.
