I'm in the South SF Bay Area https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5911545507.html

I would like to thank all of you for your great input on this topic that *should* not even exist. I tried all of these things and couldn't get my delayed charging to work. What finally worked for me: Lowering the "minimum charge level" to 10%. Why the default setting is 100% is beyond me. For...

Doesn't sound good and it's not a common problem as far as I know. Part of the problem is that the dealers do not have many, if any, technicians who are familiar yet with our cars. Yes, when the car is released they will send one person, usually the shop foreman, to a training session on the...

Cutting?! No way, I wouldn't cut into my brand new car. And sitting higher is not necessarily a good thing. If it sits too high the PDC will sound off every time you put it into reverse, unless you don't have the bike rack installed of course. Look at my pics, the Curt is well stowed, it...

See my pics above.

So I found the roof mounted rack seemed to affect my aerodynamics and thus efficiency more than I anticipated. Unscientifically, I lost ~10% which isn't insignificant with our already limited range. I've gone with the Curt 11412 hitch / 1up USA bike rack combo. The only 'drawback' is that...

Good point. I didn't look. I'm still quite the newbie and learning the little nuances.

I have the SEL. And truth be told, I did not drive it conservatively as I was confident in the low miles to Los Altos. Lesson learned.

The affect of having four adults in the car is dramatic. I loaded the family into my fully charged machine and headed to dad's house for Thanksgiving dinner last night. Wife: Should we bring the charging cable? Me: Nope! We have 94 miles on the gage and dad's only 18 miles away. 18 miles later...

Interesting! I need to try this.

My eGolf is only two weeks old but I just checked this. I went out to the garage, car was unlocked and done charging, stood by the handle and pushed the unlock button twice. The first click woke the car up and the second one released the handle. I simply removed and stowed it. No opening of my...

Nearly zero :lol: Came with the car.

Takes the guess work out of when I'll be back :)

The one in the first post is mine: EGOLFIN Hoping it doesn't take "4-8 weeks"

BofA everywhere. Ping me if you head up!
