Thanks for the info, cctop.

Re-igniting an old topic. How much are people paying these days for the excess wear and tear protection? As noted above, in 2016, I paid $500 for it. Today, at Sonnen, after a very amicable conversation where the dealer was more than happy to match Sunnyvale's SE advertised lease pricing, came...

I replaced by iPhone 6+ the other week and then when it was still trying to reconnect all of my iCloud data, it refused to fully load the Messages app. Lesson learned: the VW screen is more or less, just a screen - the brains of the operation are in the phone, and I'll let the phone fully...

Hi- I drive in from Marinwood and typically return home with about 1/3 of a charge left. I can't emphasize how important the 7.2 charger is for me: getting home and reaching a full charge in 2+ hours is a huge benefit. I realize the lease price on the SE can be tempting, but considering...
