So the variant I experience is sometimes the timers all revert to 12:00 /no destination/ Monday. At least the charge profiles are there. Concurrently, carnet application shows on the remote tab "NULL" in large font over and over instead of data. I don't know if the car corrupts carnet or the...

Oh, I thought toggling the air recirc button turned on the fan. I'll have to try that.

The FCW is supposed to be a last ditch safety. I haven't seen the anomalies shared by others. My observation is the bright red warning light comes on but doesn't apply the brakes. There was an instance where I was 20 feet away at 20mph and I got the red light beep warning but no brake. Here's...

The sound is a sample of an internal combustion engine at rpm related to speed. Since modern engines are quiet, the sample is quiet and hard to hear, especially from inside the car. This sound has an enable button switch on at least European versions next to the shift lever just under the...

My understanding is that when you use regen with adaptive cruise control off, the braking is almost entirely from engine braking. But when you use ACC to automatically modulate speed to maintain distance interval, the software "blends" regen and disk braking to achieve the result.

Hi folks, this workaround is commonly available on all cars but it really helpful for EV's. Say you are in a max range regime and you really don't want to engage the climate control to preserve that range. In an autumn circumstance when its a nice sunny day and the outside temperature is in the...

I find the "guess-o-meter" in the car very accurate especially at the minimum charge end of things. With the iphone map projected on the screen, you can compare the actual miles to go with the guess-o-meter. I plan a 20 mile hedge on the guess-o-meter. Speaking of planning, a friend turned me...

I am using a Siemens basic 30amp wall charger that matches the 7200watt charger in my 2019 e-golf SE. "Basic" meaning not wifi version. I waited for it to come on sale at costco which happens every 6 months it seems for $360 which is ~$100 off. The fit is just fine. Maybe German engineered...
