Wow, that's interesting about B mode, that it charges the battery hard and fast which is not good for the battery. I will keep that in mind... What's your experience with D3? From what I can tell driving at night, it doesn't activate the break lights when I let off the accelerator, but it still...
Hello all,
I thought I'd share a bit of my driving strategy that has worked to provide a high level of efficiency/lower battery consumption.
I'm between 12-500ft above sea level during my commute, mostly flat roads with some hills, but nothing too steep for too long. Air temperature is...
Hi Joules, thanks for confirming that it's operating as designed. I've done a lot of google searching about how to change the default values myself, but they all revolve around buying VCDS and messing with adaptations. I suppose I could save up and buy a Hex-net or something. Or go and bother my...
When I put my car on the charger for a while, then unplug, the climate control resets to default 72f with the fan on. I do find that very annoying.
However, during vehicle startup and shutdown throughout daily use without charging, the climate control seems to remember the last used setting...
Thanks ckdavis,
Yes, I noticed that the open diagonal window configuration works well enough. I am still going to work on engineering something that can mount magnetically, so as to be removable. It'd be designed so that a person in the back seat can roll their window down all the way, even at...
Thanks RonDawg!
Yeah, you're probably right about the mileage and the shakedown test. Although my e-Golf was parked out by the street, whereas the second one was nicely lined up on the lot, so I still think someone from the public checked it out before me. ;)
Sad to hear about the buffeting...
Hey All!
I was able to buy a brand new 2018 e-Golf in the great falls green metallic coloration. I am one of roughly 10 people in all of California to have one that's new and in this color. It's an honor. It had 11 miles on it when I bought it because someone test drove it, then they went home...
That's alright, I don't have bubbles to burst! I'm a platonic solid! ;)
And yeah, I've heard from people who say there will not be any 2018s. My VW rep has assured me that our vehicles will be provided. I will certainly report back by December and confirm or refute your claim that no 2018...
Hello all. First time poster here. I'm registered at my local VW dealer in California for a 2018 e-Golf and the rep indicated he'll get some "buildable allocation" around December. I can't wait. He said I'm the #1 person out of 5 who have made reservation for an e-golf.
At any rate, I've...
