The regen and friction brakes have to blend together. Regen works very well the faster you’re going, but it’s worthless at low speeds and cannot stop the vehicle. It’s possible you experienced the blending not working well, so the regen started to fade as you slowed down but the car misjudged...

Guess-o-meter range is heavily influenced by drive style. If they just drove fast up the freeway before parking and charging you’ll see very low range at 100%, if you’ve been coasting around local streets all week hypermiling it’s going to show very high range. 73 is rather short unless the car...

So, the SEL Discover Pro infotainments (both 8" Mk7 SEL and 9.2" Mk7.5 SEL) have the right hardware support for wireless CarPlay (wifi and the correct bluetooth), but VW did not implement it in software, and it appears that trying to activate it via OBD tools is not possible. However, it was...

Just got home from work and managed 7.1mi/kWh. Assuming 33kWh usable battery, that's over 230mi! The GoM hasn't caught up to that yet, probably because it knows that literally nobody except perhaps JoulesThief would want to drive 230mi at the pace required to get there in an e-Golf. I was...

Ok actually it’s San Jose to Burbank, but that doesn’t sound as cute. I am planning to bring the Handsome Boy 1.1 down to SoCal on vacation some time this summer to see friends. I know the e-Golf isn’t exactly the most well suited vehicle for this but I would like the adventure. I’d love...

Hi folks, The plastic handle on my 2016 drivers seat slider adjustment lever has been damaged since before I got the car and I have received the replacement plastic piece to repair it. Only problem is I can’t quite figure out how to remove the old part! It looks like it should just slide out...

I'm considering selling my 2016 for a 2019 SEL. The only reason I'm even considering it is that I'm under the impression that most of the trips I take that do push the range on my car would be easy in the newer model, but I'm looking for some experience from people who've made the switch. If...

Can I just take a moment here to appreciate with you all the beautiful fit and finish of our cars? This post serves literally no purpose other than to gush about these cars that we already love. I've been under some personal stress recently so I've been driving my commute with the radio off to...
