    eGolf for Long Commute?

    I have what sounds like a similar commute to yours. Straight commute is 47 miles each way (downhill on the way, uphill getting home), of which about 75% is on 65mph highway. I make a lot of detours and stops (I play Pokemon Go), so I usually end up about 10-20 miles above the 94-mile minimum...

    golf inventory

    This GFG appears to be about $2,000 cheaper than I bought mine for just a month ago. If I were still in the market, I would offer $22,500 for it and I bet dollars to doughnuts they'd take it. --Chris

    Tips for range on 2019 E Golf

    (edit: Sparklebeard beat me to a reply, and we seem to be on the same page, so I'm not changing anything, just adding my voice...) Welcome! What's the primary use of the e-Golf for you? Is it your primary mode of transportation? Do you have a commute? Long, short? Do you plan on...

    golf inventory

    I've been keeping an eye on the inventory of the three dealerships that are closest to me in south-central PA and central MD. They've only had a couple of SE's available for a little while now, but as of this past weekend, a couple of them picked up one SEL each. They're heavily discounted...

    Estimating Battery Degradation

    I'm going to throw this out there as the math nerd in me can't help himself. The method you all use for calculating battery degradation is, as some have pointed out, limited by the data that VW gives you. Every single datum you're using to calculate usable battery capacity only has two...

    Any surprises after switching to EV?

    Not weird, just douche-y. It's a protest. I see a lifted truck and my brain immediately thinks 'ah, fragile ego'. The world is changing on them ... becoming more cognizant of our impact on the environment, mostly ... and there's little they can do about it. But they can stick a finger in...

    e-Golf in Vroom commercial

    Kinda neat to see an e-Golf make a cameo in a commercial for Vroom, the used car delivery service (a smaller Carvana, I guess). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vTXP_CiZ10 --Chris

    Looking for recommendations for EV to use as commuter.

    How long is your commute, and do you have access to charging at work? Will the new commuter be used for anything other than commuting? Or do you have (or rent) an ICE for longer trips? Worth noting, the price of the newest (2019) e-Golfs can be negotiated down to the point where you're paying...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    In my old Jetta, I replaced the driver's sunshade with one from a Passat that had Homelink buttons ... and the added benefit of being able to pull the shade further back when it was deployed at the door. I also replaced the flip mirror with an autodimming mirror. It'll be nice to have both of...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Does the SEL's autodimming mirror happen to have Homelink buttons, too? --Chris

    What car did you give up to get your eGolf?

    I traded in my 2004 VW Jetta wagon 1.8t m/t with 230,000 and the original clutch. In the last 1,000 miles or so I got a horrid grinding sound from the driver-ish side of the engine bay; nothing wrong with the brakes, so I assumed it was something in the transmission failing. Between that and...

    Thoughts on 2019 Tesla Model 3 and effect on e-Golf pricing

    Just drove to work in my new white silver 2019 SE. MSRP of $33,575 / advertised price of $25,500 for what appears to be the universal option (Driver Assistance package) and the two profit items (cargo net and first aid kit). I went for a test drive and got (literally) the "what can I do to...
