I'd just add, all e-Golfs came with an 8 year 100k mile warranty on the battery, so almost any e-Golf you buy will still be in that warranty period.

From what I understand the only difference between the e-Golf and a GTI/Golf is the drivetrain. Anything not related to the motor/batteries should be exactly the same.

Couple of questions, where is this located, and are you only selling locally? What is your asking price? Do you have the original window sticker or could you provide the VIN number to be able to verify the packages?

You'll probably see your GOM go up during the spring and fall where ambient temperatures are less extreme, and see a large dropoff in the winter and small dropoff in the summer due to the lower and warmer temperatures. Using the heater will drain your battery much faster than using the AC and...

Did you make the vinyl, or purchase a kit to apply?

I'd also recommend making sure you get a 2016 with the DC Fast charger equiped (option on the SE, and standard on the SEL). Even if you never use the DCFC, it upgrades your onboard charger from a 3.6 kW unit to a 7.2 meaning you'll charge twice as fast at a level 2 charger than if you didn't...

Glad to hear you got it all fixed!

So I had a similar rattle in my 2017 GTI, sounded like it was coming from the Passenger A-Frame. I took it all apart put in some tape, and tried to make sure everything was nice and snug, but still had the rattle. Turned out it was a pair of sunglasses in the sunglasses box up above the rear...

Looks like all the ID4 1st editions are all reserved already. That went really quick!

I mean I'd be more tempted if I didn't already have my E-golf. As is I was pretty impressed by the ID.4 reveal today. 83KWh battery in a car that's $39,995 MSRP is pretty impressive. Lots of cool gadgets and gizmos as well, and I thought it was a pretty nice looking car too. Not amazing, but...

Yeah I'm aware, I was merely referencing the Tiguan as it's the current Small SUV that the ID.4 is replacing. I can see how my OP would be confusing though. Here's hoping that I like it... Probably won't be putting down a $100 deposit though. I can't ever see myself pre-ordering a car. Gotta...

Here's a link to the YouTube stream if anyone else is interested. Since it's the only VW EV we are going to have on the market in the US for a while I figure I'd tune in to see what it's all about. Never been a big fan of the Tiguan platform, but we'll see. https://youtu.be/sgqgywj-kf0

Like F1 says, all it'll do is convert your 110v 15a socket to a 220v 7.5a but your wattage will remain constant. A 240v socket will be rated for 40 or 50 amps, so your wattage (which equals voltage times amperage) will be 9.6-12 kW. I don't think your converter will hurt (I imagine that it...

My dad and I did something similar with a 1970 datsun pickup. Although we used a forklift hydraulic motor from the junkyard and a set of army surplus ni-cads. Much less range than your lead acid's, but still a lot of fun :). I like my E-Golf way better... Haha!

I think dealers are seeing 2016 car with low miles, must be worth big dollars, and don't realize how cheap you can get these cars brand new vs the MSRP.

Wish I was in San Francisco! Curious, did you get the GTI seats from a junkyard? I've been considering doing something similar with my E-Golf (I love the plaid GTI seats :mrgreen: )

I don't know if you've already considered this, but your E-golf does lock your charger into place at the port, unlike other EV's, so I don't think anyone could steal your EVSE (without breaking your car). Your extension cord I suppose could get snatched up.

Other than the fabric/stitching I think the ICE Golf and the E-Golf have the exact same seats.

Up to 44500 on my 2016 SE. Bought it last June at 29k miles, have a 40 mile round trip commute that was putting a lot of miles on it quick. Not so much anymore with office closed due to COVID-19.

Huh, I'm really surprised to read these opinions. Between my '17 GTI and my '16 e-golf, I found there to be little to negligible difference in handling, and actually preferring the ride to the '16 e-golf (even with the stock 16" Ecopias) because of the torque off the line and acceleration in...
