    End of lease: next steps

    My 2016 e-Golf SE lease is up in October; about 10K miles on it and 100 mile range typically. Got a Model 3 for longer trips but I think its worth buying out the lease at $12K to keep as local car. Anything I'm missing?

    Delayed Charging question

    Make sure to set Min Charge to 10% on the Carnet website (carnet.vw.com); bottom of the REMOTE page. This setting is not available on the app. Mine was at 100%, so would start charging immediately regardless of off peak or departure time settings. Logic is IF Current Charge state is < Min Charge...

    Safety Recall 93B4 2015-2016 e-Golf Unexpected Shutdown

    My 2016 SE leased Oct 2015 is affected - checked VIN on the website, brought in today and had the software update done - took about 1,5 hrs. It may get busy if all e-golfs are at risk, so best to check before the letters get mailed.

    Departure time is ignored and starts charging immediately

    That's the way it should work, but for me (and others) it would always start charging immediately regardless of departure time or off-peak setting, with regular daily schedule setting on. Only with one-time setting, and then turning off the charging after plugging in (with delay clock...

    Departure time is ignored and starts charging immediately

    I've tried every other suggestion on getting delayed charging to work (save 12V disconnect) with no luck; tried the one-time w departure set at 7 am and it also started charging immediately. I then turned charging off via the app - charging stopped, app said ready to charge, and the indicator...

    Departure time is ignored and starts charging immediately

    I disabled auto lock in settings and I think the doors remain unlocked, but I will recheck all tonight to see if this approach works for me.

    Freeway or surface streets?

    Pick the route you 'enjoy' most; difference in terms of cost is nominal - maybe 25 cents a day. You'll waste more time and money charging free at Voyageur for mediocre coffee. I have a similar commute (N Los Altos to Menlo Park) and let google maps dictate the fastest route in case of non...

    coolant leak

    Looked in the engine compartment of my 2016 e-golf the other day and noticed pink coolant on the bottom of the compartment. Took in today and the tech says it's leaking from the on board charger box. Normally wouldn't have noticed this for quite a while since the coolant would not be present...

    New SE owner

    It even gets better. Basically did the same deal w/o loyalty perk two weeks ago. 2016 SE is fun to drive, fast and comfortable. Not an ugly leaf or prius. Car pool lane stickers arrived yesterday. $2 less per toll at Golden Gate Bridge. At my 20 miles a day average, the PG&E bill actually...
