I've been experiencing random reboots of the infotainment system with increasing frequency lately. It used to maybe happen once every few weeks or month, but last week, it happened 3-4x during the week and during a 10 minutes drive, it happened 3x. Has anyone had that happen to them and if so...

Our 2016 SE had 18 miles estimated when we plugged in and charged to full in about 6.5 hours, adding 20kWh at a L2 Chargepoint station. (Assuming 5m/kWh, if it probably had 3+kWh usable left)

some anecdotal information from my wife's experience: she got 3 warnings. 18 miles, 10 miles, and 5 miles. In all 3 instances it said that functionality would be decreased, but was able to continue driving with no problems. 18 & 10, she was still on freeway and didn't notice a cap on max...

Completely agree with you miimura. Not sure if I just run into issues that are uncommon, so they don't put it in the manual or the manual is just incomplete. It doesn't give much confidence in looking things up in the manual when the first two times you run into a problem and look for the...

Thank you very much Verkehr. It worked for me. This is exactly what I needed and greatly appreciated!

Hi Joules, I tried to infotainment center option - sorry, forgot to include it in my list of things that I tried. Phone is not an option that I can unselect for that section, so that didn't help. In regards to your comment on ignoring the phone and driving, are you trying to say that I'm dumb...

I have a 2016 LE and I answered a phone call using the instrument cluster/wiper stalk today. problem is, I cannot get out of the phone display now. Here is what i've tried: RTFM - it was no help go through car configuration - reset instrument cluster go through phone config - nothing found to...

good idea. iPhone 6s, running iOS 9.2

I've been having some issues with the handsfree calling in my 2016 SE. around 75% of the time, the person on the other end cannot hear me and I have to resort to switching to the speakerphone on my phone. I can hear them fine, but my end is not going through for some reason. this happens with...

Thanks for the input all. And thanks Ron for combing through that manual and making it something useful :) I plan to try this out myself, but the experiences shared have definitely put my mind at ease. My wife may be driving the e-Golf to work some days and she has a 25mi/each way commute. I...

thanks all for the input - greatly appreciated. @joules, yes, I did read the manual - probably more than I've read for any of my other cars and it was really hard to find out information about the question I asked. Even when I did find the few references in the manual, it was unclear what...

I'm trying to find out what the different driving range states are. Unfortunately the manual and what i've looked up online so far hasn't been very definitive. Specifically, I'd like to know what happens when you reach certain remaining miles left on the battery. I just want to make sure that...

thanks all for the encouraging words - definitely makes me feel better about this lease, and so far, I really do love the car. as for charging, I'm looking into a level2 charger for home. We have a freezer/fridge outlet in the garage, so I think a chargepoint unit that plugs into the wall...

yes, total lease cost a little over 9k

eGolfs seem to be in short supply in the SF Bay Area. My local dealer (Dublin) didn't have any. Hayward had 1 or 2, so I went in and leased one there. Admittedly I think I was a bit eager since I wanted to get the $69/mo lease deal and the supply seemed to be pretty limited, so I didn't...

I don't have an egolf yet, but anticipate getting one very soon. I just read that the federal tax credit of 30% (up to $1000) for the installation of electric charge station at home was renewed...

thanks all for the confirmation. that makes sense. wanted to get an egolf to offset some taxes that we'll be paying this year, but didn't want to buy/finance. makes sense that you EITHER buy & get the federal tax credit or lease and get a cheaper base price. leasing seems like a great deal...

Interested in getting an e-Golf so I went into VW today. They were sold out but I talked to the sales rep about the lease plans. He said that you lose the tax credit ($7500) if you lease, but you still get a $2000 federal tax credit. I can't find anything on this. Did he mean state rebate...
