I usually take my eGolf to work alone, but today it was decided that we take my eGolf with my wife and 3 kids to the park. Going into the park is a pretty decent (slightly oversized) speed bump with a slight uphill incline to enter the park, which was no problem going into the park. However...

This happened to me for the first time today.. reversed into parking spot, complete stop, foot on brake, put from R to P and thunk.. it was so obvious that I was like wtf was that! Still stopped, still foot on brake, put it back in R and then back in P, and thunk.. happened 3 times.. the fourth...

I will definitely get the alignment done when new tires are put on. I had been thinking that my alignment was good as this is the only car I've owned that I can take my hand off the wheel at any speed and it goes completely straight and never veers off in any direction. Any other car I've had...

Thank you for the tip! Do you think it would be best if I had the dealership rotate the tires back to where the 'choppy' back right tire is moved to the front again? It did make a vibration noise when slowing down to 20mph, that shouldn't cause any damage right? Do you think the choppyness...

They rotated the tires back and the noise is gone, but that back tire is just a little choppy which was making the noise when rotated to the front. I wonder if I should just have them rotate the back to the front again and deal with the noise - will the tire eventually even out and noise...

California. I made a huge mistake of not rotating the tires for 20k miles... I drive 600 miles every week, it kind of slipped my mind as the volume of miles came up so fast...

So I took my 2015 SEL into the dealership which is right next to me (convenient at least) and boy what an experience. First, the service tech there had never seen an eGolf come in for service. Believe me or not, he actually tried to tell me I'll need an oil change at the least for this service...

So my 2015 egolf sel with 42k miles is at 85% estimated battery capacity

But the charger said it added over 14kWh 🤔

I have a 58 mile commute to work, literally all freeway and maybe half a mile total of streets.. and that was the morning drive, the morning drive to work is only about an hour and traffic flies.. annnddd it's mostly downhill... Coming home, it takes about 2 hours, lots of stop n go on the same...

can anyone estimate my 2015 e-Golf SEL's battery capacity/degradation using this photo? Thank you! EDIT: to add more context, my charger just finished and stated it took 2.5 hours to charge 14.38kWh
