This is helpful, thanks. I'm moving from MN where we had the opposite issue so this was not an issue I was aware of. This pushes me closer to the Bolt.

I'm moving across country, so I sold my 2016 eGolf in the Spring, with the idea of upgrading to a 2019 this summer when I reach my new home. But supply of 2019s is looking a little thin. a) Anybody have a 2019 they want to sell me in Central Texas? b) I heard somewhere that a wave 2019s...

I did a search for Kayak and got no hits. Has anybody put a kayak on the roof of their eGolf, and if so, how much of a hit to range did it make?

I got 3.2 miles/kWh yesterday in -6 F weather. All I had to do was not turn the heat on. Let's just say I'm really looking forward to getting a car with a heated steering wheel.

As someone considering the id4, I find it very reassuring that VW is honoring the warranty like this.

VW refilled the A/C system, included some dye, and said come back in 500 miles to see if it is indeed leaking. They also said that the first garage may have created the leaks they observed by overfilling. He said something about eGolfs being very unique in this regard, that you have to "flash...

23k miles. It hasn't spent much time in hot places. First 3 years of it's life in SF Bay Area (19k miles), and then I bought it in MN. So I suspect not much A/C use, though I did wonder if the cold winter could have done something. I called the dealer who sold it to me - it's a small...

Last year, I bought a used 2016 SE. A/C seemed to work fine. This summer, A/C was not working very well, so I took it to the mechanic. They said "pretty much every seal in the a/c system is leaking," and that the compressor is broken. He called the VW dealer about the compressor and they...

got it, makes sense. But then when I use carnet to pre-warm, it's going to have both the A/C and the heater on?

It's 30 degrees outside. I have my desired temp set to 72. I hit the "Auto" button. The A/C turns on. Why? When I'm in the car, this isn't an issue, but this morning I used carnet to turn on climate control before a drive. I hoped to get into a warm car, but when I got in, the AC was on...

Is anyone able to use the app to remotely activate climate control? I keep getting an error 510.

Update: I took the car to the dealer in the last week of the warranty. They replaced a vent. I drove home and the rattle was worse, so I took it back the next week, by which point the warranty had expired. They replaced "about $2k worth" of dashboard parts and it solved the problem. They...

The $.1 was just to make the math easy :) Looks like I actually pay about $.15/kWh all-in.

Rattling whenever I go over a bump in the road

I bought a used 2016 eGolf a few weeks ago, and am now hearing two sounds: 1) Squeaking coming from the wheels, early in a trip only, especially when I drive at slow speeds. Basically, when I pull out of my driveway, it squeaks; by the time I get to the gym, it's not squeaking anymore. Is...
