    2019s coming off leases?

    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...

    Kayak on a roof rack

    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?

    Air conditioner leaks

    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...

    Really basic climate control question

    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...

    Cost of L1 charging at home

    Say my utility company charges me $.1 for every kwH. If I charge my eGolf overnight to 80%, putting (say) 10kwH into the battery, is that costing me .1 * 10 = $1? Or is there loss due to inefficiency, so that it's costing me more? Obviously these are small potatoes either way, just curious.

    Storing the charging cable

    Perhaps silly question, but is there anything special about storing the cable in the boot, or can I store it on the shelf in my garage if I know I won’t need it?

    Buying a 2016 e golf: is CPO worth it?

    I’m looking at 2016 e golfs in the Twin Cities, and there are a few that are CPO and a few that aren’t. There seems to be about a $800 premium for the CPO. Do you think it’s worth it? Here’s an example of one that is NOT CPO, and rated a Good Deal by Car Gurus...
