EV general discussion

I've had an IX3 through work (salary sacrifice) for almost a year now. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying the EV experience. While a bit more range would be nice, I haven't encountered any major issues.

ID 7 has completely died today while my other half is out and about.

All displays off, but will go into gear. Obviously can’t drive without a speedometer

Getting out the car/locking/seatbelt doesn’t work.

Car is being collected by VW as haven’t been able to get it working other than a couple of warning lights.

What a mess that car is. I'd be throwing it back to them and walking away.

You really got a Friday afternoon car!

So unlucky all the issues you’ve had

I’m in the process of doing so but getting nowhere.

I’ll cancel the direct debit as a last resort, which I’m sure will get them moving.

Yeah, other half had just been for a massage/relaxation thing as well

Imagine she’s immediately stressed again!

TSLA stock taking a massive dump today.

Dropped 11% in 2 hours and still going down.

VW provided an MG something through enterprise.

Will remind them when I’m back from holiday tomorrow that we’re paying for an ID 7 and not a bargain basement product.

Don’t get me wrong, good that they’ve provided a car at short notice. Not acceptable providing a cheapo MG.

It’s around the level it was before the election, so some may see it as a correction.

It was approaching meme stock territory in December.

It’s still up 25% over the last year despite sales being pretty flat over the last couple of years.
