Interesting test. I understand that the sport mode is the most powerful, right? As for the autonomy range at 120km / h and 130km / h, is there much difference? thanks for the video

Nice beautiful Vw ID.3😊❤👌👍

Thank you. İ have a question. Which battery cooling system ID 3 has? Air cooling, liquid cooling(with water or Ethylene Glycoll)? Do you have any information?Take care

Do you have some content about the app and maybe the mobile key, to unlock the car with the phone? Also something about preclimate? Is this possible to climate the car with the app, when connected to the wallbox?

I'd love to see a 100-0 brake test too

I suppose that the battery has the may current it can deliver safely. If this is so, fully charged battery at optima temperature should be able to deliver a bit higher max power because of higher voltage. BTW, did you notice any wheel spin?

In sport mode the blue bar doesn't show full throttle at the beginning. I think it even can go faster with a wheel spin. :) The sport mode is more like comfort sport mode

Just discovered your channel, really interesting videos, thank you. Subscribed !. i was wandering have you ever driven the BMW i3? how does the driving experience compare ? it looks like very similar performance, and the ID3 is alot more practical and spacious, from the internet feedback it also looks like the VW is alot more stable on the highway .

SOC play big role, you should test with 100% and warm battery..

can you do some test from 80 to 120 and 100 to 160?

Could you do the same from 60 and 80 to 160 ? Oh and could you talk about the input lag/reaction time, like from the time you push the pedal at 60 and the cars stars pulling with full force, like input lag from a mouse or keyboard over bluetooth.

Will charge speeds (around 80%) increase if you are remotely climatising the car cabin, or the charging rates remain constant?

@BatteryLife

I don't know. I think the charging power from the charger remains the same. But the car is taking the power to heat and cool from the battery. Without charging and the home 2,3 kW plug, the car takes the plug to heat up the car.

The battery charge level does have a definite affect, because the voltage is down.

Yeah: 80 to 120 (or even better 60 -120) is when you're stuck behind a lorry on a winding German country road and you want to overtake, or when you're on the on-ramp of the Autobahn or if you're stuck behind a lorry and want to merge into the fastlane. So I would love to see more 60-120 and 80-120 times in car reviews. 0 to 100 is rather pointless to me.

If you want to properly measure acceleration you will have to buy a Dragy and find a perfectly flat spot, doing it like you did is too inaccurate… and you should charge the car to a 100%. While it may not display any limitation the car may reduce acceleration a little as battery levels drop, it’s barely noticeable, but you should keep that in mind.

I know you don't think acceleration is that important, but many do and will want to know. And regarding a flat area, the dragy will help you to find a good spot as it tells you the slope of the area where you did the test.

Well, if you drive normally on the autobahn, you get ~250km or range (in good weather) and it charges for ~1 hour afterwards.. If they would unlock 200km/h+ and you go that fast, it would probably have sub 150km range, so it basically takes more time to charge than you are driving... And yes it is very embarrassing, teslas battery in the model 3 SR+ is smaller, the car has more range and the battery can handle double the current (2x faster charging + more power draw). Furthermore tesla cells are made with less cobalt.

​@@vuduman3000 Yeah the interior / lacking software is another story.. The biggest disappointment in my opinion is the battery technology, as this is the limiting factor here.. The inverter to drive the motor doesn´t break the bank if you design it to handle double the power, same goes for the motor.. Probably the existing inverter / motor would handle higher currents easily for a limited amount of time (restricted by heat)... As long as you don´t run into magnetical limits with the permanent magnets in the motor, you can pretty much drive current through it as much as the battery voltage / internal resistance allows. Judging by the 125kW charging limit, either the cell chemistry can´t handle the high currents or the cooling system is way undersized... One thing i would be interested in: Internal battery pack resistance comparisons between the Model 3 SR+ and the ID.3.. I guess the ID.3 has a higher cell resistance..
