Nice to see that in many years time, even if you have an ID4 with broken AC it can still work well as an EV.

I had to travel 800km with a broken AC compressor with my Peugeot e-208 2 months ago. I was ready for some old Leaf experience! Lucky for me, the outside temperature was mostly 10-15°C and the coolant was apparently still circulating, so it was still cooling reasonably well even without the compressor. I managed to charge multiple times before it would rapidgate at 49°C, and that was only when I charged quite high (to 90%) for a longer leg. And I saw output power very limited when driving away, before gradually recovering couple of minutes later between 48-47°C. Even then, it managed to go down to 32°C when I reached the next charge stop and then heat up to 45°C only after charging to 80%. Proper summer would surely kill me with rapidgate, but this was actually working fine!

“Depress the brake” - Premium Dad joke 🎉😂

Hope you'll be able to do a 1000 km challenge driving the new Scenic E-tech, I'd like to see how good it is. And just because I am going to drive it from Fance to Arsvagen....

Nice to see 1000km challenge in daylight and sunny weather 😊

Impressive that it's on par with Model Y LR now - and I guess eGMP SUVs? But I have seen others test the new Id4 RWD and it didn’t have this new charging curve. Seems to have been reserved for the 4wd models..?

@alt572

On par with model Y only as long as the ID4 has the AC off :D

The tire pressure warning is due to warm weather. The pressure increase with heat so the system detects a change in pressure due to the circumference of the tires changing. If the tire pressure was set at like 0-10C and you drive at +20-25C in the sun the pressure will rise enough to trigger this due to heating of the rubber.

"you can get a GTX, ID.3 that is rear wheel drive, just to make the confusion complete" 😀😀😀

Some interesting improvements to the ID4. Would be very interested to see how this performs against the new Ford Explorer considering they are both build on new MEB and are similar size / class etc

Very interesting test. I must say, the performance of the car was still really good. I guess, they just changed from winter to summer tires and forgot to save the new pressure settings. I have this every time when I get my car from back from the dealership ;) Maybe the consumption was so low, because you had basically Tesla style tire pressure 😂

Google which is quite accurate didn't pick that route but chose the regular detour route where the accident was.

I'm impressed with how well the updated version did considering how heavy it is. I see this AWD has the 19 inch rims. Unfortunately in Canada you can only get 20 or 21 inch rims on the 2024 AWD!

That infotainment/software and charging speed are way better than the previous model. Good job VW! My 2023 ID4 only charges 135kW max and the software is very sluggish even with ID Software 3.5.

to those complaining: 1 - A/C can always break from one day to the next by a rodent destroying a pipe 2 - the tire pressure is measured by spinning differntiation between the wheels and is "calibrated" by hitting the reset button when all tires are cold and - more impotantly - at the same temperature. If someone using the car before Bjorn hit that reset when the tires were on different temperatures, e.g. left ones warmer than right ones due to sunshine, the system will give an alarm, once the temperatures are even again and the difference in rpm above the trigger (mixed in timing threshold also involved I guess - and steering angle of course), then the system will cause an alarm. It's not bad sensors, they've just been calibrated the wrong way. I've experienced that with my Octavia (I had 2009...2018). I had that false alarm aswell in rare cases (usually after tire changes or air refills and, I guess, resetting at the wrong point or forgetting to do so), it was somewhat annyoing indeed. Now I have my 2018 Ioniq with TPMS and indeed, I like that solution a lot better, also because I can see how far from having under- or over-inflated tires the car is. The ABS sensor approach VW uses saves money, also for the customer in case of repairs, but after long term comparison, I'd still prefer TPMS. But still, the ID.4's sensors are not defect, because otherwise it would mean an ABS and ESP/ESC/ASP malfunction - and that would certainly be displayed prominently.

VAG cars tyre senses react to pressure changes, so if they pumped them up before you got it then a warning a short time later isn’t unusual. Not the best system, but once you’ve reset it any further change would be loss of pressure.

Can you comment if the handling felt different compared to RWD?

You missed the iconic Tjörn Bridge Björn! Famous from the terrible accident ...

On a summer day my ID.3 hit heavy and aperently cold rain. All 4 Tyre sensors suddenly light up on the display and gave me a chok, nothing was wrong but I guess a sudden drop in pressure triggers the sensors

Let's just hope VW hasn't made the AC a subscription service 😂

Rang local VW garage again, they told me the air conditioner testing machine was busted and said to go to another VW garage (I wonder was the machine busted last summer as well 🤔) The other garage had a 2 week wait for appointments, so in the end I paid for an independent specialist to look at it. They found the leak in about 20 mins and had the whole thing fixed and regassed in just over an hour It cost me €250, but the issue is fixed now I'm seriously starting to question the value of car warranties when the main garages just don't fix anything.

Good thing is that if the gas goes out of the system it is a natural refrigerant. Actually it is CO2 (R744) and hence the heat pump is very efficient for heating process. However i am puzzled they have this issue. will follow it closely as I get mine this week or next. WV ID4 Style 4 Motion (Danish campaign version the Style I think) Was the filling of gas (CO2/R744) expensive?
