Just like it says. I’m a territory sales rep covering about region in the Midwest. My furthest one way drive is about 150 miles. I bought my ID.4 to be my daily driver. The company reimburses me 0.56 per mile. Here are my impressions having lived with the ID.4 for many miles and trips.

- This car was made for my kind of work. It’s quiet, comfortable, and exciting enough to break up the long stretches of cornfields you get here in the Midwest. I can make most of my daily routes without having to stop to charge. If I need to charge, there are 2 EA chargers in my territory and one just outside it. I plug it in nightly, charge to 80% and head out. If I’m going to my furthest destination I fully charge. From 80% I get between 190-210 miles depending on how I drive, from 100% it normally is 240-270.

- Outside of the two recalls I’ve had zero issues. The car has performed well. Occasionally, the computer will throw out a phantom error that clears itself after the next drive. I’ve learned to live with the software bugs and touch sensitive controls so my frustration with them has lessened considerably.

- it is costing my about $0.03 per mile in electricity to drive (if I charge at home and not for free at EA).

I’ve found the ID.4 to be a great asset in my line of work. Obviously, I wish VW would push some needed bug fixes out as well as enable plug and go. I have the RWD First Edition and my territory includes Buffalo so I have ordered an AWD ID.4 and an AWD Mach-E so we’ll see which one cones in first.

It is good to hear of an ID.4 with that kind of mileage. I have over 10k and have also had software issues that fixed themselves.

I had 6200 on mine with little to no issues, a few codes were thrown but cleared right away, took it in for the 5k/60 day check up on Augusta 18th. To make a long story short, I still don’t have it back. They couldn’t clear the codes, couldn’t get the module to program and am now waiting for a third module to be ordered and put in, they did fix the recall, so I have been in a loaner car the last 3 weeks and maybe up to several more weeks. I miss my car. I guess the moral of the story is don’t take it in for the check up 😂😂😂

I think the plug and go wish rests with EA and not VW, but a nice wish nonetheless.

I used to travel for work at every opportunity they offered in my Model 3. It was a huge money maker. A nice loophole to exploit while the federal mileage rate is still tailored for gas vehicles.

Lucky you. Right now my ID4 is sitting in my garage refusing to go into gear for the umpteenth time. No error codes either. I had a 2 weeks of error free driving recently but that ended a few days ago and now it's back to moving when it wants to. I don't know what to do now since it can't even be towed since I can't get it into neutral. I've tried rebooting which used to work but so far it's not.
