According to their Facebook post, the ID.4 will be on display at Herzog-Meier VW in Beaverton this Saturday. No hours are mentioned but I'll give them a call tomorrow. No mention of reservations or RSVPs.
I was emailed about a reservation since that's the dealership my ID.4 will go through. All socially distanced 15 minute showings for individual customers.According to their Facebook post, the ID.4 will be on display at Herzog-Meier VW in Beaverton this Saturday.

Are you planning to go check it out? I would love to see more coverage here of what the ID.4 is like in the flesh.According to their Facebook post, the ID.4 will be on display at Herzog-Meier VW in Beaverton this Saturday.

Where is your dealership located? Are going to check it out?I was emailed about a reservation since that's the dealership my ID.4 will go through. All socially distanced 15 minute showings for individual customers.
If you get a look under the hood. Could you check to see if the 12v battery will just lift out, or will a brace need to be removed to get it out? TIAAs noted in the original post, the VW dealership is in Beaverton, which is basically West Portland, OR.
I have an appointment to go take a look at the ID.4. I'll report back on the experience.
That's a very specific request. I'll see what I can do.If you get a look under the hood. Could you check to see if the 12v battery will just lift out, or will a brace need to be removed to get it out? TIA
From the poor pictures I have seen 'under the hood', it looks like a structural bracket needs to be removed to pull the 12v battery out. I would rather not be removing a structural bracket for any reason. It is not a deal breaker, but just something I am curious about.That's a very specific request. I'll see what I can do.
Just because I'm curious, why is that important? Showing my lack of car guy cred here by not knowing why that would be significant.
Was able to attend an ID.4 demo in Seattle this afternoon and took a picture of engine bay. You have to remove a structural brace to get to the 12V battery. Not something you can quickly swap out that battery without socket set.If you get a look under the hood.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate the info/pic.Was able to attend an ID.4 demo in Seattle this afternoon and took a picture of engine bay. You have to remove a structural brace to get to the 12V battery. Not something you can quickly swap out that battery without socket set.
Wonder if it's to protect the heat pump as there seems to be extra space between the brace and front of ID.4 that was visible in the pre-prod demo unit.Thank you, I greatly appreciate the info/pic.
Hmmm, makes me wonder, the ID.3 doesn't seem to have that brace, what is different that the ID.4 needs it.
Looks like you were able to see a blue version. What did you think of it in person? It's the color I ordered on the 1st Ed and in some pics I like it (looks darker) and in some it looks a bit too "bright" for my taste.Was able to attend an ID.4 demo in Seattle this afternoon and took a picture of engine bay.

We were surprised the blue color of the Pro S Statement looked great in person. Caveat, it was showcased under a covered carport enclosed glass area so not sure if it'll be a "lot" brighter under sunny skies say like in SoCal compared to mostly cloudy skies in PNW. We are still waiting for Scale Silver Metallic pictures from FE owners but blue is now included in our color discussions.Looks like you were able to see a blue version.

Thanks for the photos. The blue does look nice.I also saw the car in Seattle, late in the afternoon. I thought the blue was just as I expected from the pictures and I really liked it, it was my choice. View attachment 1094 View attachment 1095
All US dealers, save Alaska and Hawaii (where it may be more), must, by law, charge the same destination fee. It's 100% non-negotiable.
- It sounds like the Beaverton VW is planning to have the $1,200 destination charge. Maybe a should have picked one of the VW dealerships located in a less fancy suburb of Portland if it turns out that charge is not universal to all dealerships.
It was definitely not an FE as the dash and door inserts were brown and the rest of the interior was grey and black. No white steering wheel, no trailer hitch, etc.Was this an FE or a Pro S as the side mirror caps appear to be blue color (body color) as the FE is supposed to have black side mirror caps. What color was the dash and door inserts?
Thanks
