Hi everybody, I'm a relatively longtime lurker who just joined. Yesterday I traded in my 2018 A3 e-tron for a 2021 ID.4 that my local dealer seems to have gotten in unsold, along with their black demo.
The acquisition experience went great, with a bit of a learning curve since this is the first ID.4 my dealer has sold. I'm navigating my way through charging and the Carnet app, not to mention Electrify America. I have a short 4 mile commute and I go home for lunch so I only put about 16 miles on per day, while level 1 charging at home for 13+ hr/night and level 1 at work for 8 hr/day so that should be sufficient. It would be nice to have a level 2 charger at work for this and other future vehicles, so we are still investigating what would work best especially with our 208V 3-phase.
As my username indicates I work for Ross-Tech and we plan to explore how much we can find out about these vehicles, and maybe get a hint of what upcoming models may contain. Currently VCDS works fine for scanning all modules, reading fault codes, live data, etc (using 21.3 or newer with a HEX-NET or HEX-V2) but many changes to control modules require SFD, which currently means using the factory scan tool with a connection to the factory headquarters.
Admins/Moderators, please let me know if my presence here is ok, I don't want to step on any toes as far as vendor accounts, etc.
