So I was reading about the ID.4 warranty on the VW website and found the following sentence, which follows the general description of the 8- and 4-year warranties, interesting:
"Plus, you’ll get two years/20,000 miles of Scheduled Carefree Maintenance5, and with three years/36,000 miles of Roadside Assistance6, your out-of-charge vehicle can be towed to the nearest Electrify America station free of charge."
I was glad to learn there's a solution if you run out of charge, but what does the free maintenance cover exactly? The fine print clarifies that it doesn't cover tire rotations, so that's out. Obviously no oil changes, either. And I wouldn't think you'd be due for coolant or brake fluid changes before 20,000 miles, but I could be wrong. I haven't found the maintenance schedule online yet. Does anyone know what maintenance is required for the ID.4 in the first 20,000 miles/2 years? Maybe a cabin air filter? Just struck me as kind of funny that they'd be highlighted the free maintenance for this vehicle. Two years of free maintenance on an ICE VW would cover two oil changes per the manual, and not much else. On an EV, I have no idea what it would cover.
