Volkswagen SAIC ID.4X (China) review

Battery % and auto hold indicators seem really useful, but the icons for battery and range are crowded and terrible. Two wins, two losses = 0 gain.

Probably a CCP thing. You can check how many points got lopped off your social credit score after you cut somebody off.

Is that CHAdeMO??

The software is making me think that although we're expecting some of the upcoming Euro-leaked SW features to come to the US, we might get an entirely unique feature-set for our market, and it may stay that way throughout the lifecycle.

Probably GB/T, which looks a lot like CHAdeMO. They are trying to come up with a harmonized standard between CHAdeMO and GB/T called Chaoji. No idea where they are in that process.

It is possible that they are getting slightly newer versions of some of the software that we already have. It will be clearer once we start to see OTA (or in VW parlance, ORU).

The illuminated rear logo is just about the only thing I like about the Chinese model. I don't like the body colored interior accents, the rim design, the headlight design, or the boxy black rear taillight housing when comparing these things to the US or European model.

Also, all that writing along the bottom of the trunk door looks horrible in my opinion.

Ooh, ooh, I want that! So much better than J1772! "I'm going to go chaoji my car."
