This is a bit of navel gazing as I’ve now had my id.4 for just over a month. We’ve only managed a mere 350 miles. While we’ve had the car it’s been enjoyable. Prior to pickup I had an l2 installed at home, since I live in a fast charger black hole. We had a major issue in the first week, and It spend the entire month of July at the dealer being serviced. It was pretty disappointing. The loaner wasn’t the id.4 I purchased, and has really left me concerned about the longevity of this purchase. Any other new EV owners out their learning the ropes? I’ve yet to take my first big road trip in it because it was broken :(.
How’s the steering wheel buttons? I hear those are kind of controversial with the ID4
The 24 has some updates that prior years don’t have. So far I don’t mind them. I’m really still adjusting to the car and trying to get it set to my liking. Lots of little things which are odd. So much light in the cabin at night.
The UI is still really distracting while driving in general. In my old car, I could defrost, or dial the radio with out looking, I could adjust heat direction or put on defogger without thought. This is far more attention requiring.
But, I like the car. Far from perfect, but light years more advanced than the 15 year old sti it replaced. Faster too.
