If all you are doing is driving it around town and charging it up every 2 or 3 days, doing 25 30 miles a day, I'd say it's fine. If you are hopping on any of the interstates like 40 or 35, and doing more that 15 or 20 miles daily driving like most Texans do, fast and furious with the AC...

Pretty much matches my experience, though I keep my speed max at 55. This was back in 2016, over 3 different trips. There was about a 18 to 19% buffer, in my results. Don't know what to attribute it to, other than better momentum conservation. I did very little regeneration with brakes or...

I realize the mentality of some electric car owners. They feel special, for sure. https://jalopnik.com/entitled-tesla-*******-parks-on-strangers-lawn-steals-1836730035

My only concern is that generally, German brand cars and cheap owners don't get along too well. Part area always expensive, for what you get. If you drive it nice and don't break anything, it's a good value. If you drive it enthusiastically ( almost all the members around here do) you will wear...

Some AZZhat must feel really special looking around here to find men to have sex with, too. I, of course, feel special being blocked. When you rely upon machines and programmers for anything, you are bound to feel violated by their agenda, and their ethics, or lack thereof. That includes...

Hanlee of Hilltop in Berkeley, I think had great pricing on '19 SE's in the 23.5k range a month or two ago. Might want to check them out, too.

I've bought 6 VW's new since 2012. In CA, NV, UT and CO. It was the phone call that I made, that made them earn my business. YMMV, can't say what dealerships are like in Nor CA, but the one in Berkeley, Hanley, I think, made me a really good offer on a 2019 SE in May, I believe. The one in San...

Follow mimura's advice. VW Customer Care is your best bet. July and August, and into September, at least where I live, VW dealerships and techs are flat out swamped and overloaded with repair work. Perhaps it just seems that many of their systems fail under the high heat or high humidity of...

Boy, I hear you on the Golf "R". The AWD on them really improves the removal of the understeer most FWD vehicles experience, with just a slight additional pressure on the throttle in turns. But then, it was a purpose built VW Golf with a specific mission, occasional tr ack days from a...

The replacement batteries will be the big mystery, as to where they source them out. It's an interesting thought, and would be a nice windfall, for sure. But it's pure speculation, the bigger battery pack... The 24.2k pack I have is just fine. My rate of loss has decreased significantly, so...

With everything I have read from VW, and my lone one size sample personal observations, everything F1 has posted has matched my experiences in almost 4 years of ownership. We haven't gotten to the point of 7 or 8 years in service e-Golfs yet, but I highly doubt VW will cover very many of these...

Get a trailer hitch and a bike rack on the back of the trailer hitch.

Aren't you special! LOL . You and a few others here need to dial back your hate diatribe.

In Oct of 2015, my 2015 SEL MSRP'd at 37,300. I negotiated down to 25,200, plus tax, license and registration. Just a FYI, take off another 7500 for fed tax credit, and 2500 CA rebate from the state.... $15,200. Part of the reduction was a special $2000 VW owner loyalty program in place at the...

I've seen the turtle 3 or 4 x. Each time was when reading the Owner's Manual, right after I bought the e-Golf. That's the only place I've seen it, and I hope it stays there. VW put's that red on the gauges for a reason, doesn't matter which VW you own, red means stop what you are doing...

I drive in D mode all the time. Only move the shifter to the left for D1 or D2 when needed for stoplights to time them so I can hit them on a green instead of coming to a complete stop, if at all possible, much like downshifting a manual transmission from 3 to 2. I then hold the shifter to the...

I would put it at probably about 190 to 195 miles, with where and how I drive. Of course i'd probably only try for 150 to 160 and keep the battery at least showing 1/4 left on the fuel gauge. YMMV, that's based on my 6.1 to 6.3 miles / kWh this time of year.

I bought my 2014 Passat TDI SE brand new from Emich. Absolutely the slimiest dealership around, I would never use them again after what they pulled after I'd flown in to pick up the car I bought. Avoid them, at all cost. A friend of mine that I've known for ever worked there as a service...

Will be very interested in seeing the results of that. In my experience, VW dealerships don't even respond to such inquiries. Have to put boot leather on the ground and make face time before they start working to earn your business, or make phone calls. Then follow up with emails.
