Similar to others experience here, I've found the car-net app to be virtually useless at best, and harmful at worst. I say harmful, because early on (I got my car mid-November), I tried using the delay charge feature several times and it would work some days and then not charge at all on others...

This string is a bit worrisome. I recently bought a Siemens Versicharge in an effort to get around the fact that Car-net delay charging is completely unreliable (one day it works, the next it doesn't at all) and can't be set to start right at 11pm when off peak starts. I hope that there is not...

I haven't had anything like this. What is "EPC" light?

I went with Siemens too, though haven't actually installed it yet. Reason I went with it rather than Clipper Creek or Bosch, was because it has buttons that allow you to delay the start of charging for 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours, which will let me set the car to start charging after the off-peak...

No bag with mine either. Doesn't really seem necessary though. Wrap the cord in the straps, tuck it in the trunk compartment under the main trunk space, and you're good to go.

That's a great review. I also like that he didn't throw in the standard, 80 mile range is too short, generic complaint that most of the car reviewers unnecessarily throw in. Instead he pointed out that there is plenty of battery to spare compared to what most people commute. He's right. It's a...

Some have definitely been going for more than 1k or 2k over. I know that Sonnen VW north of SF has sold a couple for ~$3K over. I know at least a couple other Bay Area dealers were unwilling to go below $2.5K over asking and some were asking for more than that as of a week ago. But, there are...

Ron - I agree that the e-up being on the market since last year and the 6 months of the e-golf sales w/o problems in Europe are helpful for suggesting that the car is made well without major flaws that are apparent at this point (i3 experience seems to be very different). However, I'm not sure...

I don't know if you can buy it from another dealer. If so, that gives more leverage in the negotiations. For the reasons both of you have listed, I'm thinking that I'll probably get an extended warranty too. I've read a bunch of articles (and some folks here) that talk about extended...

Wondering if folks think it makes sense to get an extended warranty from the dealer on the e-Golf. We bought the car and don't plan to sell for probably 10 years at least. Since it is a first model year car with a lot of electronics, a completely new electric drivetrain, and lots of other...

Paid MSRP in Bay Area. Lots of dealers here were selling for 3-4K above MSRP. If you want a better deal, wait 6 months or so, and I'd bet prices will come down with incentives, etc. I didn't want to wait and am loving the car so far!
