CarNet certainly makes it easier, but CarNet only works in the States, unfortunately; there is no equivalent in Canada. Let's hope VW Canada signs an agreement with Rogers/Bell/Telus/whoever for LTE support so that CarNet can work on future I.D. EV models!

How funny—the English and the Spanish names of that Benjamin Moore paint color try to conjure up some poetic visuals to evoke the right gray color (“Cape May Cobblestone”). The French translation, by contrast, is brutally honest: “Mouse Gray.” Come to.think of it, that describes the cloth...

Congratulations on the Model 3 finally arriving, miimura! I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on how you like it and how it behaves, etc. The Ioniq Electric is super, super efficient—my husband has one, and often has miles-per-kWh readings in the 5s. The guessometer shows estimated...

Inventory on the 2017 models in the U.S. has been steadily dropping over the past month or so; as of right now, there are only 100 new e-Golfs listed on cars.com (last fall and the beginning of this year regularly saw nationwide inventory in the 300-make-up range). This makes me think that we...

If this were Jalopnik, I’d give you a “Comment of the Day” award. LOL! :lol:

Apologies—i thought I saw someone mention it on the e-Golf Facebook group. A quick check of the e-Golf configurator at vw.ca reveals that leatherette is still an extra-cost option.

From everything that I've read, Canada will get the 2018 models sometime this spring; the only difference from the 2017 models is that leatherette will be standard instead of optional. As for the U.S., who knows? Maybe they’ll continue their year-behind strategy and release the 2018s sometime...

That is strange—you’re right, the LE model has disappeared from the website. I thought that maybe the trim level was simply not in the first batch of cars made for the U.S., in much the same way that you can’t find the Great Falls Green color in current 2017 stock, even though it does show up on...

Nobody has seen Great Falls Green on a dealer's lot yet in the U.S. (is that going to be late availability,too?) but I had a feeling it was the same thing as the Peacock Green colour up in Canada. Why the U.S. VW folks felt it necessary to change the name of the green color mystifies me... but...

Who knows when the DAP will show up in the U.S.; Joules may very well be right, although those models could very well arrive sooner. For instance, Canada started selling the 2017 e-Golf in June, and models with DAP just started showing up at dealers up there this month. (Wolfsburg only started...

Nice to see the O.C. dealerships getting them, finally. I at least want to look at them first (and decide whether I like or don’t like that new green color and the Atlantic instead of Pacific Blue), though I think I’ll wait a while for more incentives to come down the pike, as miimura suggested...

Thanks for comparing the various trim levels and options, miimura—that was very helpful. I wonder how the U.S. e-Golf will be perceived, value-wise, against similar competitors like the (almost nonexistent) Hyundai Ioniq EV and next year’s 2018 Nissan Leaf (not to mention the Bolt), given the...

At long last, the U.S. VW site has been updated with the 2017 e-Golf details: http://www.vw.com/models/e-golf The colors pretty much mirror the Canadian standard colors, except for “Great Falls Green Metallic,” which for all I know looks to be the same thing as “Peacock Green Metallic” on the...

The digital dash is part of the Driver’s Assistance Package, which is listed as “late availability.” This was not available on vehicles made prior to July 2017. Since rumor has it that the first batch of 2017s to make it to U.S. dealers this week have been sitting in port since April, it may be...

Interesting—I was not aware that some dealers just don't report to cars.com. I wondered how that site gets its statistics. I’m amused that of the two California dealers that show up as having 2017s in stock on cars.com tonight (Capitol in San Jose and Roseville in, well, Roseville), the models...

As of the end of the day on Sunday, cars.com is showing 48 new e-Golfs in inventory—only three remain in Southern California, at the Santa Monica dealership. Stevens Creek in San Jose seems to have the lion’s share in the Bay Area, with 24 in stock. Let’s hope the remaining get sold soon. (I...

Yes, the 2017 is the new, refreshed model with the 35.5 kWh battery, resulting in a 125 mile/201 km range (per the EPA/Natural Resources Canada). It’s been on sale in Canada since June; forbin404 reported in another post in the e-Golf News section that Southern California dealers should be...

Texas, eh? Unlikely, of course, as they’re not a CARB state. But I suppose the secret lair of 2016 e-Golfs has to come from somewhere! A few weeks ago there were only around 100 in nationwide inventory, and now there are 343. Considering the fire-sale prices, it looks like VW is providing...

True—good point. But I thought New York was a CARB state, too, and so wouldn't they have ZEV credits to add to the total?

The inventory is up to 280 cars tonight. When will it stop going up? :o ;) (Interesting how most of the inventory is in the Bay Area, then Southern California, then a few up in Oregon, and only two left on the East Coast.)
