    Park Assist - Perpendicular

    Hey Tripleardvark, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with Park Assist; literally NEVER seems to identify a (clearly) open perpendicular space :\

    Electrical system failure: Stop!

    Quick update: I got a rather formal'ish / official'ish email from VW Corp this past Wednesday, offering to either buy back or replace my e-Golf. I'm okay with the outcome, disappointed by the lack of urgency / importance suggested by VW's communications and pace. I'm still going to buy...

    Dangerous E-Golf Shut Downs

    Well, now this just happened to my 2019 eGolf (after owning it 5 weeks). I've searched this and other forums and haven't found any other posts that clearly mention this happening to newer (2017+) eGolfs. Am I just supremely unlucky?

    Electrical system failure: Stop!

    Well, y'all can add now a 2019 eGolf to this list <sigh>. More details in my reddit post.

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Heh, intriguing idea that, yes, had crossed my mind! I'd probably wanna get my PG&E rebate filed and back first, though, right? And what would this mean for the $7500 Fed tax credit? Hmm.

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    You're absolutely right. One of the well-documented amusing / infuriating things about human nature is that we tend to freak out about money from a perspective of percentages vs. absolute amounts. In my case, it was a choice between paying an effective (after taxes, rebates, credits) ~$16.5K...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    A belated thanks for the info! I did finally figure out how to fold the mirrors manually (takes quite a bit of pressure compared to my last car!). And re the 'upgrade'... that sounds like a reasonable cost, except that I'd need to pay the labor costs to have someone do this (I'm not...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Just bought the SE today. I had mistakenly understood that it had sensors that'd help me park (but only the SEL would actually park the car), and now getting in and out of my tight 1 car garage is a nail biting experience :\. I knew that it didn't have auto-folding mirrors, but (again, my bad)...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Ah, good to know about the gesture stuff, thanks! re the digital dashboard... is it possible to put the Android Auto stuff there, or only in the infotainment display? And -- I should know this -- but... does Android Auto require actually tethering the phone via USB or can it work while the...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Ah, Googling helps, I guess :) Just found this at least somewhat informative video on gestures :) (tl;dr: you can swipe your hand either to the right or left to navigate from screen to screen)

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Yeah, I hear ya re SE vs SEL. Most of the differences are meh for me, but two things stood out: parking assistance (I often have to squeeze into narrow spaces) and -- though I've not seen any real details yet -- the idea of gesture controls (I guess waving in the air?) to control stuff vs...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Interesting! Here's the quote I got from Sunnyvale VW on Mar 30: ...and that doesn't include the $800 PGE credit :) (or, unfortunately, the $395 Return fee)... so all in, it would have cost me about $4K total if I had pulled the trigger. At the time, I was still conflicted between the SE and...

    Thanks, CitiEGolf. Some odd overlap / duplicates in that chart, but still helpful!

    Thoughts on 2019 Tesla Model 3 and effect on e-Golf pricing

    Wow! I'm still leaning towards leasing, given my FOMO re future enhancements / advancements... but that's getting towards a pretty crazy low price!

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Ahhh! Thank you for the quick and very helpful reply! :) Dang... of the SEL, all I'd be sad about missing is the Park Distance Control / parking assistance. Shame that's not bundled with the Driver Assist Package. But wow, the lease price difference is *very* substantial. Here's the quote I...

    SE vs. SEL Premium differences

    Hi there, I'm strongly considering leasing an e-Golf here in California this week, but I'm really confused re the differences between the SE and SEL Premium versions. I spent a lot of time poring over VW's site, but that didn't help at all :(. I don't need stuff like super audio or heated...

    Thoughts on 2019 Tesla Model 3 and effect on e-Golf pricing

    I'm lookin' to upgrade from a 2007 Prius and get an ev for my first time! I was originally contemplating a Tesla, but... my commute is pretty short and after adding all the good stuff, a M3 starts to cost over $40K :\. In contrast... leasing a 2019 egolf looks to be a ton cheaper and very...
