There is no actual preconditioning for charging. The car will heat the battery just little bit along the AC but there is no preconditioning to warm up the battery either manually or with navigation to charging point. None of the MEB plaftorm cars have it except latest ID7 and I think ID Buzz. Lates...

It might be that the latch has broken since there is a active recall on those and mine was also snapped and I had to use tools to reach the mechanism to open it.

Would I get another Born? I’ve had the car for about 6 weeks now and the positives are, it looks great, it’s a really nice drive, it’s spacious inside. Negatives are, in the current UK cold snap where it’s currently between 4 degrees C to -1 in London, I’m getting around 2m/kWh. The DC charge rate ...

Hi all, I noticed that there is a setting that enables the heated steering wheel to heat up when you start the car when "below a certain temperature". Does anyone know what this "certain temperature" is? Honestly, how are VAG allowed to release such poorly defined parameters lol...

Bjorn's video is not "middle of winter". The video was posted at the 18th of march 2022 and outside temp is just barely -2 in that video there is no snow. Even currently there in Oslo is -9. And that car was with version 2.x which did heat battery more but VAG reduced the battery heating t...

You totally missed the point of this thread. I gave my reasoning why I am not buying a Born "again" and told you why but you are arguing against that how you have seen things at your side. Like that would change someone elses opinion? Good for you that you have gotten good charging speeds ...

It's highly dependent on the location. Where I live, it's currently -3c so winter has not set in, but currently with 10% or less SOC and 150-300Kw chargers I get most 50kwh while people with Tesla, Mach-E, Kia etc. go to charger with preconditioning and they take it as fast as in the summer. The be...

I would not. The battery preconditioning is an issue which is relevant to where I live and my charging options. I still don't get this - every single comprehensive technical breakdown I've read that examines the possibility of preheating on this platform shows that any time saved by preheating the ...

I would not. The battery preconditioning is an issue which is relevant to where I live and my charging options. What's the issue? Preconditioning works perfectly fine here. There is no actual preconditioning for charging. The car will heat the battery just little bit along the AC but there is no pr...
