The range topic never drops too far from people's minds.
This morning on an 80% charge I was showing 241 miles. Projected range at 100% 301 miles.
I know in reality if I hit the motorway that will not be the case but on local trips its a correct reflection. Never got the ID3 up to tgat level.

My ID3 left tge showroom down in Evesham on 304 miles and it rapidly descended from there as I embarked on my 245 milejourney home with it.

If it's showing around 300 mile on 100%/240 miles on 80%, you've driven it like a nun and if you carry on driving in the same way you'll manage that range. Seems strange we're all obsessed with efficiency, even when the miles are costing coppers on a home charge (I leave my driving data screen on a lot).

Included some dual carriage way at 60+. Not all Nun but some Nun maybe. I like to keep the range topic fresh. Positive impressions help I think when people weigh up whether to get a BEV. There are always some horror stories out there.

Monkey Hanger why do you put the spec of your car and wife's car on every post ? I appreciate you are excited like all of us but please NO. Just tell us about the car as it looks like showing off, not very British mate.

Not sure what your point is, but I've taken it into consideration.

So you front up here as a new member and almost immediately start insulting existing members, telling them what they can and cannot do and saying in a subsequent post that they are "not cool". That's some attitude.
In many vehicle-specific forums members enter their vehicle details in their stored signature. I've seen and done this in Golf GTi and Golf R forums. If members have questions about specific models, options upgrades or variants then they can see which other members may have experience of the issues and can give valid replies.
So please YES as it is useful information for the rest of us.
I hadn't included my spec yet as the car hasn't been delivered, but just to please you and I have now added the details for the benefit of others. You are of course, perfectly free to ignore it.

It is handy to see who's got what, we're all interested - if someone has queries or ussues with their park assist, it would be handy to identify another user with L-Tech pack to ask them, or someone thinking about going the E-Boost route, might identify me as having one and ask what the differences are from the 204ps variant, or ask someone with a certain colour what it's like in differing lights.
