VW Id.3 First Edition Plus 58 kWh - The FIRST full range test at 90 km/h, 100-5% 

so you are alive good we were worried lol

So the base model 1st should get 432km based on ID-3-1ST-ProductGuide advertised 5km difference. 5 hrs motorway drive time. thats awesome.

@@paudieb Nope, he drove 427 instead of 421, so the final range was 450 instead of 444, the base ID.3 i'm certain that it will be able to drive even longer due to the lower size rims, perhaps even 10-20km longer or more.

@@EinzigfreierName You mean Google or the car’s odometer? I’d say Google as the maps must be precise in order to be used for GPS tracking and the car’s odometer distance is calculated using the rotation of the wheel and that has a small margin of error.

@@Gresteh i've never loved being wrong so much as now so ha ha. We have a base model on the way, so more range that is expected for me so. cheers.

So basically B mode is better for city traffic

Hence the licence plate ID3 01 ;-)

@@abraxastulammo9940 I think that's because it's a 1st edition

@@HolgerWittig Nope, it's because it's the first ID.3 that was delivered (at least officially, even if someone got it before him in wolfsburg and many others in dealerships that decided to disobey the release date). PA (Passau) ID 3 01(first delivered) E (because it's an electric vehicle)

Iñigo Zubieta Don’t be silly, this numbers and E is just good luck.

@@MarekZamarski Not luck, you can reserve a license plate number (excet of the first part here "PA")

Ich freue mich auch auf weitere ID3 videos von dir Chris

Thanks, videos are over 3 years old. Both done on the same day.

@@BatteryLife I expect that you did the 90km one before the 133 one and unfortunately I watched them in the wrong order. Ah well, I am now enjoying them very much. Thanks a lot, Keith

I think the center dash only shifts every 2%, while the bigger screen does 1% increments?

Thank you. Yes it will be impacted.

Agree. Good efficiency and range considering the price

White interiors are annoying to clean though, and they start discoloring sooner or later

The car also sells with a 77 kWh battery, so you get around 33% additional range, or close the that summer range in heavy winter.

@@Psi-Storm That one is a 4 seater though

@@Psi-Storm Now your talking. Its the 25% to 30% reduction in winter range that most worries me. Will keep an eye on the 77. Thanks

Larger battery packs can't really be more efficient than smaller one since it has to pull the extra weight of the larger battery pack. It can easily be 150-200kg extra weight.

Are you sure? Model3 should be more efficient.

@@BatteryLife Thought it did 135 Wh/km. Would have to watch the video again to be 100% sure, but I am quite sure. Also the Model 3 did not manage to get it's WLTP range at 90 kph. Did you already publish the 130 kph test?

@@martijnfranke2809 Bjorn N also got 127 from Kona 64 in similar temps at 90kph so ID3 is definitely at the top of the efficiency tree. I think it could match Kona at lower spec level with smaller wheels. Maybe the Koreans are not magicians after all ;-)

@@Macmonkey1000 The Kona is indeed very efficient at low speeds. From rumours I heard, the ID3 beats it at higher speeds, but I'm curious for the video. I was impressed by the charging speed of the ID3 at 'almost full'. That seams to indicate there is quite some top-buffer in the battery, which also helps longevity.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck in the future.

Danke

130km/h test following.

He will never do a Test at 120 KMH simply because probably it will be very hard to even get a 300 KM range.

@@sat7755 I've just found another video testing at 130Km/h ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ctMKfXe_gwM.html It looks like it would be around 300Km range at 120Km/h.

Just flood VW with your wish and spread the word. They could make it happen, especially when all the factory's around the world are ready to go. For now, only Zwickau(Germany) produces ID.3.

Agree with comment above me, flooding VW America and Volkswagen Official's Twitter with ID.3 mention might move their decision to bring it to US

Same here - my immediate family would get two ID.3 and several friends and extended family would, as well! Please VW - sell the ID.3 as well as the ID.4 in the U.S. !

VW has to sell a lot of them in Europe to reach their CO2 targets. If not they have to pay high penalties. But they will continue to ship the e-Golf to the US.

@@HolgerWittig Understood, but the ID.3 is a much better car than the e-Golf.

The customer does not need to worry about the 20/80 rule as the battery is already protected by the manufacturer. The battery is larger than the quoted usable capacity. So you can never get it to a real 0%, the 0% you see will really be at least 10% remaining, same at the top end, you can never fill the battery you can only reach the 100% that VW limit the charge to.

@@idparkinson Yes and no, the car has a 6% buffer(difference between gross and net battery sizes), for the customer to not have to worry about the 20/80 rule the car should have a 40% buffer and that's a huge waste of battery capacity and weight. Customers need to be careful about battery discharge, but the 6% buffer wil prevent major damage unless you drain your battery too many times.

They are planning to shut them down.

@@garak451 And a lot of clean energy will be lost and replaced by radioactive coal (or by radioactive fossil gas, just to look a little bit greener), thanks to Angela Merkcoal. Note: before some keyboard warriors start to crank up their guns, please note that I have, just now, in my backyard (just few kms away) the Italy's inventory of used nuclear fuel and that both me and my parents are still alive and not glowing green. It's a shame that such fuel is not reused as a big punch against climate change but instead it is used just as an excuse to justify the existence and the possibility to harvest more money by the local "environmental" NGOs. Germany did not learn anything from Italy's mistake, bad luck for them too. Chris, do not believe that, just because you signed a contract, your electricity will actually come from wind and solar, it is just a syntetic count, your consumption will just be counted as part of the quota produced by wind and solar; since the vast majority of the energy hungry factories do not give a shit about the source of their electricity, this is a zero cost addition for all electricity providers. However, since electricity is neither easily transported nor easily stored (the cost of your car before incentives is a demonstration of that), the electrons that will flow on your car will actually come from that NPP, in particular if you charge during night and at least for the duration of the car leasing, then the source will sadly become coal or fossil gas. So, be happy to use for some years a clean, carbon free source, also if it is not the one you expect. I will also probably buy an ID3; in north west of Italy during night the electricity is coming from France, nuclear source of course, this is reported by electricitymap website. This is one of the reasons why I could buy an EV: my actual electricity source. Finally, there is no possibility that the south of Germany will be fully or for the most part powered by Wind and solar, too much population, too many factories and too few Wind and sun to be harvested. There is a reason why Elon went near Berlin, north of Germany has more Wind, so Tesla can green wash itself better, in Germany too.

True that!

Certainly something will be possible through the OBD :)

As an electrical engineer. YES NERD MODE. Give us all the real-time values, or we will get it out with OBD2 connector if it has one.

@@HermanWillems we should demand it from our legislature! exactly that! its a digital platform, what are we talking about in 2020?!?!!?!? Talk to your local EV NGO and say that we need a nerd mode with precise information on consumption, battery temperature in driver display becauste it is vital for vehicle operation and good maintenance. the VW is really known for their "villain" behaviour so this should be adressed on level on parliaments. Perhaps to the EU Council, they are the shortest route. Demand data that is important to driver and not just what car manufacturer thinks its enough. Its doesnt cost them a thing, and they are using kilometers instead of battery percentage to make it "easier" for consumer and km estimate is not a precise data, its extrapolated by battery percentage and past trip. What if car is stuck in blizzard and we must conserve energy to heat the car for rescue to get as it is known in europe to happen. If i have only kilometer, i could waste not being aware how low the battery is and be in deadly danger.

Danke

@@BatteryLife Sehr gutes Englisch

Not yet.

It's not a static display. The range is always recalculated based on the last consumption and trips.

His initial trip after picking it up was driven at a high speed.

Actually it's the same with other VAG EV. Initially it gives range based on previous driving style, elevation changes (and temperature?), but changes to more real range once you drive it

Alb Björn muss lernen zu teilen 😅

We charge is VWs own thing. I think!

I am not a fan of both.

I am old!

58 kWh, it's in the title 🤷‍♂️

RaCoBe Test next week. Then we know.

Ich will einfach 2 volle Trips, die ich kontrolliere.

Battery Life Was meinst Du mit volle Trips?

@@alexklemme Na höchstahrscheinlich , einen den man zurücksetzt, wenn am will und einen der durchläuft aber rücksetzbar ist, oder einen der durchläuft, und zwei die man je nach Lust und Laune zurücksetzt.

Teslabjoern might have results at the end of the week, too.

@@abraxastulammo9940 Thank you. it will be interesting to see

Iq drive does not excist. There is an iq light, id light, id Eye

There is a 130 kmh test and a 1000km test.

Battery Life oh yes there is. My apologies. I just saw your video of 130km/hr.

100 km/h because everyone is driving with their caravan, right? ;-)

Yes, do the test at different speeds: 80 (most B-roads), 90 (used in France), 100 (Netherlands), 110 (used a lot in France), 120 (Belgium), 130 (France/Germany/Netherlands in some places and times). Then repeat at different times in the year at different temperatures. We also need wet/dry roads for all these combinations. Oh and wind speed needs to be registered, so we can correct for that.

That is true. I forgot to put that in the video. Google maps said 6 km more. So I drove 427km.

Danke, blick ist ok. Rückfahrkamera würde ich aber nicht weglassen.

@@BatteryLife Denke das ich das auch ohne hinbekomme. Bin von 34 Autofahrerjahren 30 ohne Kamera ausgekommen. Wollte aber jetzt den Aufpreis zum Buissenes nicht zahlen da ich das alles nicht wirklich ( wenigfahrer ) brauche.

He is doing it today. Me tomorrow, due to less traffic.

Mine has only lane assist. Just a safety function. The first edition max has travel assist. Which is self driving.

I'll do a top speed test.

97 km/h maybe

@@BatteryLife ok. can be a good speed.Thanks.

Media is still work in progress.

It is in the video ;)

It uses regen to slow down after overtaking. It is more efficient to coast the speed down.

Really. Way too early. congrats on the car!

@@BatteryLife Yes, particularly considering, how unbelievable accurate range calculation is. Should be similar on your ID.3...

Metal!

Thankfully people are not that angry here.

Here in India this 90 to 100 kmph is an idle speed in highway and max speed will be 120 to 140 kmph I think the range will differ where you live as per your speed limits and how you drive

Handling is awesome. Brakes need good pressure when you drive sporty.

Tuesday comparing to Model 3 SR+

Klima war 40% der Zeit an.

58 kWh

@@BatteryLife great, that I ordered too. Next spring will be electric 😁

Nope, not yet. It doesn't plan chargers as well. Next update.

Battery Life ok tnx for info and great videos. I might order the ID.4. 👍🏻🚗🔋 or škoda Enyaq. Which one is the best you think. Both is in the MEB plattform

No, but wltp always is very close with my 90 kmh test.
