Not an ‘X’ but is an Xdrive

Only works if the tax adds up. I bought mine as a company purchase so straight deduction of the company profits. With a personal tax of 2% and all charging paid by the company it is a no brainier. The ID had gone up £5k in price since our order in 2021 but also price protected

Finally build date for EV

The annoying thing is seeing the benefits during that time disappear partly, with the road tax coming and BIK doubling and of course the charge costs going up. The Jeep has been fine though as the dog car

Finally build date for EV

Ordered an ID.3 in September 2020, and now have a build date for first week Feb. It has been rather a long wait. As I am buying it through the business, it will be nice and cheap to buy and run with the current 2% BIK. Also, like to have a "safe" option during the next fuel crisis. 77 Kwh ...

This is the first car I ever ordered that is already out of manufacturing before it has even been built. They only have the low capacity versions that you can order now whilst mine is the high one.

Waterless wash

I think X5Sport did the same as me in 2012, i.e. bought a pump for the rainwater. I have collected a lot of water (unlike the water companies) when it rained a month or so ago, and have a filter in place so can continue to use a hose with the pump in the clean water supply. Not sure if the helicopte...

I checked today on mine as well, looks like a potential slot end of August.

Looks like I still don’t need to rush to install my charge point which I haven’t got around to yet.

I have no news either, continuing to use the Jeep for now, bit more friendly on the fuel compared to the M :(

Not an ‘X’ but is an Xdrive

We failed on the last change where sockets have to be 40 cm from the floor and 50 cm from any radiator (or was that 40 as well, I stopped listening then). Most of our sockets are too close to radiators or too low. Second issue was regarding cable clips, they cannot be a pin with plastic - they have ...

VW recommended Pod Point, but I have not got it installed yet as I still have to fit the fuse box in the garage loft that can support the charge. The electrician pulled a new massive cable to before the house fusebox to the main 100A fuse but could not connect the garage as otherwise he had to valid...

Problem with non home charge points is the fact that you advertise that the car is abandoned for hours at a time. My nieces EV (VW) has now been stripped 3 times of the entire dashboard, about £7k damage each time. We don’t have mains gas here so far chance of getting anything decent in the area for...
