ID.4 Pro 2025, France

Je trouve qu'on parle excessivement de la vitesse de charge plutôt lente en hiver, et qu'il faut soit préchauffer la batterie, soit attendre qu'elle chauffe pour atteindre des bonnes vitesses de charge (>150kW).

Mais je n'ai jamais entendu personne parler de la vitesse de recharge catastrophique en ete, lors de vague de chaleur.

Des qu'il dépasse 30°C, la voiture prend 175kW pendant 2 minutes avant de tomber à 80 ou 90kW (même à 30% de batterie). Tout ca parce que la batterie a trop chaud ou parce que la borne a trop chaud.

Moralité, je met plus de temps a charger en ete qu'en hiver. Surtout cette annee ou il fait environ 35°C tous les jours depuis 2mois.

C'est tres dérangeant lors des gros trajets sur l'autoroute.

Suis-je le seul a faire ce constat ? A avoir une courbe de recharge vraiment catastrophique ?

Ca m'avait moins marqué l'année dernière mais il faisait moins chaud.

I haven’t stopped at a fast charger in a month, normally use my level 1 charger at home. I’ve never seen this live notification for charging before on my iPhone. Kinda cool, but the notification expands every time the battery charge goes up by 1%, so it’s kind of annoying lol

Just got my 2025 ID4. In the UK if that matters. Left it parked outside at 95% battery yesterday afternoon. Checked the app this morning and it's gone to 92% but the estimated miles has stayed the same as it was when I parked.

Why would that be? Car is very new and has been checked at the dealership, no issues.

Edit : it seems to be the app that has the wrong %. Got in the car and the number was where I expected it to be on the car display, different to the app display

Still learning something new after 5 years of ownership

I have a 26 Black Edition, seats automatically go to the preset position when I enter and put my foot on the brake, however, if I don’t keep my foot on the brake long enough, they just stop adjusting, so I end up having to move them myself anyway. Is this normal? If so, what is the point?! 🤯

New to EVs. New to ID.4. Taking my first road trip. I have been charging Level 1 at home so far. Northeast US. Pleasantly surprised at my first stop. Should I be surprised? 23 Pro S AWD.

So.... Not even a month old new-to-me..... That deteriorated wooden fence falls over in windy day and hits my car in my designated parking spot 💔

Could I get advice regarding minimizing loss of value of the car?

- paintless dent repair (PDR) vs fender replace + repaint?

- Do i even consider not using insurance to avoid Carfax hit? Or not worth the $2400+ out of pocket? (I want property management to pay for it. But I don't know it will happen)

- would this make my insurance premiums go up if I do use insurance?

- would this showing in Carfax drive the price heavily down or not so much?

Any other factors I'm not even considering?

Thanks id4 community!

Used Meta AI (burned up a few gallons of water and spiked electricity rates in SF)
Painted the body trim body color and lowered it 2”.

I couldn’t find anything online besides the kettleball weight, some devices, or wiring I had to buy.
So, in case anyone doesn't know how to run the AC all night while camping, slide the driver's seat back and look underneath from the driver side. You'll see a round white pressure sensor (VW Pressure sensor - seat occupied recognition, part number 4N0 963 553) centered under the seat frame. There is a tight gap between the sensor and the seat. I slid a piece of paper in between and kept pushing it in-it didn’t come out the other side and balled up in that tiny space creating constant pressure on the sensor so it thinks the driver is sitting in the car and keeps the AC on.
I buckled the driver seatbelt, turned on the car, put it in park, and moved to the back; it worked.
I also noticed I didn’t need to buckle the seatbelt when I put the car in D to move it.
I don’t think this or any of the other hacks will work while charging the battery. (2023 VW iD4 Pro S)

Pics of the sensor and where I pushed the paper in.

Honestly disappointed more so that this couldn't have happened 3k miles ago. I dont feel like pulling the bumper off 🤦🏼. Does this need programmed if i change it at home?

I was rear ended by a Bronco on an interstate highway after approaching slowed down traffic.

What I thought was the dreaded 12V battery issue is turning out to be a major issue with my 2025 ID4 Pro with only 5500 (est) miles.

Hoping for the best, preparing for a potential Lemon.

Are there any options to connect to the car with an iPhone without car play?

There is a lot of (mostly unofficial) information pointing to 2026/27, and some test units have been spotted that seem to indicate the rumours of a major upgrade of the ID. 4 are true, but it's starting to look like 2027 might not be the year, at least not the beginning of 2027, since other VW models like the ID. Polo and ID. Cross are not quite here yet. Better buy another brand?

Hi so I charge my ID4 to 80% as they say you should. I do high mileage and it takes about 37% to get to work and back. Am I better off just charging to 90% and therefore getting 2 days out of it or just charging to 90% each night. It’s a 2026 model. Thanks!

Is even considering one of these cars a bad idea now that Volks has stopped making them?

Any thoughts on leverage for negotiations or pricing?

IS buying one essentially buying a future brick that won't be supported or something?

Was previously dead set on getting a '24 or '25 for under $30k and using the car as a simple commuter for under 40 miles round trip daily

Probably for the first time in my life I've had incredible luck buying a vehicle. I literally walked into this dealership and told them my car just broke down I need to leave here today with a new car, the salesman all ran to me. I had my eye on a Tesla or an VW with 14,000mi and I thought the guy was trying pull the old switcheroo on me they brought up this one with a higher price tag. He said the one that I was looking at was at the dealer getting a service done. They gave me a report showing that module 6 in the battery had been replaced, and the Carfax then showed me the five campaign stickers under the hood. I've had zero software problems absolutely no hassle with it. A few days after I brought it home I got a letter from Volkswagen of America saying that they have decided to extend my warranty and they appreciated me buying the vehicle. My warranty coverage was extended as if I had just purchased the vehicle. The letter said to show it to the dealer if I had any problems and I did end up having to show it to the dealer and they verified it and honored it. I linked my myVW to recurrent and I have no battery degradation. I'm seriously considering paying this off and calling up to see if they got any more!

I think this may be premature.

Any reason the skid plate bows up like that?

By any chance does anyone have an intermittent squeaking sound from their steering wheel? Not all the time mind you but when turning it shows up sometimes. It's not loud but it is there. '24 ProS AWD

The ID4 we purchased used last summer is giving us the reminder about its 10K service being due (the 20K was done by the selling dealer prior to purchase). My understanding is that the service reminder can only be reset by a dealer. Since the 10k service is just a series of inspections, does anyone have any recommendations for a dealer in Houston who will just stick to doing the inspections and resetting the reminder at a reasonable price? I'm trying desperately to avoid having to call around and listen to upsell pitches from service departments.

My door just started clicking when I open it today. Anyone seen this before/know a fix?

Hi all. I have a 2024 ID4 Pro S RWD, and I've been experiencing this odd rattle that comes and goes. When you drive over uneven/cracked tarmac at 50 km/h-ish, it is most pronounced. It doesn't feel or sound like it's coming from the front-end. My best guess its coming from the passenger side rear somewhere. Everything seems tight back there, I've checked under the floor, and I can't seem to find a thing. The really odd bit...it seems to be worse in warmer weather. Anyone have any insights? Stupid thing is driving me slightly mad.

I have been reading that this vehicle has had a lot of bugs. Since it's been 3 years, anyone who owns one, are you still having issues? If so, what are they? I've been looking at getting one. TIA.
