I'VE OWNED MY VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 1ST EDITION FOR ONE YEAR! HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING

EV Channels Review

After one year and 28,000 miles, the Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition proves to be a reliable and comfortable daily driver for outside sales. The owner highlights its smooth ride, clear backup camera, and the convenience of home charging, which allows her to consistently achieve around 280 miles of range, exceeding the EPA estimate due to her conservative driving style. Key issues encountered include a misaligned charging port door and a significant problem with a flat tire due to the lack of a spare, resulting in a costly replacement. A notable software malfunction caused the dashboard to light up, requiring a dealership visit for an update, as over-the-air updates are not yet available. Despite these drawbacks, the owner expresses satisfaction with the vehicle's financial benefits, including the tax credit and good value retention, and would consider purchasing it again, though she is also looking at the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 for their faster charging capabilities.
