I was looking at used Evs and I keep seeing 1 or 2 yr old VW id4s with very little miles for like $25-30k. Is there a reason why they lose their value so quickly? I even saw a 2022 Pro S with 2k miles for $28k. Someone basically lost $20k driving it off the lot 😓

    The current ID infotainment system is adequate. Most folks complaining about it have never used it and are parroting (legitimate) complaints about the original 2.1 software from the 2021. The 3.1 software update fixed the lag and most if the bugs.

    What’s funny is all the folks who have crapped on the 2.x and 3.x mediocre ID4 software for 2-3 years now blindly assume 4.x will be unicorns and rainbows! 😁

      I have tried it, and it was lagging. Maybe that’s fixed now, in which case, good.

      But, the lack of backlighting or feedback for the heating controls is still present until the face-lift models arrive. And, as they’re built into the touchscreen, I count those as part of the infotainment system.

      If you have an ID and you enjoy it, then that’s great. But I couldn’t live with that system.

        That’s fair. As I said, it’s mediocre. Even when I had the old software, it wasn’t so bad that I’d get rid of a car over it.

      Well the 4.x software looks much snappier from the test drives out there and also more feature-rich and both those count for something
