Volkswagen ID.4 review (2022)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Utterly dreadful.
Lost 60 miles of range capacity when fully charged (100%) since September, Air conditioning / heater does not work, rear camera and sensors don't work. Infotainment system feels like cheap 10 year old Android tablet to use, (when it works) , only not as enjoyable.
VW main dealer can't do the 2 day - yes - '2 day' software update to hopefully resolve issues until end of January 2023... 3 months of no heater in a brand new car.
The id4 I have the displeasure of owning isn't fit for purpose.
AVOID - as seems like they have released a beta version... Very disappointing VW.
A 1978 Ford Cortina would be a better option currently, at least the heating would work!

How reliable do you find the car?
