      I actually ended up adding the luxury shocks too so the ride is buttery smooth now. Much better than stock. when I only had the springs, it was still fine. Definitely not bouncy. Ride was similar to stock when I only had the springs. Have never bottomed out. I’ve scrapped the mud flaps a few times, but that’s it.

    I dumped the 21" OEM tires/wheels from my 2022 MYP and replaced them with some 18s from TSportLine. Shaved 68 pounds off along with lower performance times and increased efficiency. It rides better and no longer fear curbs or potholes and can rotate them, extending their life. Per my DRAGY I dropped from 6.67 to 3.54 w/o the roll-out.

    Got rid of my ID4. Don't buy this crap! It is like a train without railroads!!! And take a Tesla Y for a day from Herz - you'll see what I'm saying. Here's the story: I had always been a fan of Germans, until I bought this shame of German car making. Germany has winter, but it is somehow not prepared for winter AT ALL: 1) we put winter tires from official dealership (Michelin tires mind you), and Anti-slip system started to engage whenever I am trying to accelerate. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK WHEN MERGING to a highway - the car DID NOT ACCELERATE!!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!! the dealership was trying to "dial in" some settings, they invited a VW rep - NO CHANGE. I ended up swapping my tires back to mid season. 2) and now, after the "dialing in" experiment the range at 100% battery load shows 210 miles. I brought it back to the dealership - they can do nothing about it. 3) no heat pump - goodbye range in the winter 4) charging is slow - max charging speed I saw when charging was 65 - 70 kW 5) finding a decent charger is a good luck experience - you have to drive off the highway and there is no guarantee there'll be an available stall that works... AWFUL. We are driving between Boston and NY often - a couple of times we merely made it back home even with a pit stop to recharge... Result: Picked up my TY in March 2024. ID4 has been such a waste of money. We paid 36K+ for a certified used ID4 a year ago and now trading in for 20K (VW offers me 19K and tries to sell a newer ID 4 - guess my reaction). DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK! Tesla has a super reliable charging - it shows you how long to stay at what charger - and the network is SUPER RELIABLE!!!! After driving my TY for just 4 weeks - I forgot about ALL THE CARS I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED!!!

      We have had our 2023 iD.4 for a little over a year and it’s been great. We love it. Have driven every version of the model Y and it’s great too. Those are not mutually exclusive truths. Peak charge rate for 2023 with SK On cells is 170kW which is good (and I believe the new 2024 might be even better than that). I live in Phoenix so cold weather isn’t a factor. I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience and I’m glad you enjoy your model Y. I love my model 3, so I can understand your passion.

    Have you seen any improvement in your average energy consumption? I would consider doing this with my standard range 2022. But 95% of the reason would be to increase range.

      Maybe slight improvement. Negligible. Not worth the trouble if just for range.

    As far as those glitches and issues with the software/infotainment and charging, you own the "updated ID 4". So, you most likely won't experience those problems with a 2023 on up.

    How were you estimating 304 miles when max range is 270 miles?

    • @BlakeCheck
      @BlakeCheck Před 3 měsíci

      270 isn’t the max range. EPA estimated range is 275. EPA est is based on a series of tests at various speeds under different conditions. The result is an average. And is typically conservative. That’s what the dealer advertises and it sounds like that’s what you’re referring to. But the displayed range in the car takes into account not only the EPA est but also your recent driving habits to give you a more realistic estimate. That said, most EVs won’t achieve their epa est on the freeway at highway speeds. Especially in the cold. That’s typically where EVs struggle the most. Hope that helps.

    • @BlakeCheck
      @BlakeCheck Před 4 měsíci

      @MIA-ow2j there are some notable differences. 2023 addresses some of the early complaints like slower charging and laggy software. If you find a killer deal on a 22 maybe it’s worth the hassle, though. Are there tax credits where you are?

I believe there are grants available which is applied to the overall cost of the car, but this could be for new cars only I'm not certain. It's something I'll be looking into anyway.

    Master electrician here. Owner of 2018 model 3, and 2020 model x. You should not have been using the charger in a gfci anyway. Plus I wonder how far it is from the panel and is there too much voltage drop. GFCI protects against ground faults and shock. Not protection against fires necessarily. That would be more AFCI or arc fault. Too many electricians do not account for voltage drop. Not sure why you do not have a higher amperage charger provision anyway. When you make that kind of investment in an ev, you make the part as well to provide adequate charging. As others have medication traditional outlets are not made for heavy continuous use especially not most gfcis.

      There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to avoid using a GFI plug for charging the car, they're exactly the same as any other outlet in terms of appropriateness for charging a car, they're perfectly fine to use. A master electrician should know this.

    Just out of a curiosity, why did you opt for the phone mount at all? The ID.4 has Apple Car Play. I ordered my 2024 ID.4 a few weeks ago, now waiting impatiently for it to be built. I'm in a similar situation, have a 3yo son, and a dog. I need to replace my aging station wagon, and I need to fit a medium-to-large dog transport box in the trunk with some space to spare, and I decided for this practical family SUV. One thing I'd recommend, though is the back protection of the front seat. In a couple of years from now, you'll have your son in a front facing child seat, and he will kick the back of the seat in front of him, if he's anything like my son. I simply recommend to cover the entire seat underneath the child seat (I was switching my son's child seat from one side to the other recently, and the amount of dirt I found underneath the seat was shocking), plus the back of the seat in front of him.

      To play movies [for the passenger] on long trips when travel assist is on, or even just so I can have a large screen displaying Spotify while the main screen shows the map, or for filming videos, or for FaceTiming. I’ll certainly invest in something like that when we get to that point. For sure.
