Just picked up my "new" GTE from VW Crewe, happy days. I see from the dealer key fob it's new old stock but don't care. I wasn't into the Mk.8 at all, fugly thing inside.
So it's still a Mk.7.5, same as it was before other than a reversing camera, lane assist, fancy lights and a start/stop button which definitely takes some unlearning!
Does anyone know if there has been a general software upgrade? the e-motor seems quite perky as does the adaptive cruise. ICE is much the same.
Also the infotainment screen seems just a little less sharp, though that might just be my eyes!
Looking forward to another 30k of trouble-free (and mostly petrol-free) miles.
BTW, had a shot in a Model 3 Performance last week. I'm fortunate enough to have driven some pretty lunatic machinery but that is a complete beast. I'd likely be a danger on the road, the acceleration is so addictive, and totally free of conscience. I live in hope...
