Pretty confusing.....yep! I'm trying to determine if the upgrade I received has done anything to the "battery is cold so I'm going to hear it up excessively " issue in the cold.
No idea. Maybe that's the 3.0....
If your ID.4 came with 2.3 installed from the factory, then it already has the changed battery heating in cold weather algorithms.
If it’s an earlier model, then 2.4 makes that change, and the car will no longer try to heat the battery until a much lower temp, helping with cold weather short trip efficiency.
3.0 should start rolling out over the air by the end of this month apparently, and that version is promised to fix the charge timers, along with all the other enhancements. We shall see.
I do want the charge timing fixed, since 2.4 was installed on our GTX it regularly deletes my ‘Home’ charging location and defaults to ‘charge now’ meaning I miss my off peak electricity rates.
For now, I’m using the timed charging function on a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, but the car doesn’t always take the full rate available for some reason. Also supposed to be fixed in v3.0.
That’s my only remaining issue with the software to be fair, I’ve found the App connectivity to be pretty solid on my iPhone, but if they rollout better integrated route planning via chargers and ‘plug and charge’ then I’ll be very happy.
It’s been a long journey for some of us, I got an ID.3 1st Edition back in Oct/Nov 2020, that was indeed an ‘interesting’ time software wise until they rolled out the first patches!
Still, it never let me down, it was annoyances more than show stoppers. We also have a Tesla M3, which should make me happy right, but the software irritates the heck out of me, albeit for different reasons.
My old ‘analog’ e-Golf was never as needy! 😂
