So, I have been quite vocal recently. I originally put a deposit down on a Life, then decided I would prefer a Business, so grabbed a cracking deal on one. Then decided to pull out as I started to panic over the battery issues.

Today I took a bloody test drive and I forgave all the ID.3’s misgivings, so my deal is back on. Should never have test driven it

Serves yourself right!

Now you’ll have to put up with an ID.3 and all its loveable foibles... 😂

I'm not sure anyone on this forum has actually had the 12V battery issue yet.

I’m gonna get a jumpstart/ booster to try and quell my nerves on the battery front as a plan B!

I think all the RHD cars were late builds. I collected on Sept 21st and apparently car was only built recently before that.
I have had no sign of any 12V problems, battery voltage appears normal even after not using car for a few days.

A good idea to keep in any car. Both me and the missus have one in our cars (Her Ioniq can have 12V probs as well).
I have a Noco Boost GB 70, a bit of an overkill for an EV, but the 2000A is handy to start a boat or tractor..

Is this sort of precaution like having a starting handle for cars when I first learnt to drive?

OK, that’s two people, including the other person who replied to the discussion I started.

12V battery drain

It seems there are lots of posts on Facebook about 12V battery problems. Has anyone experienced that on here? If so, what software version are you using?

thanks for that, so it is a VAG issue

I’d say it’s wider than that and more of an EV issue.

That Taycan thread fizzled out around August, and a software update was rolled out that going on the lack of new traffic seems to have fixed it.

I don’t know why it’s seemingly so hard for some EV manufacturers to resolve 12v battery issues, but it seems to be. 🤷

It's the same as saying it is a Tesla issue, because it happened to Tesla first!

Tesla to fix rapidly dying 12v batteries with software update, Musk teases more to come

CEO Elon Musk is teasing a fix to Tesla’s longstanding issue with its 12-volt batteries not lasting long inside its vehicles and more to come regarding the electric architecture.
