Re: Anyone managed to order yet?

I'd recommend you don't browse the ID.3 forums if you want to keep that optimism! Shut downs in China mean yet more supply chain problems, on top of the existing semiconductor shortage and Ukraine crisis. I believe we are "lucky" in the UK as Cupra seem to have completely removed options (...

Re: Test drive.

It took me by surprise as well and led to arriving at a junction more quickly than I'd have liked, but it still just about managed to make the turn.

Perhaps the brakes need to be pushed much harder in the other modes to achieve the same effect (th...

Re: Test drive.

Re: Anyone managed to order yet?

It certainly looks like they are prioritising these Borns over the ID.3. Some people over on the ID.3 forums who ordered back in October/November time are saying they either don't have any estimate or have an estimate that's over 6 months out, whereas it looks like UK orders done around March time a...
