Thanks for that Ado
Being as the current ID.3s are non sporty models it sounds very positive.
A 4wd version with appropriate sport trim would probably be a winner going from your feedback.
The interior pre-conditioning is something that really appeals to me about EV’s as I work shifts so a warm interior at 4:30am in the depths of winter sounds heavenly!
I think with battery tech improving we will see EVs getting lighter with range remaining at 250-300 miles, hopefully it means more agility. Even with both the TCR and ID3 on Bridgestone the TCR still seems to give more feedback but the ID3 feels more balanced, not that it makes a big difference in 90% of daily driving.
I’ve been driving the TCR more these few days and it just feels more special, however the OD3 definitely is so much nicer for city driving with such linear power delivery and no bogging down. I also had to fill up the TCR (last time was Jan), it just seems like such a chore having to plan my route to a petrol station after work when I just wanted to go home.
Overall I would use the TCR for longer trips such as the weekend but for commutes the ID3 is the winner, if I had to sell one though the the ID3 will be staying as much as I love the TCR it’s just too compromised for day to day use.
I realise there will be more charges as times goes on but ultimately our aim to to reduce on our car usage so i guess it would probably balance out.
