Volkswagen makes UK owners pay additional to cancel the identification of the identifier.

It is safe to say that no one loves it when a company closes the full capabilities of the car they already bought behind a monthly subscription, which Volkswagen does in the United Kingdom. like Electrek and Auto Express I mentioned that the auto company is now listing the Volkswagen ID. In a footnote to ID.3 Pro S BasicThe company notes that for new requests, 150 kW or 201 hp is now the new standard for engine power. Customers can only enjoy the capacity of the electric car 228 hp (170 kW) if they activate “the promotion of optional energy for a fee”.

They can pay $ 22 (16.50 pounds) per month to cancel EV’s full horse capacity, pay them for the whole year once or pay a single -time fee of $ 880 (649 pounds). Based on the formulation of Volkswagen, the one -time fee is useful for the car’s age, not the owner. If the customer sells EV, the new owner also gets the upgrade. They will then have to pay for it again if they buy a new EV, it was also renewed. Malcon will get at least a free experience for a month if they want to know if they really need these additional muscles.

Once again in 2022, BMW is also closed The hot seat feature of its cars in some countries behind the subscription fees worth $ 18 a month. The cancellation of the lock of automatic high symptoms offered for about $ 12 and heated the steering wheel for another $ 12, too. As in the case of Volkswagen, EV devices were already capable of all these features, and customers did not need to install anything. The whole thing was just a matter of payment to cancel its availability. Well, as one expects, users did not like it. After a year, BMW The subscription service was canceled He said he will not make customers pay additional for devices.
