Ice? Windscreen? You don’t own a credit card? Come on man!

I dunno what’s worse the vehicle’s performance or the fact I just watched a fully grown adult attempt to defrost a windscreen by putting their hands on it

More than half of the gripe would have been resolved by preconditioning. Still for a 50k van, what a pitiful range.

As a Vw mechanic for 31 years, I found that vw’s built 1998 onwards started a decline in build quality. It was clear to see by the amount of warranty work we did on the 3b passats and 1j golfs. Now sadly I just see the brand as junk.

I'm amazed that someone in a technical trade found de-icing car windows such a challenge.

Your definitely better suited to the office. What helmet uses the wipers and winds windows down when there's ice on the windows. A kettle as well. You don't treat your tools like that.

1. Pre heat the van using the app 10 mins before you get in(saves you sitting in the cold waiting)<br>2. Don’t wind down a frozen window as it could damage the motor<br>3. A lot of EVs don’t let you remove the plug until you unlock the release. Stops ppl unplugging you<br>4. Always good to know how to use a handbrake <br>5. Always good to know how long it takes to fully charge<br><br>Most of the above is user error, well that’s what’s going on the call out invoice.

I like the vibe you all have in your company, the Electric Van seems (at this time of year) like a complete pain, it’s bad enough doing first fix in a empty new house in the cold without the van your going home in being freezing bloody cold…

The window won't go up because it is struggling against the ice and that's giving enough resistance that the safety system thinks someone may be trapped in it and lowers the window again - as pretty well all cars do. Usually, holding the the switch in the close position for long enough will override the safety system and close the window.

Everyone has a windscreen scraper, it's called a credit card.<br><br>A bowl of cold water will clear the windscreen almost as well as hot water, so long as you put the wipers on as soon as you've poured it on the windscreen.

The long storage drawers on this vehicle are all very well As long as there are no obstructions at the side of the vehicle or somebody parks too close at the rear😳
