After heating this is also possible
Do you remember, that little riot around the BMW plan to have people pay for each monthly seat heating? Volkswagen now catches BMW through the basement by requesting money for extra capital monthly, although fortunately this does not apply in the Netherlands.
Our English colleagues from AutoExpress were the first to report that Volkswagen in the UK offers extra power for a monthly amount. For the time being it only applies to the Electric ID3 Pro, which has 204 hp here and in the UK. It stays here, but on ‘the island’ you can get 231 hp against an additional payment. Exactly: that is the ability that the Cupra Born can also deliver strongly on the ID3. The extra power does not affect energy consumption and driving range and costs around € 19 a month, although you can also be in one go by leaving around € 750 at Volkswagen. Then the higher power is said to remain at the car and the amount of € 750 will also have lost after three years of subscription costs, so purchase quickly seems a better choice than subscribe.
Volkswagen states that this is in fact nothing new, but that extra money has been requested for a long time for a often pure software power upgrade. There is something in it, but such a monthly amount keeps getting used to for many and Volkswagen has already yielded a lot of criticism. That also happened at BMW and that brand therefore even returned to the decision to offer seat heating in a subscription form.
What do you think: should this be possible, or is it ridiculous that Volkswagen wants to see a monthly amount for a few extra horsepower? Let us know!
After Seat Heating, this is also Possible
Remember that small controversy surrounding BMW’s plan to make People pay months for seat heating? Volkswagen is now undercutting BMW by Asking for Monthly Payments for Extra Power, Although Fortunately, This Does Not Apply in the Netherlands.
Our English Colleagues at AutoExpress Were the first to report that Volkswagen in the United Kingdom is an additional power for a monthly fee. For now, it only applies to the electric ID3 Pro, which has a standard 204 hp here and in the uk. That’s where it stays here, but on ‘the island’ you can get 231 HP for an extra charge. Exactly: That is the power that the cupra born, which is very similar to the id3, can also deliver. The Extra Power Does Not Affect Energy Consumption and Range and Costs Around € 19 per Month, Although You can also Get Rid of It in One Go By Leaving Around € 750 with Volkswagen. The Higher Power then Reportedly Stays with the Car, And You Will also Lose The Amount of € 750 After Three Years of Subscription Costs, So Purchasing Quickly Seems a Better Choice Than Subscribing.
Volkswagen States That This is Actually Nothing New, But That Extra Money Has Been Asked For A Very Long Time And At All Kinds For An Often Purely Software-based Power Upgrade. There is some truth in that, but such a months amount remains something that many people have to get used to and volkswagen has already recurred a lot of criticism for it. BMW also experienced this and that brand just reversed the decision to sacrifice seat heating in subscription form.
What do you think: Should this just be possible, or is it ridiculous that Volkswagen Wants to See a Monthly Amount for a Few Extra HP? Let us know!
