This was super informative to hear as an amateur outdoorsman in the north east area! The audio was fine enough for me to make out most of what was being said too!

After the second time it would get a match let alone 12. Wouldnt own a pos ev ever

'He who does things' Is a better label

And if there's no climate control that I would imagine the battery conditioning is being affected as well

And this is why auto manufacturers need to open source it a bit more so owners and independent shops can DIYs and repair because if they're not going to do it within a timely manner and if they're going to be non-transparent about the reasons then it's up to the consumer since it's their purchase and their vehicle to look up solutions on their own.

What year is your car?

Seems like Volkswagen put a stop selling these cars cuz I can't buy one used but now I've seen this video might be doing me a favor but then I can't buy it instead of me because resolved. You would think that software would be something easy to fix.

Wow that is awful! That is totally unacceptable. Sorry what you're going through. I have 1000 miles on my 2023 ID3 Pro S Plus. It's currently in the shop for brake booster replacement. My wife also has a 2023 ID4 and it needed a brake booster replacement after owning hers for 20 days. My windshield is also being replaced due to excess distortion in the drivers line of site causing severe eye strain. I have had the surround cameras stop working. Luckily I found tip online to pull the fuse and reinsert it and it brought them back online. I had a loud clicking noise in the rear passenger axel every time I used the brakes that suddenly disappeared after 700 miles. My lug nut covers on my front passenger wheel side have had 2 that fell out and all were loose on my ID4 I had to push them back in. And finally, one of the slats in the center vent under the infotainment display cracked and fell out as I was simply adjusting the direction of the airflow. My ID4 has been nothing but one problem after another. I literally just passed the 1000 mile mark. It's a shame because I do like the vehicle. I also have a 2024 Toyota BZ4x, not a single issue after 2000 miles. I also have a 2023 Model Y Performance, no issues after 1000 miles. It is really mind boggling that both my wife's ID4 and mine needed brake booster replacements. What kind of quality control is Volkswagen doing with these? It is abysmal.

Why did you repeat yourself?

VW is the German junk brand, stay away period!

This is soo sad. Will never buy a VW/ Audi whether it be electric or combustion engine. Everyone I knw has issues with their cars from transmissions cutting out twice a year to weird software issues.

If you look at the climate control screen at the top left you will see that the OFF button is blue. This means the climate system is turned off. That is likely why it is not working. Push that button and it may work. VW dealers don't bother learning how this car works.

I've had my 2021 ID.4 for 2 1/2 years with only minor issues. The dealership I bought it from had a shitty service department. I went to a different one. No problems.

That ID.4 was towed improperly: th-cam.com/video/jHFrUcmLjIA/w-d-xo.html

Thank you from St Albans VT!

please post followup. i am getting same errors on drive system, same song and dance from VW. "take it home and good luck" is all i get from the dealer. 2 months in the shop. AVOID this car. VW doesnt care about its customers.

Hi. Thanks. In cas of a real winter cold, do you think the Pemi could be of any use to wear over one of Senchi's alpha direct garments ?

I appreciate your patience man. I even almost freak out of the situation you're in.

sick bro, Loved watching the video. hyped to try it one day

Sometimes I have to go as cold as -30 at my job. Do you recommend anything for trousers?

great info

Nice review! Really helpful as it comes from someone who actually uses the hell out of these boots. Please do an update for this season, would be great! Also, sorry for your femur! Saw it in the previous comment.

We have owned one of the first five vehicles released in our state a 2021 Id.4 pros for three years . While there have been a few hiccups, and recall items it is has been a great car for our needs. Our dealership has done a great job addressing these issues. I am sorry your experience has been so bad and feel it is somewhat of an exception. I hope you get treated fairly concerning your buyout.

Absolute legend. So informative and had all the jackets I was considering and of course plenty more I had no clue about. Huge thanks all the way from the UK!

Why do people keep buying ev's ? Serves them right, no sympathy for them.

Used the ME Trango for a few years in temperatures as low as -25°C(-13°F) Surprisingly durable, warm, weather resistant and well featured. Especially for the money. Probably in large part owing to its heat reflecting scrim and dual off-set baffle construction(?) Definitely be interested if ME were to release a hard core thigh-length, larger helmet compatible hooded, 800/850FP Goose down version though. Would be nice if they offered them in more brighter colours, like in some of the Women’s versions(?) That internal shot detailing the differential baffle construction of the Kryos jacket was just awesome. Kudos on another clear and instructive guide to ME’s down and synthetic insulated jacket range.

Hello! While the drivetrain error is legit, the climate control one is not. You just need to turn ON climate control from the blue button ON/OFF located top-left on your display. Being an ID. owner myself I know the drivetrain errors can happen and they are quite easy to handle by a competent VW workshop. Maybe you reach out another VW workshop in your area to fix issues. All the best! Adrian

They stopped making this because I can’t find it

Honest review! Thanks for it!

Great video and nice to see something new. Hoping to get back there myself early next year

If you are reading this, and own a Fjallraven Keb Expedition Down Jacket in XL and are willing to part with it. Please let me know.

WOW - what a terrible run you've had - seems like you got an absolute LEMON - VW should swap it out with a new one but of course that is the perfect world and didn't happen. I hope you get a solution. The dealer's comments were terrible. Anthony (New Zealand, SUN 25 FEB 2024, 11.33 a.m.)

You have to press the on button for the climate control in the upper left hand corner. It’s a VW thing. I have a 2023 id4 same thing happens

IS there an updated version of the nilas? It seems like it got discontinued?

Thanks for the video I was about to get one now I'm staying away. That's is a garbage car.

I wish I watched this video before purchasing. I don't understand putting this over a shell as I have always had my down jackets protected under the shell. If you're layering with a shell are you expecting wetness? Seems to defeat the whole purpose of this jacket if so.

What size are you ? Im wondering as im going to get the same green Montbell Japan but not sure what size as i usually go for medium in for example north face jackets.

I just had mine day before 12 mi, in the middle of the road with this same error. VW roadside was awful. I plan on canceling my lease tomorrow.

Don't you have some kind of customer protection agency in the US? In the EU that could have been resolved quite quickly. They can't just tell you to drive it away as it is.. Don't forget to review the dealership in Google maps.

Great review, how tall are you just for reference? I’m not sure if you said it in the video or if I missed it. I’m 5,8 and usually wear a medium in arcteryx and most other outdoor brands.

Thank you for the review. I’m more than happy with mine

Great review! I am partial to TNF outdoor gear, but recently added some MHW pieces. I got the TNF Summit Series Breithorn Jacket last season to replace my Summit Series Thunder Micro Jacket (purchased 12/2012, so 11+ years old). The Breithorn is okay at best. The cuffs are meh (elastic, but still loose). And not a huge fan of the silky, soft feel of the material. The Thunder Micro has a tougher feel to the material. They don’t make ‘em like they use to. That being said, I am thinking about getting the MHW Phantom Alpine Down Jacket as my new alternative to my old TNF Micro Thunder Jacket. I found the old version…Phantom Down Jacket at a deep discount, so may give this one a shot. And maybe selling the TNF Breithorn, albeit at a small loss or just keep it as a beater jacket. Thoughts?

I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I find it hard to believe a service center would claim to fix your car, then when it demonstrably isn’t fixed, then tell you “goodbye” without some Kind of rationale.

Simply the most complete video about parkas and insulating jackets there is on youtube

How is the season going for you with the Rossi boots and marker dukes? Curious to know how downhill and touring in these has been and if you’re still 80/20 resort/touring?

Lawyer up

Would the Trango work as part of a layering system for treks like Mt Fuji, Kilimanjaro and Everest base camp? If not which mountain equipment jacket would work well? Perhaps the Kryos…? Another great video! Thanks!

Do you think the Trango would be sufficient for Aconcagua?

Sorry about what happened to you. I have a 2022 ID.4, Pro S RWD, 56k miles so far and no issues with it. Best car I have owned.

I feel your pain man🙏. I have one of these Id4’s in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. Biggest mistake buying Id4, constantly having problems and dealerships are as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. In Ireland it takes 6 weeks before a dealership can take your id4 in for inspection, due to the volume of electric cars failing at the side of road 👎. I hope you find a solution to this terrible experience 🙌.
