Pre-TÜV roadtrip/ringmeet is the obvious solution.

I forgot (or possibly never knew) that TÜV depends on distance covered and not just years. MOT here is just three years for a new car.
Glad it went through without many issues. Scoring on brakes isn't ideal, EV manufacturers may have to re-think the concept of brakes entirely if lack of use becomes an issue.
I’ll definitely make sure to do some hard braking right before next TÜV in two years, just to see whether that helps in any way
Reminds me of the old A(S)U days when you'd stress the engine a lot before going to the testing place in order to juuuuust pass emissionsPre-TÜV roadtrip/ringmeet had the obvious solution.
Yeah the km I just put in as an info - nothing to do with TÜV.I forgot (or possibly never knew) that TÜV depends on distance covered and not just years. MOT here is just three years for a new car.

The cleanest my brakes have ever been was after 2 Ring laps at Ringmeet. Just saying
Yeees yeeesAnd the 'Ring is not far from Köln
And there are superchargers in Nürburg
TÜV for a brand new car is 3 years, after that two years. KMs don't matter
Yeah ignore me I was just going by the first date in the thread rather than the first line where you said you got it in June 2019.Yeah the km I just put in as an info - nothing to do with TÜV.

Regarding brakes: VW is doing rear drums again because of this. Good easy solution tbh - don’t see much of the drums with those mostly closed EV wheels anyway.
Renault has gone from rear drums to discs with the new Zoe… which I don’t get. Oh well.
Yeees yeees
Yeah… registered 31.05.2019 - so 05/2019. but delivered mid June since they moved the delivery date twice.Yeah ignore me I was just going by the first date in the thread rather than the first line where you said you got it in June 2019.
crosspooooostWell... update on that... my car has strange hiccups with updates at the moment. After that post above, I had a few update notifications:
- first, 2022.20.something hotfix. ok.
- after that, two solid weeks of "a game update is available", which i did not bother with the hotspot for.
- yesterday: 2022.28.x, alright alright time to get out the hotspot. some 5 GB of traffic later, the progress bar sits at 100%, still shows the green "downloading" marker, and shows 0 B/s speeds. fair enough, that's the usual once the download is finished and the car is sorting through data or whatever.
- then, however, another 45 min drive with active hotspot and the car constantly stuck on those 0B/s still downloading status.
- this morning, come back, activate hotspot to resume download, check status after 15 min only to see: car downloading 2022.24.8. and at 50%.
- after the full 45 min drive: back to 100%, 0 B/s and doing nothing.
what the shit is going on, honestly? did they recall the 28 update while my car was already downloading it? why isn't it finishing any of the updates currently? is it refusing to update unless it's finished offloading whatever kind of data it is sending/receiving in addition to the update itself (explaining the massive amounts of data it's consuming)? I dunno... will have 100mbit temporary connection at our house from 7.10., so the car will at least spend some time in a regular wifi environment and can do whatever the hell it pleases. I think running purely off a phone hotspot somehow seems to hit some limits at some point
also: my wife somehow managed to get rid of that thing on the classifieds for a whopping 50€. I still don't understand how anyone could ever possibly need this part. Oh well, I'm not complaining...also have a spare glass front fascia for that thing, since I ordered the grey replacement, which i'll probably never get rid of, because who the hell would want the stock white one (that, despite being made of glass, somehow looks like cheap-o-plastic) and how would you ever manage to damage that thing without killing the whole unit in the process. meh.
UPDATE TO EAT MY OWN WORDS!TL; DR: car seems to be in OTA limbo because it never sees a regular wifi for any decent amount of time (only phone hotspot while driving, max. 60 min at a time).
ah crap, alright time to roast the sim card I guess thanks for the infoUpdate 2022.28 should re-appear after you get the game updates.
tbh they should just deliver all updates through the cars connection as soon as you book premium connectivity... BUT NO!Or just free 5G for updates, wouldn't be too much to ask.
