Thought your name looked familiar. You will remember me from the VWID forums.. I was looking for help recently purchasing any in-stock ID.4. Nice to meet you again. As you may have guessed.. I own a Model Y. My wife owns the ID.4.
FWIW I think CarPlay is heads & shoulders above Tesla's infotainment system. And I consider it be one the biggest issues with the Model Y as Tesla's infotainment system is severely lacking streaming options. I can stream from a 100 different apps and at great bitrates with CarPlay, especially wired. With Tesla's system Im stuck with a few choices.. Spotify being the only one worth mentioning. Tesla's in-car nav is also disappointing.. thankfully it finally just got a little improvement with the addition of waypoints aka "add a stop" over the past few weeks. I still greatly prefer Waze for showing me where cops & speed cameras are.. and ABRP is still far and beyond the best routing app for driving long distance in an EV.. it will get you there significantly faster than Tesla's charging recommendations as you spend a lot less time charging. If im driving further than 300miles its guaranteed Im using both Waze & ABRP to get there.
As for anyone else.. if you have any questions ID.4 vs Model Y. I'll be glad to answer them. Only have about 200 miles on the ID.4 so still getting used to things. The price point on the ID.4 is amazing for $32.5K (after $7,500 rebate) you get 250miles of real world range, 82KWH battery, 0-80% charging time in exactly 38mins at an EA 150KW charger, 3 years of free charging at any EA charger and all the other traditional features that's missing off the cheapest Model Y sold which is now $59K for the LR. You know things like CarPlay, Android Auto, real blindspot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts with automatic braking. Want AWD and 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.. its an extra $3,700.
Price is the name of the game here. Is the Model Y LR better.. Yep!
Does the Model Y LR cost $22,500 more than the ID.4 (including $7500 tax credit).. Yep!
You drive both back to back. You will seriously question is the Model Y is really worth $22,500 more.. than you will ever question is the ID.4 ugly, slow or lacking technology. The ID.4 is an extremely competitive & competent SUV styled EV.. and VW is selling them as fast as they can make them.
