Hello fellow Skodians. I hought I would start this thread, as there seems to be quite a few either taken ownership, placed orders or just thinking about getting the best ev out there.
So, any questions that someone may be able to answer, any good or bad dealings with dealers, specs wanted or received, perhaps someone could help others in their quest

I already ordered this and paid
I’m new in scheme. Been awarded high rate for a first time as my condition went worse. My dealer said they can’t do anything if AP will go lower as they once asked notability and been told that they have sick with the price which was on time when ordering.You live and learn! Don’t let it distract from what is otherwise a decent car 🙂
There’s a great bunch on here, thats always happy to help with any questions or anyhing your unsure of in the future!

thank you ! I am more than sure will have still lots of questions. Now probably about EV charger. Car was ordered today midday so hopefully someone will contact this week? Do you know if it is possible to have someone form motability/ Ohme to do the survey as I am not fit enough to do all they want especially measure all distance.
Speaking of Enyaq Questions ….
Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying message?, comes up every time I get into the car.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
Does this help 🙂

In my view a customer let alone a disabled one, shouldn’t be asked to carry out a survey, just so they can put what they believe to be the maximum demand into a “guess o meter” based on what a customer has told them, what they think is right.
I can imagine what a customer would tell me, if I told them to take photo’s measure where the chargers going and what the appliaces are rated at. I’d quite rightly guess they tell me to off!
In answer to your question, there will be a box where you can request a survey by them 🙂
Ok. Ive ordered my Enyaq coupe
it was hard decision! I could not sleep today as I could not decide which enyaq should I choose ! I tested both estate and coupe. One in sportline other in lounge. And I must say sportline seats were not comfortable for myself. So I went with ecosuite. Estimated delivery today was 15/04 but this might change both ways. Will see 
not sure about other dealers but I had to pay £500 deposit today which it took me by surprise as I’m I thought I will pay AP on the day when I will collect the car.We had a look at a Sportline in the local showroom yesterday, and we also found the seats not comfortable, they were just too hard. We mentioned this to the salesman and he found us an 85 Edition to sit in instead. The seats in that did feel better, but I had a vague idea I’d read somewhere that they are the same, and only the covering is different? (Neither were as comfortable as our Volvo, but we’re yet to sit in a car that is!).

seats on sportline are sport meaning have different shape. And that’s (for me) make a huge difference
Yeah I wasn’t impressed with Wings in Kings Lynn. For the record Group1 in Norwich we’re superb not only did they immediately give me an Enyaq for a whole day but they were actually interested even after I told them it was a Motability order.
On top of that I ordered on 30th Dec, obviously price dropped on the first before I could ask I got a phone call to tell me he’d amended the order so that’s £400 in your (my) back pocket. Honestly really nice dealership, friendly, helpful I was immediately offered drinks and biscuits whilst waiting to order my car as salesman was running late with previous appointment

that’s an impressive customer service. Our salesman was great. But he was still trainee. So he asked about everything his manager and come back with that sort of answers ;(

The seats are different,the Edition seat is more flat and wider than the sportline.
Volvo used to have the best ergonomic seats around in their xc60, 70 and 90, but since the Chinese took them over I found the xc40 seats a lot less comfy
I think the sports seats in the 85x Sportline Plus are the same as what’s in the VRS. The VRS has a bit of fancy badging on the headrest and the yellow stitching but other than that it’s the same seats!
I found them quite comfortable on my test drive and the side bolsters support well. The drivers seat also has plenty of electrical adjustment from memory, even leg support adjustment.
Those with a 85x Sportline plus already will probably be able to correct me if I’m wrong!

Has any week 49 build date orders on here been received yet? For 80 estates
Yes, collected ours on Friday.</p>
Does anyone know why the Enyak and VW group equivalents use drum brakes on the rear?
Just had a quick look at one and one of the first things I noticed. Same with the Q4 E-Tron. It can’t really be for regen purposes, as they suggest, as no other manufacturers EV’s Ive seen use them.
Week 49 for an 80x Sportline Plus, converted to 85x and collected Jan 12th
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
Week 48 for a Sportline 85X and collecting it tomorrow. In Northern Ireland so probably takes a little longer getting here. Lol
Maybe mine is due soon then. Was your model converted OK to the 85?
All week 49 build slots will be an 85 model. What 85 model you’ll receive will depend on what you ordered (i.e. 80x Sportline Plus becomes 85x, however 80 (non-X) Sportline Plus becomes either an 85 or 85x – they seem to be converting some to AWD and others not).
Seems to be an unknown the model that I’ll receive. I ordered 80 with no packs dealer said definitely an 85 edition. Havnt had anyone confirm they have received an 85 edition after ordering a base 80

It was explained to me that it’s because the EV versions don’t use the rear brakes very much. So it’s cost effective and to stop them rusting due to lack of use.

This is exactly what I read, can’t remember where though.
Drum brakes are better on an EV as disc brakes are exposed to the elements all the time and lack of use on EVs causes them to fail, drum brakes are pretty much a sealed unit keeps the road grunge out

Apparently for a better recuperation;)
