Skoda invited me to a visit and I drove my ENYAQ there through heavy rain and storm

[@SeanByrne-vo1kf]

New subscriber, greetings from the UK, great content, you made me smile - The first month of EV ownership I saved £200 on Petrol, but spent £200 extra on coffee and cakes, I will be switching to a DIY solution.

[@electrifiedspeicher]

That's a cheaper option for sure and I know that from my own experience :)

[@Jespervangcom]

Good video and what a trip to Mlada Boleslav :-) Can't wait for the coming videos from Skoda. As for the summary in the beginning, I'm more into chapters, so when you don't have the time for the whole video, you can skip to where you want ! Keep on the good work

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks!

[@BjarkeRavnJonsen]

Thanks for all the videos, and fighting "our" cause :) Keep it up!. Perhaps you could look into the Enode integration from ABRP and the Enyaq ?

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks for your support! An will definitely do a deeper dive into ABRP in the future since the last time is about 2 years now that I did and quite a lot has changed

[@enyaq_gorm]

e node works well and I no longer need to use EV notify or Tronity. ABRP is my go to route planner now.

[@jeroenribbink]

Very nice Matthias that you've been invited to the Skoda facility and had a chance to speak to the board. I'm very curious to know what they said in reply on the challenges/problems you showed them.

[@FSO_PT]

Very nice! Thank you škoda

[@j0hn_q______136]

Love the vids, what would you recommend for artificial speedometer to put on the dashboard and set on the windscreen. Ty all the best

[@danum.wheelz]

Bertha Bruiser now due by the end of October she’s gonna be black n blue with all her bells n whistles, ACDC, Def Leppard, Run DMC, all remixed to give off a sound that can be heard before you see her, I can’t wait to be able to take her abroad

[@ImplyDods]

Big news nobody has reported ! Picked up my new 85 edition on Monday and did a fast charge on a supercharger today. It was peaking at 180 kwh and not 135. Did they mention charging upgrades at the factory?

[@ckjer5327]

Both vw and Enyaq have had a higher peak since June. The 10-80 time should be the same though 😊

[@electrifiedspeicher]

The 85, 85x and RS officially charge up to 175kW and I reality you can max out at around 185kW whilst the charging time 10-80 remains at around 28 minutes but under good conditions you can manage to do it in around 24

[@ImplyDods]

@@electrifiedspeicher Ahh okay thanks. I'm in the UK and on Skoda UK website it says 135 Max for the 85 and that's what has always been reported so maybe we had a worse spec over here. Thanks for replying 👍👍

[@ImplyDods]

@@ckjer5327 Cheers bud 👍👍

[@ckjer5327]

My ID4 from april 2024, only peaks at 135, so it’s quite new. Both Skoda and VW has not promoted the new peak speed in denmark. Not sure why

[@niptodstan]

Matthias. Do a video on accessories. Ask makers to send you their products and test them. Im in Uk, and you're my go to channel. Ive got my Sportline 85x now and I'm loving it. I'd like to find a dashboard mat to stop reflection. A matt finish, thin rubber, if anyone does one. I enjoyed this video. Did you see the next Enyaq? I know you can't say, but is it an improvement? Give us a hint.

[@enyaq_gorm]

No they showed us the elroq.

[@RicoD5]

Nice video again Matthias! 👍 However the summary doesn’t do it for me. It takes away the surprise. I.e. Spoiler alert. Your previous intro’s were just fine. Perfect that the Skoda Board listened to what you had to say. Don’t underestimate the driving force and spokesman you are for your community. Being a proud member I take the liberty of saying that 😉 (Not so) nice that you have to repeat the complaint many of us have about the Skoda navigation and charge planning. Even 4.0 is bad. Therefore I never use it. Besides Google Maps, ABRP does it for me for charge planning. Hurray for Android Auto! Hope to see the videos of your visit soon Matthias. Can’t wait.

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks! I'll put the summary from now on at the end and only mention that there is a summary for those with less time. So I do not spoil anything before watching the video an make the summary more optional.

[@ericbugeja8941]

Hi. Thanks for your videos. Have Škoda provided any clue about when the Enyaq facelift will happen to the modern solid design language?

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about this as of now

[@ericbugeja8941]

@@electrifiedspeicherunderstand. Enyaq has FINALLY just been released in Australia. Do you think I should wait a few months before ordering?

[@AdamAugustPhoto]

I'm excited to hear your reporting of the event. It sounds like they're making moves to show they're listening to their stakeholders at last. Personally the executive summary isn't important for me, I prefer just watching the video as produced. But as a compromise, keeping it in chapter of its own like you did here, I guess people like me can just skip to the next chapter. No issues here either with product reviews, KZbinrs have to be compensated for their time, especially with all the effort you put into doing the same video in two languages, and Ad revenue alone doesn't cut it. Perhaps put a countdown bar at the bottom of the screen whilst you're doing it so those that are against it can skip forward knowing they're not missing the main content? Keep up the good work!

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Skoda makes a first small move into the right direction here and they said they will continue on this. Finally it's happening! I'll try to keep the "ad" content in a separate chapter so people can skip easily on this. As of now I only do sponsored products if I think it might be useful to at least myself like the coffee machine. I'm really into coffee so therefore I accept the offer to get the product for free. But I only accept that with no obligations on my final verdict. That machine will be with me on my roadtrips because the coffee is really good ;)

[@alanbutler487]

😂 the irony of the song on the app being " I can see clearly now the rainbhas gone " lol

[@electrifiedspeicher]

I'll try to match the songs to the video when possible. You're one of the first who really noticed that ;)

[@alanbutler487]

@@electrifiedspeicher I did wonder if it was on purpose, it was a good touch, made me smile

[@travellingman4609]

Have you got any recomendations for bike carriers which fit the Skoda Enyaq? I guess most Enyaq owners like didn't opt for a tow hitch.

[@electrifiedspeicher]

I only have experience with two carriers that fit the tow hitch.I know from some people that they use a Montezz A025PCR or the A025PMON, both can be found on amazon. Seems a bit improvised for me but it also seems to work.

[@alanbutler487]

I skipped the summary and generally watch videos such as yours at 2x speed slowing for the parts that interest me most

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks for the feedback. I always recommend to watch my videos in 1.5 speed if they are too long :)

[@alanbutler487]

You could do the summary as a video shorts and apparently they help your algorithm too

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks for the idea, will look into that

[@niptodstan]

If people find them long. Watch them in two viewings. I do.

[@electrifiedspeicher]

Thanks!

[@adrianbs0]

Not sure if the exec summary is needed? I think part of the reason of why your videos are long is because you speak in a verbose and slower manner. Reason could be English not being your native language. Or just the way you speak as a person. I wouldn't care too much about those comments. It's your channel and presentation style. I don't want to cause offense here, but it's a video about feedback after all :)

[@electrifiedspeicher]

So thanks for your feedback. Very well appreciated!

I'm already collecting accessories for different purposes to do a video on that. Will come in the near future. Skoda is moving in the right direction with what they did with inviting the community. And from my point of view they are also doing a real good job on their ideas for EVs the future ;)
