New model reveal: what matters beyond the headline specs?

RoadEnthusiast64Community StarterJul 10, 20262024 Volkswagen Golf RDMV / Maryland
A new model just dropped and the headline numbers look good, but I'm more interested in curb weight, wheel/tire sizes, real rear-seat room, charging/fueling, repairability and what features are locked behind packages. Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 Volkswagen Golf R in DMV / Maryland. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Volkswagen Golf R charge sessions. Then you'll know the next fork. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.
