ID3 will require a manual software update

Hitler's favourite car company, VW, is having problems with its ID3 all-electric car.

Germany's Manager Magazine reports today that Volkswagen is struggling with software problems for its ID3 all-electric car. According to the report, the ID3 will be built for months with an incomplete software architecture that could affect up to 20,000 electric cars.

These units, intended for sales in Europe and not the US, will require a manual software update.

The nature of the software problem -- how it affects vehicles or the sales timeline -- was not disclosed.

The magazine reported the issue as "massive". And unfortunately, the fix is is a pain in the boot.

Thousands of ID3 cars will be parked in dedicated rented spaces until the spring when service teams will be deployed with mobile computer stations.

The new software will be manually installed in this manner for the first 10,000 or so ID3s. A total of 20,000 ID3 vehicles will need to be reworked until the second wave of production begins in May. At that time, further software updates can be deployed over-the-air.
