Volkswagen ID.4 Recall: Owners Told Not to Charge Above 80%

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVolkswagen has told ID.4 owners not to charge above eighty percent because of a battery fire risk, and my guest has built a morning routine around it.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTobias Lindqvist-Nakamura, what is the routine?

3. TL

   Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraVera, it's the Eighty Percent Morning. I wake at eighty percent rested, drink eighty percent of a smoothie, and use code SPARK80 for twenty off.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the recall is a lifestyle now. And is SPARK80 a real code?

5. TL

   Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraIt's technically in the system. It activates when the system is ready, which is a very mindful way to shop.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Does the code work today, yes or no?

7. TL

   Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraToday it's in the system's drawer. Gerald, my gold extension cord, is guarding the drawer, and Gerald only believes in eighty.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGerald.

9. TL

   Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraHe's a cord of discipline.

10. TL

    Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraI film my whole morning with him, and I stop everything at eighty, even my sentences, because the last twenty percent is where the fires are.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me ask you plainly, because owners are watching. Which ID.4 do you drive, and what do you charge it to?

12. TL

    Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraLook, I drive a vision. The vision charges to sixty, and the SPARK80 code is mostly for my followers' cars.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you don't own one. And the code is in a drawer guarded by an extension cord.

14. TL

    Tobias Lindqvist-NakamuraIt expires at eighty percent of its own life, Vera. I think that's the cleanest answer I've given all year.

15. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOwners, check your charge limit and wait for Volkswagen's instructions. Brock, is there anything in your forecast that won't catch fire?
