The Volkswagen ID BUZZ is potentially the best EV to camp in. I decided to test it but things did not go according to plan!

Bring 5 bricks to activate the ID Buzz camp mode, VW technology is truly 'stone age'
😂
Sounds like you can’t afford the bus
Funniest darn comment I swear😂
Yes!! A camp mode, and also a pet mode for when you leave your dog in the car while getting things done. Tesla has this, I’m surprised no other manufacturers have used the tech in their vehicles to make life easier in this manner.
Rivian has. In fact, the Rivian camp mode give you extra controls over camp mode like customizing which lights come on, the noises it makes and the screen can shut off. They actually went a step above and also added a self leveling feature which flattens the vehicle taking advantage of their air suspension. Rivian also provide you with a wrist band key. That makes sure you have full access to your vehicle even if your phone dies or you loose it doing your outdoor activities.
@fpartidafpartida that's a nicely thought through function from Rivian.
Hilarious video! Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks man! 👍🤣
I think if this thing sells well enough a camper version (Westfalia) will be around the corner. It would definitely be a missed opportunity if VW doesn’t do this.
Definitely
I think you can put it in "N" neutral + emergency brake and get the AC working normally. That's how Bjorn did it in his video.
For getting the AC to work whole night? Sound like an odd combination. 🙂
N + Emergency Break. Used to do that when camping in my Tesla MS before we got the camp mode. Worked well. Only thing was that the DRL was on all night, but just cover the light up with some blankets. But VW should really let you open your car from the app... Doesn't make any sense not to have that option.
@@maestroRodskjaer thanks! The app really needs some love and more functions. And if you forget to push online att the startup message in the car you can't connect to it later with the app. I get the privacy thinking here but still a bit annoying.
Another fail from VW. There should be a simple option to select camp mode for when parked up for a snooze or sleeping overnight.
Even my 11 year old jag doesn’t allow the car to be locked when the key is inside
😂
Yes, it has "Campmode", just don't forget your stones 🙂 Cool and informative video !
😂😂
VW must be thrilled to hear how you explain how to break in in their van... And so also all the ID-Buzz owners. But I must also say that it seems dumb to me that you can lock yourself out, when the key is still inside. In my Toyota Corolla hybrid that's not possible.
You do it the same way on all cars. Nothing unique for vw. It's regulated by law that it must be possible to open doors that way for sucurity reasons.
My Prius V (2012) screams at me (long beep) if I try to lock the doors with the keys inside. I accidentally try to lock myself out fairly often. Sort of disappointing that the Buzz doesn't have this function.
Think it has to do with the ignition.
Dangerous. Forget the key in the mid console. Go out through the door to go around to bring out your kid. Car locked. And then the AC turns off. In the summer it would be deadly.
This is an awesome video. It makes want to buy this bus
🙂
I assume the key was in the car when you were locked. Does the Buzz not offer a keyless feature based on proximity of the key to the car? Thus as long as the key was nearby, the doors could still be opened. A bit scary if there was a baby or a dog in the car at the time you closed it.
Yes proximity functionality is there but still locked me out.
What's the frame/board, you put the mattress on? Something you acquired yourself, or came with the car?
That came with the car. May be extra equipment depending on the trim.
i was eying evs for campervans for a long time as it gets rid of a huuuuuuuge problem alltogether...batteries with them you can cover aleverything heating cooling cooking entertainment etc. only problem is they are soo amazingly expensive!! more than 60000 for a vw minibus are you kidding?
I have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited that will not allow the doors to lock when no one is in the interior. Maybe the bricks were the reason for the lockout.
Yes, that's what I think too.
I am still missing the small overlap crash test! Why?
No car app to unlock😕
Is the 300w accessory outlet always live? you could run a 200-250w heater safely if it is....
No, not by default. Not sure but think you need to activate some kind of utility mode to keep it running
You can buy this kit with the bed and bricks at the volkwagen dealer I presume? lmao
Haha!!!!
I like your sense of humour !
🙂
how can I say……epic one！🎉😂
🤣
Good video
Glad you enjoyed 👍
Nice video! Locking yourself outside was unfortunate. :D Do you know if VW has released a camp mode already?
Not that I know of. Testing the new ID4 now with the latest software. No camp mode
Anyone got the number for the nearest Ford Transit Courier dealer?
Do id buz get 7 or 8 seater?
7
Oh no! What a bummer.
🤣
VW should name it stone mode for camping and develop an app to control the door 😂
Stonemode!! 😂
How about the temperature during night? Did I miss it?
No you didn't miss it, since I f*up and locked myself out I wasn't able to measure the cabin temp. Sorry! 😢
I could not sleep at 20deg C. It has to be 18 or less, at least in winter, for me, 16 is ideal... does the heat pump turn down lower and if so, how far?
@gottenhimfella221 16° C possible to set. Lower than that it says low, not sure if that 15° or of it blasts as cold as possible..
@@ItsOnlyElectric Great, many thanks for that!
NP
Imo can blame the car since it was locked until you opened aka unlocked door so why car relocked itself. Weird design choice especially since breaking in was that easy. Compare: On a Transporter if you lock the doors pulling the indoor handle does nothing.
Maybe you are right. But the difference here was that I had the ignition on. Maybe that vmcreares a different behavior
Great video mate, you're welcome to camp with us anytime‼ But then you can stay in the 🏘with us instead. C you soon!
Haha!!! Next time I stay in the house. Thanks for hosting us!
And by the way. I need some nice housy music with good and calm wibes for my videos. Can you fix me some?
@@ItsOnlyElectric I sure can 🎶🎚🎛🎧🎹🪘
It's pretty dumb that it's possible to lock yourself out tho
its a 10 no major blunders or raw chicken
You had the phone in your pocket while taking a leak at night? :)
Yes, took it with me for light and documentation. But big fail. 🤣
Compare the cutaways of a 1970 and this one. They have removed so much interior space by seating the driver so much further back. This is a failure for VW at a time when they needed a win. 80k? No.
I guess it's due to heat pumps etc, but also for added safety with a longer crumple zone?
The door was opened with two air pillows?
Yes.
Yes, the pillows is for creating a small opening for entering a steel wire for pulling the door opener from inside. W Works on all cars and is more of less the official way to do when key is locked in. The real theft protection is the alarm and imobilizer.
If it's the best EV to camp in, why do you have to put bricks into your car to make it work properly?
Haha..it has the potential to be with camp mode.
Who goes “camping” and insisting on 21c?
@matthewtyler-jones8317 first try. And no air vents at the rear.
Me personally I would take out all the rear seats.
There is a cargo version of it. Or do you want a camper van?
@@ItsOnlyElectric the corgi version I assume would be rather bare bones like a Mercedes or Ford cargo van. I would still want a regular VW Van but when I would go do something like what you are doing I would just remove all the seats prior to leaving on a trip.
Get a sleeping bag. Thanks for the video.
😂😂
It's not a campervan, it's for the school run and shopping.
Yes, bit would be so good as a camper with updated software. 🙂
I can sell you my 91 T4 it is more user friendly😂
😂
Very funny now when watched afterwards. Felt like a complete idiot that night. 😂
how to figure out that the glory days of german engineering inventions are over? you need to trick your car with bricks... embarrising
VW sucks... buy a Tesla!
