Washing the Buzz but then drying it 😠

Finally washed the Buzz after the road trip and learned something important:

Washing the giant toaster is the easy part.

Drying it? 😂

Every time I think I’m done, water comes pouring out of another crack, seam, mirror, sliding door handle, or the sliding door track from another dimension.

Dry it.
Open the door. Water.
Close the door. Water.
Move the van. More water.
Come back 20 minutes later… somehow MORE WATER.

At this point I’m convinced the Buzz stores emergency drinking water inside the body panels.

For those detailing their Buzz at home:

what compact blower are you using to chase water out of the seams, cracks, mirrors, badges, and sliding door tracks?

Looking for something small/easy to grab during the wash—not necessarily a giant shop blower.

Bonus points if it’s cordless and strong enough to defeat the Buzz’s seemingly unlimited water supply. 😂

1st Roadtrip: The Bay to LA

Took the Buzz from the Bay down to SoCal for my sons basketball tournament this weekend.

Overall, the drive itself was really good. We cruised around 73 mph, ran the AC most of the way in 88+ degree weather. The Buzz was comfortable for the family, and charging was pretty painless.

Having the Tesla adapter was a huge bonus. Between Electrify America and Tesla Superchargers, I never really felt like we were stuck with one charging option.

The biggest surprise was the flexibility of having the buzz with us. After the tournament ended earlier than expected, we randomly decided to go to Disneyland. 😂 We bought tickets that afternoon and ended up riding Indiana Jones, Pirates, Rise of the Resistance, Smugglers Run, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Big Thunder, Matterhorn, Buzz Lightyear, Star Tours and Space Mountain. Made memories as a family. It was worth it.

My takeaway: I’d absolutely road trip the Buzz again. Honestly, having our own vehicle is what allowed us to turn a basketball trip into a spontaneous family Disneyland memory.

Tesla adapter is 100% worth having.

Grease?

Has anyone else noticed what looks like grease dripping from the sliding door area on hot days?

I found this on the rocker panel just below the sliding door (see photo). It looks like cooled-down grease, and I’ve only noticed it after the vehicle has been sitting in the heat.

I’m wondering if it’s excess grease from the sliding door track or roller mechanism that’s melting and dripping out. Has anyone experienced this? Is it considered normal during the break-in period, or is it something I should keep an eye on and have the dealer inspect?

Curious if this is a common ID. Buzz quirk or if mine is an outlier.

Front License Plate

We’ve yet to put the front license plate on and no I don’t want to drill it.

Question:

it’s a cool looking van, will cops really get you for no front license plate? (Northern California)
Ok if I give in, what “no-drill” front license plate mount are you all using?

Thank you

After the wait… my ID. Buzz is finally here

My husband traded in my Audi e-tron and picked up the family mover! We got a great deal on the ID. Buzz and ended up taking the showroom model home.
The first stop was a friend’s shop where we had the top half wrapped, the black trim and wrap ceramic coated, the wheels powder coated white, and the windshield and front windows tinted. I love how it turned out.

The best part, though, has been the kids. They absolutely love it, and getting to haul their friends around while hearing everyone laughing in the back makes my day. I never thought I’d enjoy driving a “family van” this much, but here we are!
