Hey all. I looked at a 2016 SEL today at a VW dealer. Since the batteries on these is the majority of the asset of the car I asked if they could provide me a battery status printout showing the health of the battery, how many KWH the pack has at full charge, etc. I was told they couldn’t do it which didn’t jive with my research. Dealer claimed they could only do a pass/fail test on it.

After our test drive it read 47 miles remaining at 75% charge, I think that maths out to 63 miles on a full charge. I know this is calculated on how it had been driven and climate control.

I don’t have access to OBDeleven, but my neighbor has a scan tool very similar to an xtool - could it be read on there? And is this dealer being truthful?
