Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video review you requested:
- The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 All-Wheel Drive is a popular vehicle in cold-weather states due to tax credits.
- This particular ID.4 had some minor issues right after purchase, including an airbag warning light and parking sensor lights.
- The US-spec AWD ID.4 has increased ground clearance compared to the rear-wheel-drive version.
- This car has Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season tires, which are OE-specific. It is street-oriented and labeled as a "light all-season" tire.
- There's very fast DC charging available in this model, reaching almost 200 kW.
- The car suffers from cold-gating, limiting maximum kW charging speed in cold temperatures because there is no manual preconditioning.
- The review highlights the cold-weather features that protect the battery pack from overcharging.
- The HVAC in the car is excellent. With the fan on, it is powerful enough to warm the whole car immediately.
- The ESP tuning in Traction mode is highly rated, offering a good balance for snowy conditions.
- Traction mode keeps the front motor engaged, providing a 50/50 power distribution.
- To get more slip and fun, the reviewer suggests avoiding steering adjustments, allowing the traction control to help with rotation through corners.
