Finally, an explanation for why a couple of 2020+ VWs I recently rented felt so laggy. I couldn’t tell when I held a button down enough for it to be considered pressed and when I didn’t without looking at the dashboard. Some of my touches seem to have been rejected, no matter how long I massaged the capacitive button. I just didn’t use any of the steering wheel buttons in the end. If they would have replaced anything crucial like the lights switch or indicators with those buttons, I would not have been able to drive the cars. I also saw some discussions online that describe these buttons in terms like “three buttons 35% broken”. That’s exactly how I would describe the experience. 1/3rd of the time, no amount of button massaging got them to register a press. In two separate Tiguans. Some of their buttons also seem to work better by swiping on them than tapping them. I’m not sure what VW is doing.
