There are currently no plans to ship this (or the slightly larger longer range model) in the US. ๐

They've gone out of their way to avoid showing the hatch opened. From the pictures they DO have there, it appears the hatch opening area is borderline useless. My question is WHY?
Looks really good. Let's hope it's more reliable than their disastrous id4
You can tell it's a concept that isn't in production because it has big wheels with thin tires and no tire-to-fender gap.
Concept images are just for hype.
No, it isn't.
It might be, if Volkswagen actually come through on their promises, in 20whatever.
I love the style. Finally they're breaking their idiotic EV styling they came up with years ago. The ID.3 is just plain ugly.

155 mile range, well that's a local commuter car, that's it. The masses need things besides a local commuter car.
That's 2 days of the longest work commute I've ever had. If the owner drives their daily then comes home and plugs it in I doubt it will ever be a problem. I've never heard range complaints from anyone that actually owns an ev either. There's also a lot of people that have brought up road trips but none of the ones I know IRL have gone on road trips with their gas cars. I can't see it as much more than people just don't want to give up their cancer fumes.
It's totally fine if it works for people, but I regularly drive long distance, and limited range means planning everything around that.
I have been looking at aptera, which might have longer range due to being aerodynamic and efficient. That's what I want to see offered more for EVs. Problem is, it's not a reality until it's available for sale.
I commute 63 miles one way, every day.
