I’m mixed on this, as they now have the ID.3 Neo that sits right there in that segment, so they would have a big overlap. If the 800V, Rivian SW Golf will land the “Neue Klasse” moment for VW, they better do it right and a delay could be necessary to get everything right. They got so much wrong the first time around, now they have improved the models a lot but they will need a real step up. But moving it well past 2028 could also mean missing the critical moment and be just late. We’ll see I guess!

Hybrids = ICE

Whoever is paid to push this agenda should stop the NEV bullshit. No need to sweeten the picture by compounding EVs with hybrids, EVs are doing great in their own.

If those are the mods we’re talking about, I bet the scene is literally on fire 🔥

Is there a limit at how often my mind can be blown?!

You saw future US then (as in: the impression anyone traveling there will have in 20 years time, coming from an electrified world)

Who’d known that cheap cut-edge technology at low price points would enthuse the German buyer.

Technology isn’t just a big infotainment screen. I agree that they are mostly good enough, are extremely cheap, but people should try them and compare them with European counterparts to understand they are actually cheap and hugely less refined in drive quality and other “car” aspects, instead of thinking they have some magic going on where their technology is so far in the future.

They’re used to it by now, but always funny seeing a country so grossly fanatic with soccer don’t even qualify :) pure bliss

My mind is blown.

Hyundai Staria, Lucid Gravity, VW ID.Buzz to name a few

New levels of hideus! The side profile is a joke, front and rear ok. Rich people usually lack any good taste, well that interior is clearly tailored for them.

Nope, even squinting doesn’t help. I see Totoro on the left and a pretty well styled car on the right 😃

Mesmerizing!

I think they used dirty money for VK and then funded telegram with VK’s forced sellout to the Russian dictatorship, but now they are quite on their own? If I’m wrong, I would really like to dig deeper, maybe you have links to help me?

Wait what? Is it? ☹️

You’re right, the BMW iX3 will probably be a huge hit. I see a lot of them around BMW facilities and they’re wonderful cars, at a reasonable price point.

The only correct answer: EREV is marketing bs, as the Chinese NEV (New Energy Vehicles). Hybrids are the solution to no problems, just a rule appeasing patch for the reactionary car industry.

Make America Go Adrift

Oh yes let me bomb my eyes 165 times each second with those sweet addicting gacha gambling mobile games while the phone is melting!

It’s really just 1 set of tires for 60K km? Or do you swap summer/winter? If the former, I’m impressed, I thought higher torque and weight would mean higher wear, even if EV tires are obviously designed accordingly.

Might be if they have summer + winter sets
