Volkswagen Steps Up Tesla Challenge With $25 Billion Battery Buy
VAG is the company to watch in my view. They are firing on most, if not all, cylinders now.
Does anyone think VAG will put Tesla in the dust, global EV market share-wise? p.s. we might need to retire the saying, “firing on all cylinders”. https://www.industryweek.com/leaders...on-battery-buy |

They better step up, checked out an iD4 this weekend, pretty lackluster on all fronts. I'm personally more a fan of the Mach-E and Ioniq5 right now, as well as anything Rivian and Lucid are doing.

isn’t it just the base version of ID4 that is out right now? I would wait for the top version/Audi variant of this car.

Also the idea behind removing the rear window controls in replacement with a touch button for the driver is by far one of the stupidest things I've seen in a car. It can't possibly save much money, its useless technology for technology's sake. |

In Germany they have two variants with two different battery sizes.

I'm sure they will sell, but I wasn't impressed, I think VW could really improve the car in a lot of areas, especially after sitting in an equivalent priced Mach-E. |
