    China’s leading the way (along with several US startups such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid).

    Drove VW’s ID.4 and was extremely disappointed given the price point. Nearly $50k, manual seats, smallish screens for an EV, sunroof optional, power liftgate optional, etc. plus the whole crappy dealer experience. The game has changed and I’m not sure that most of the traditional automakers have figured it out.

      I meam most of them are starting to pull out of the ev game. Plus its peoples preference, like i couldnt stand getting a tesla. I hate touchscreens in cars, its asinine.

        the launch edition ID3 only had speakers in the front, none in the back. This is a 40,000+ eur vehicle and it was the special edition launch model.
