[@jxmsn.w]

They're clearly not planning for mass-market family van numbers here in NA. They ship it from Germany so it doesn't get US federal tax credits, knowing this is for the well-off who want a sterilized taste of their childhood. No, it's not competing with the Sienna. It's competing with the Rivian R1

[@angrygreek1985]

@@SnowCrashed1 I'd buy it immediately if it was actually $50k CAD or they made the camperized version of it like they said they were going to do, like the 'westfalia' version of the original VW Bus. But no, they didn't do that either and increased the price by an insane amount. The price is completely ridiculous and totally unwarranted for a vehicle like this. $85!? You could go buy an Ioniq5 N for almost the same price which is a completely insane ridiculously fun, powerful yet still practical car. VW really dropped the ball on this vehicle. It's not going to sell because it's just way too expensive.

The battery is the same size as the much smaller Q6 Etron, the electric Q5. And VAG EVs are notorius for their piss-poor efficiency to begin with. It'll get access to the Tesla Supercharger's soon and the charging speed won't get nerfed as much as the 800V Kia/Hyundai EVs.

[@4R8YnTH3CH33F]

The only vehicle that achieves your arbitrary requirement of 370mi on a 100kwh range is Tesla's and that is on paper only. This thing is not as aerodynamic as a sedan body shape it is going to take a hit in range.

I've only heard bad things about the ID 4 personally. There is one in my area with a bad DRL already that would probably cost 1000 bucks or more to fix. Didn't give me much confidence in its long term quality. Sat in the current Tiguan and that also put doubts in my confidence about current VWs. But good luck

[@MugatuJag]

@@baronvonjo1929 interesting I’ve never seen a bad DRL, however 90% of Honda Accords 2016 and 2017 has bad DRL’s, and so many model 3’s and model Y, and S’s. Bad DRL is a minor problem. The problems I hear about are people that dislike the infotainment , which is not necessarily a problem. It’s a learning curve…. Every model 3 I have driven and Polestar 2 has incurred black screens which I have to reset, as well as malfunctioning rear cameras and other issues.. and both of them had noisy drive units.

Please stop telling people that an electric car's high voltage battery will "eventually" need to be replaced - the battery will more than likely outlive the car. Plenty of studies out there have the data to back it up. Batteries today don't eventually "die" from use, they just loose range over time, but you won't need to spend $50k or whatever to replace it. That news article you flashed up was for a damaged battery, not an "old" one. And charging to 100% on a DCFC is a waste of time - stop at 80%. Other than that, love the review!

4:12 Long Wheel Base is also available in Europe. However you seem to be getting the bright blue (two tone) which is currently not available in Europe… and the AWD in Europe is called GTX with a different (dark) interior and different bumper…

11:55 Actually US salaries outpaced inflation. Thats part of the reason for the inflation lol.

[@puckplayer219]

The CHEAPEST one is still $60kUSD? I actually really like what they've done with this car/van/bus thing, but there are 20 other cars I'd rather buy at that price point.

Volkswagen will start wheeling and dealing once they start sitting on the lots

I'm 23 and this is awesome. But I've had desktops and floppy disks (never used them tho). I'm pretty old school I guess.

[@Freakishd]

Love the looks, inside and out

[@MrMlbfan6]

This is cool just needed more pop with the colors in the interior ❤️

[@Carfan678]

The options In Europe are better they have a few more color options that match the exterior better for example you can get this white with teal accents rather than the orange and it would match this specific exterior color

[@MrMlbfan6]

@@Carfan678 wow we always get the wack options

[@Carfan678]

@@MrMlbfan6 They also sell a "higher performance" model as well called the I.D Buzz GTX

[@UncleYohta]

that visor test fail was certainly a buzz kill.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Aaaaaaahhhhhh

They just broke out some more MARIJUANA and the buzz was quickly restored.

Moneywise, for a long trip with 5 to 7 people rent a Chrysler Pacifica minivan with a V6 engine (not the more unreliable hybrid). The more expensive Toyota Sienna gets better gas mileage but does not drive as well, and is unlikely to be available as a rental. Any minivan is too much money if you do not need the extra seats and extra cargo space.

[@weirdshibainu]

Yep. Did a 1,000 mile road trip/back packing excursion with a couple of friends. Rented the Pacifica. Drove it like I stole it. Doors must have opened and closed a thousand times in the 2 weeks on the road.

Other than the grill it’s freakin awesome. Two tone FTW!

[@garrettingle6728]

It’s the exact same color combo as my vyvanse

[@gregkramer5588]

I do not think you have to change your battery if you baby it. Should still have 80% range after 300km.

[@gas-o-meter]

Nah its just cool, Im 20 and really dig it!

[@bambu8]

Towing range is unlimited. As long as you tow a generator.

[@cbotten106]

Yeah, that will work.
