    I wonder how much of these sales would have gone to tesla if it didn’t have a well know ceo voicing his dodgy political views. I’m not saying Tesla and Volkswagen are similar quality for a similar price, but in the end they are competing for the same customers; it’s obvious Tesla’s decline in sales in because of Musk since it’s basically still the same cars on offer, but how much of these lost sales ended up at Volkswagen is what I’d like to know.

    “Gains in South America and Europe more than compensated for the expected declines in China and North America,” said Marco Schubert, member of the extended VW Group Management Board.

    In Germany, Volkswagen is a market leader with almost every second new electric car registered in Germany in the first half of the year from the company.

        If its anything like my ID4, 400km in 70km or less braking traffic, and like 250km on the highway. Even less if it is raining.

        I can’t imagine taking the buzz on a road trip if it is like that…
