Now boost the I'd.buzz range.

Cute, let me know when they make an EV worth buying....

Headline is just a straight up lie. There's no "battery breakthrough". It's just an extremely efficient design, with all the compromises that go along with it.

Just as practical.

50 mile range without the dieselgate style software?

What an irrelevant clown comment to make. 🤡

The brand with 4 models in the EU EV top 20 doesn't make cars worth buying!?
And VW group has 7 models in top 20, that means more than a third of the cars in top 20 are from VW group!

Numbers from July:

I personally own a VW ID.4 Pro with 77kWh battery, and it's the best car I've ever owned.
And the new ID Polo in the normal street version is getting raving reviews everywhere.

You may not like VW cars, but you can't simply state they aren't worth buying, because clearly the people that actually buy EV cars disagree.

Not true, this is an actual usable car:

Engineers could have pushed things further by placing the ID Polo on a crash diet, but the company wanted to keep it as close to the production model as possible.

Somebody drank the Kool-Aid.

So they basically tried turning their Polo into an Aptera 😅

What production model?

More like an EV version of the Volkswagen XL1

The range does not come from the battery, it's the aero shape and high geared motor.

Except this is real, and a car, not a mobility scooter.

VW doesn't exactly make reliable vehicles.

"Real" as in concept car that will never be produced, while the Aptera is actually planned for production 🙄

Ah, I didn't know you could actually buy that one (for >100k).

Another weird claim, considering that they have the lowest rate of faults in mandatory safety checks in several countries.

Obviously the one stated, the VW ID Polo.

TBH lot of Germans worship this remnant of the Nazi mobile. I'm so glad that these fucking Nazis are finally going to go bankrupt

Another baseless claim showing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, you are just blabbering words that have no meaning.

I am not German. You on the other hand are a bigot discriminating on the basis of nationality.
Disgusting. 🤮

Is this still your nationality? No wonder you're offended

I’m so glad that these fucking Nazis are finally going to go bankrupt

That has nothing to do with what happened generations ago. That's like calling all Americans war criminals because USA is committing war crimes in Iran. It's actually worse, it's like calling all Americans 3 generations in the future war criminals because of what USA is doing today.

It's the guilt by association fallacy.

Is this still your nationality? No wonder you’re offended

I just wrote I'm not German, I'm not even from a German speaking country.

Just because you're not a German does not mean that you're not a Nazi. And you bet that the family that runs it and the rich fucks that make money off this company are supporting ADF to bring back a Nazi ideology.

It also doesn't mean you are not a vegetarian.
Your logic is completely in the woods. How old are you? 9?

Ok buddy. Keep enjoying the fucking propaganda that these Nazis spread to you like it's something that's going to actually benefit you. News flash it won't it's just a fucking gimmick, he's Nazi fucks just want Total Control

Also you're the one that is defending a corporation that has a history of committing genocide. And today that same corporation is still committing genocide through Israel

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.

I never do.

I wonder how those wheel cover things would work in the snow?

the Aptera is actually planned for production 🙄

since 2009. 17 fucking years and simps are waiting....

What does safety checks have to do with reliability? VW has been tanking in sales because they make shit cars.

also, what was AUDI up to back then?

Those American stats are bullshit based on self reporting, they are not apples to apples.
Numerous state controlled legally mandatory checks show that VW is the most reliable brand.
Here is the one from Denmark:

Similar tests from Germany, Netherlands and Sweden show the same.

As Saab found out in the sixties, very poorly indeed, they promptly redesigned to get rid of those.

I'll never understand why people comment on articles they don't read. They're just wasting everyone's time, their own included.

I'll never understand why people waste their time reading articles with a blatant lie right in the title?

I read the original content directly from VW.

If there's something more you need explained, feel free to ask.
