Volkswagen has not yet disclosed pricing.

Most important fact not disclosed yet. I doubt it can compete with slaveworkers from BYD.

Does it switch to a diesel engine whenever it detects it is not on a test bed?

I applaud the move to physical buttons and switches but it does look like an uglier ID.3.

(Also, I see that sensible amount of skeuomorphism is becoming a thing in UI again. About damn time.)

Yeah but will it break?

Enough with the fucking screens already.

Just say screen buttons that look like real buttons ^poindexter^

I also mean areas of the screen looking like panels with physical gaps between them instead of rounded rectangles that float in an abstract space.

In case you thought that my "physical buttons and switches" refers to the screen: It doesn't. The ID.3 Neo has what appears to be a row of rocker switches below the screen and the buttons on the steering wheel look like actual push buttons.

(Edit: The ones below the screen are also push buttons.)

That's a big improvement over the last ID.3 where all of those were capacitive touch areas on flat surfaces. That made the off-screen buttons impossible to use without looking at them and, with the ones on the steering wheel, sometimes led to accidental inputs.
