And it will probably sell poorly.
- According to the article, it won’t qualify for the federal tax incentive, so yeah… probably.
Waiting for the pop-top camper edition: https://www.carscoops.com/2023/01/vw-id-california-coming-to-electrify-your-camping-trips/
This thing has taken entirely too long to come to market, and there’s no reason to make a separate version just for the US.
- I want the longer wheelbase of the NA variant and the bigger battery that goes with it. In fact, I’d like a bit bigger battery than what’s on offer (given the charging topping out in the 170kw range) to be able to legitimately road trip with it. 5hr drives turn into 7 with a smaller battery and lousy charging curve, and the infrastructure in my neck of the woods isn’t great for where we want to go as a family.
