This might vary between markets but at least here in Germany, their pricing is very competitive. You can currently get a base ID3 for 29,760€. There are very few if any similar sized EVs for that price. Software is okay, not the sleekest you can get for sure, but it does its job. They're the second most successful EV brand after Tesla here. I assume if you've never thought of them as something you'd want to buy, you've also never driven one?

I have never driven one. Also ID3 is not available here so only I D 4 which is not very competitive here in the USA.

Need the battery plant in North America to go online before we get proper VW EVs on this side of the pond.
