Great... US cars finance a Nazi supporter and Chinese cars are spy machines on wheels... Maybe, German cars are superior in the end...
VW group is leading in Denmark now on EV, and is now almost twice as big on EV sales as Tesla!!
But the laugh gets better if you read on.
Because Skoda and Audi are closing in too, only 10-15% behind Tesla, and those are also owned by VW, and then just to cement their dominance, they also have Cupra with about half the sales of Tesla, and just for shit and giggles, they also have Porsche, which is the only luxury brand on the EV list besides Mercedes.
For January Model Y has dropped from being #1 sold model to 6th place!!! With WV group having 4 models that are more popular than Model Y!!
Model 3 is way down the list, so it's not just people waiting for the new model Y. Tesla sales are plummeting for real.
I'd kinda like to get a VW, but jeez they are boring as cars. Boring is sometimes good in traffic of course, but a difficult thing when trying to make up your mind at the dealership.
IDK what makes a car not boring for you, but you may like the Cupra better, it's more sporty than VW.

The Cupra Born VZ has the VW quality.
Personally I prefer Skoda Enyaq over the VW ID4.
But you could also just get a Porsche, I've never heard those being called boring.
