The ID.3 won’t be sold in the U.S. Instead, Volkswagen plans...

 

Once again the US is the worlds red headed stepchild.

Luddites of the world...
Sorry about that!

Satan or Musk or something suddenly possed me and made me enter that statement.

A short ride on my Airhead BMW and it should go away, I hope.

I keep wondering when we acquired this surplus of electricity. Last I heard power grids were aging and unable to keep up with demand. And that was before they started shutting down coal plants.

“not just an elite group of wealthy, environmentally conscious consumers. ”

This could easily be rephrased as “idiots with too much money. “

Who the hell edits these headlines.

I would like to meet the Electric People. Rather tragic they only have one car. Seems a bet risky to bet the future of a global automotive powerhouse on the single car owned by an entire race.

No one has bought into the green craze than the Germans.They have committed huge amounts of capital into the manufacture and design of products. Thus far VW and the others have had no return on investment. The government has forced power companies to go green. Now the cost of electricity to consumers exceeds 30 cents per kilowatt hour. The cost is actually higher since taxes are being used to subsidize the power companies. Squandered capital cannot be recovered. Germany is on the brink of a recession. The Germans over the past 100 years have made monumental strategic blunders. They never seem to learn.

When they get there without regulations coercing the car makers (fleet CAFE and emissions standards), and massive refunds to get a core of buyers, I will be more impressed. Electric cars as a concept are no more futuristic than trains or windmills.

Bumper to bumper, the ID.3 is about as big as the Golf. But without an internal combustion engine hogging space up front, the interior is spacious, offering as much space inside the car as the Golf’s upscale cousin the Passat.

Only if you have really, really long legs.

If Volkswagen is so conscientious, why did they cheat on the diesels?

I have a diesel that has a range of 810 miles on the Interstate (I've done it twice) and can be "recharged" in about 4 minutes at any one of 40,000 "recharging" stations nationwide.

Why would I consider an electric vehicle even for a nanosecond?
