EVs laying dormant in the sun. How cute.
Make them with manual transmissions, manual transfer cases, crank windows, and without a bunch of electronic BS that eventually fails snd costs thousands to replace, if the parts are even available.

2) Make it simple
3) Make it reliable
4) Make it to where an average shade-tree mechanic can work on it
5) Make it NOT butt-ugly

The thing is, VW will still have to cozy up to China to get the rare Earth minerals to make the EV’s.
