Shame to see car makers still pi$$ing away money on EV’s
C’mon VW, it’s electric! Gimme a break.
It’s not because people don’t WANT them. It’s simply too expensive.
Now if was Gas or Diesel you have sold 30 or 40 ,LOL
I was interested in the bus, but it was so cavernous on the inside that I felt like I had nothing to hang onto while driving.
It has a huge wide sill when you step in, and the window frame is so far from the driver’s seat that you couldn’t rest your elbow on it unless you were about 7 ft tall.
Too bad, because I’m a big VW fan.
To old hippies.................
so they didn’t add a recording of the motor sounds of the Real one ,LOL
“The fully electric ID. Buzz ..., a starting price north of $60,000 in the US, and an underwhelming maximum range of just 234 miles ....
There are your main three problems right there, VW. I know it’s a novel thought but you might want to investigate what potential buyers want before you start building new models.
Yep. Throw a 150 HP four-banger in the back and I might be interested.
“The fully electric ID. Buzz...”
I wish there were a way to ‘short’ the introduction of hyped-up EVs.
Looks nice.
Said to myself, “I’d buy one!”
Then I saw “fully electric”.
No sale.
Hybrid?
Yes.
All EV... no.
They, and all the other mfrs, were coerced by the Obama then Biden administrations to go full tilt into building EVs of every shape and size.
“Build them and we will give you subsidies and tax credits.” they said.
SUCKERS!.....................
I would sure like to have my old 69 VW van back, a drunk driver wiped it out as I was on my way to an 11 day solo backpack trip, the VW was made for that kind of laid back lifestyle.
From what I’ve heard VW van/bus problems are that its much too expensive, its ugly, and not in a good way, and the electric thing has a short range.
$60,000. Limited range camper van.
I would hope the rust prevention is better than the original.
