That name "ID. EVERY1" makes me wonder if it's affordable due to massive amounts of personal data being collected and sold about drivers and passengers.

It'd be a bold move after the lawsuits and data breeches Volkswagen has faced.

Haha I had the exact same thought when I saw the title.

That said, the new car looks very much like an "electrified" Golf, which is one of the first cars I drove, and I have fond memories about it. The new car may succeed if they target the same audience, and remove all those fancy user-tracking "features".
