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.

They also have the ID.2all.

Does "ID" translate to something more interesting in German? Both names are atrocious.

Maybe not German, but certainly French, as in Citroën's ID19, the lower-cost version of the classic DS19. In that case, "ID" is pronounced the same as idée.
