The specs are great for 2025. Let’s wait for 2027 when BYD has a better performing model for much less.

I am all vouching for VW’s electric efforts. I drove the ID Buzz which is great. I just wonder if they could sell competitively without tariffs in the EU.

No, of course they can't. You can't beat extremely cheap labor, government subsidized lithium, and devalued currency without tariffs.
