Garbage

Sad, but expected. They're not gonna make it if no one buys it, and the ID.4 had been outclassed for years. Glad we're still getting its successor, however. Hope it's built in Tennessee too.

The id4 was always garbage. VW needs to take EVs seriously

At least this confirms we'll still be getting the ID.4 Neo / ID Tiguan.

We need the id3 and id7

Thank God for that. We need more value EVs to fight Tesla. Production shift to Mexico, perhaps? Despite what you may think, Sheinbaum and You-Know-Who are a lot more cordial in their bilateral relations. Could mean VW ekes out of its current duty hell

The Atlas wasn’t already that plant’s primary model. Love it or hate it (I personally don’t find the Atlas compelling, especially as a VW enthusiast)…the Atlas is a big seller, while the Passat has been discontinued and the ID.4 is lackluster even within the challenging EV market.

Guessing it's going to be shared with the Audi E-Tron and the Scout / Rivian shared style platform

Would definitely help at least a non-zero amount in kick starting US production.
