I had a 1st edition ID.4 and miss it so much, been waiting for the ID.7 but I don’t think they’re bringing that to the US anymore. TBH it’s a lot of car, too much for me anyway. Never had many issues with the ID.4 that VW didn’t cover, but I sold it because it was having some issues with the displays shutting off on hot days. Big safety concern, and I still don’t know if they ever came up with a fix.

Gone are the days of smaller cars. If they sold the ID.3 here I’d buy it instantly.

There aren’t many good EV sedans here unfortunately, which I could imagine makes it harder for some Tesla owners to find another vehicle to switch to. Elon, fossil fuels or an overpriced luxury EV SUV seem to be the only real choices.

For now I’m making do with my sister’s old Leaf but am going to need to find another car soon, and it sure as hell won’t be a Tesla but I’m at a loss as to what. Take away the shitty Nazi CEO and the cars are (at least spec-wise) a good value. Not enough for me to overlook the rest of their faults, but enough to be frustrating when looking literally anywhere else.
