Volkswagen's North American Public Relations Director Mark Gillies told The Drive on Friday that the report about the ID.Buzz California being delayed is "incorrect," citing colleagues in Germany.

The comment at the end from VW says the entire article is incorrect, lol.

I would be honestly shocked if this headline is true. Large corporations, while often making stupid mistakes, still employ basic systems engineering with requirements flowdown and tracking. If gross vehicle weight wasn't one of the key performance parameters when designing the van, this would be the dumbest of mistakes. If the Hummer EV is fine for normal drivers, this thing would have to be built like a tank to top that.
