The production version of the ID. 2all will be built atop the second-generation version of VW’s modular “MEB” electric vehicle platform. The current version of MEB powers the, as well as a dozen other vehicles from Audi, Skoda, and others from brands owned by VW Group. The long wheelbase and short overhangs of the ID. 2all are also found on the ID. Buzz, the automaker’s electric minibus that is expected to go on sale in the US in 2024.
VW says the ID. 2all represents an entirely new design language, with an emphasis on “likeability and enthusiasm,” which will inform its future electric lineup. And while the exterior of the ID. 2all does look similar to the discontinued VW Golf, the interior is fairly distinct from the company’s current crop of EVs.
Concept car... probably had to be pushed into place to take picture... interview with head tesla designer indicated that their 25k vehicle design is basically complete... tesla didn't show design as to avoid Osborn effect. investor day announcement that factory construction…
Half way down the page: 'Though just a concept, VW said it expects to put the vehicle into production starting in 2025' Do better, Verge. Chevy Bolt can be had for even less $$$. It's also front wheel drive but isn't a concept car from the guys who brought us Deiselgate.
I’m just saying, the first brand to figure out electric cars with built in solar panels/garages with solar-powered chargers is going to significantly change the automobile industry and wipe out their competition.
tak23oda I’ll believe it when it ships but this is great the space is heating up in competition
Same article.
And in doing so it is compared to Tesla and their name is mentioned again, free of charge.
Two years after the Volkswagen Group showed basically the same car with a different outer shell, the Cupra Urban Rebel. And way after the VW eUp that was available for 20k€ (minus 9k€ incentives)
Tesla can still win this race, we will see in 2025!
No. They unveiled a fucking concept car ! Do your fucking job and get your facts straight !!!
Not heard of the Dacia spring?
'Affordable' **£25k**
Does It has autopilot?
Just another concept car, that will likely never see daylight. 2 yrs ago VW told us they dominate Tesla in 2023, wonder if that is happening?
I dont like the electric field readings on ev cars too dangerous for health
Two weeks after Tesla announce their intentions to build a more affordable EV VW 'beats them to the punch'
Ok, let’s think that they will be able to mass produce this vehicle at the same price as announced, will it have OTA updates? or you’ll need to bring your car to VW so they can plug a USB to update it just like some ICE vehicles, and charge you for it?
Tesla has been beaten by everyone theses last years tbh, F150 & Rivian have been on sale for a while now, Model Y took years to be shipped when it was just a different bodystyle for the 3
The people’s car to the rescue. 👍
tesla will make a car like that and sell it for 35k
What a boring design… Do VW have any imagination at all?!
With how inflation is going that'll be the same as a pack of chips in 2025, bargain!
Oh man, their gonna sell the shit out of these!
Finally someone steps up. EV adoption is really based on affordability and accessibility to charging.
Headline: VW bears Tesla to the punch with affordable car…. Article: The car doesn’t exist, it’s a concept. you are such sore losers lol
yes, but in 2025
It’s under $100?
😔i thought i tried to tell elon months ago...still theres time remember the shape elon hatchback!!!! with spoiler and double-solar glasstop....flip mirrors(they are just soooo cool) but thats the sports model...the base is just basic.
reckless come on man. VW is getting smoked globally right now. Introduces a car, it may never make, after just canceling their big push to a new EV platform like 60 days ago. And the headline is “beats Tesla” (small print, in having a PR department)
Just a concept,might start producing in 2025, that's a big LOL 😂
3mile range..
2025?
okay?
I also beat my enemies with imaginary weapons on a regular basis.
So we're now declaring winners based on whoever releases their non-pencils-down design first? Also amazing that it's Tesla's fault for everyone else having inaccurate expectations of an event '...in which Elon Musk was expected to show off his own affordable EV but didn’t.'
It's a concept car...
There's a 0% chance anything like this comes anywhere near the US, though. VW all but canceled the Golf here and doesn't sell the next-size-up ID.3 in the US. This is even smaller than either of those cars (in interior space; this does have a long weelbase).
This is embarrassing. A headline pitting a VW concept car against some Tesla vaporware for the title of “affordable electric vehicle”. All the while ignoring the Chevy Bolt which has been selling for $26,500 for the past year.
Chevy already did that.
They gonna have the same update issues as the ID4 💀
Affordable electric car = short battery range and shit quality build
Hmmm a VW Polo sized EV… Tesla is aiming for a C category hatchback for the same price
I definitely misread this as 'VW beats Tesla WITH a punch...' 🙃
