BERLIN - Volkswagen said on Sunday it will build a fully electric sports utility vehicle for the Chinese market from 2021, entering a segment dominated by Tesla’s Model X. The new SUV is the latest in Volkswagen’s aggressive roll-out of electric cars in China, where zero emissions vehicles are given preferential treatment by authorities.Reporting by Edward Taylor; Editing by Alexander Smith
It will likely not be able to compete with the base model 3 or Y. That's what happens when you sleep on innovation. 10 years behind Tesla, at least
By the way, do not forget the mission of Tesla: to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible. Having said that, there are no rivals, only collegues 🤠
Will they lie about their omissions though ;-)
Sorry but the wake up call for VW was a bit too late. To be precise 7 years too late. In 2021 today’s Tesla Model X will be a nostaligic version of what is waiting in two years.
