VW has created a huge EV platform. You won't see it as much in the US but in Europe they'll probably unleash 40 models covering every category in the next 2-3 years.

I've tried 5+ times to put a deposit on an ID.4 but their site won't take my deposit (I work in fintech and e-commerce, I tried many times, on different machines, using different cards -- their workflow for AWD models seems to have a reversion).

I know they're tempering their US launch ambitions a bit, but I wonder if they're seeing lower numbers because something's not working with their reservation system.

I'd hope they have some site monitoring in place to find this error and fix it soon, if that's the case :-)
