What gets me is why lower the ap for the id3, which makes it a very good choice if you are in the market for a EV, for a month or so, then remove it.
Odd isn’t it. This is why I’m not 100% convinced that the cull is entirely down to the chip shortage, because the issues facing most manufacturers have been the same for many months now.
I’m not sure, but i can recall quite a few cars removed from the scheme. Also, it’s a fluid situation – the chip shortage directly relates to order numbers. The more orders, the more the shortage gets exacerbated.
The reason the ID3 got such a low AP is simple (much like the Kona) – car manufacturers heavily profit from selling EVs. I don’t entirely understand why the ID4 gets removed, since i can’t imagine it being a great selling car (i might be wrong, but i really doubt it).
