Telegraph is very anyi ev currently. looking into the actual information, one line is being stopped and it only effects the I.d.4 and the new I.d.7 yes, I.d.4 sales are slow, but as we have seen with the I.d.3, the original interior is rubbish, especially compared to its sister cars, the Q4 e-tron, Enyaq and Cupar Born. the I,d.7 is a brand new car and will be suffering from the normal gestations of a new car, parts shortages, changes to production process, parts being reworked, and modified. Makes sense to stop that line and get the build right, plus, you never know, perhaps an interior facelift if the I.d.4 Article is a typical anti ev rant, with half truths and assumptions.
Why when some don’t agree with or dislike whats written its anti this anti that?
Volkwagn as said themselves demand for its EV’s have not met their estimated targets and they are stopping production of the 4 and 7 and laying off around 300 staff. They did the same in 2020 and also layed f staff as part of a 7000 staff to go over the next years via retirement, redundacies, agency workers. So it mostly tallies with what telegraph has said.
You mention the id7 whils’t its a massive imrovement (but not class leading by a long shot) on their current carnation, Are they going to bring the design to the full line of EV’s they make I doubt it?
Volkswagon was one of the main leaders in bringing EV’s to the mass market in Europe but, China was leagues ahaed in BEV poduction and battery production, with them now recently starting to make semi solid state batteries something only Europe can dream of for a long time. Pehaps part of the reason they are allowing BYD and Catl to build massive giga factories.
