Really? How? AFAIK VW haven't announced a dollar price, or even whether they'll offer the ID here, but if you translate 29.9k Eur directly to US$ it would be US$33.6k at today's exchange rate. (The dollar figures in Bruce's article are AU$.) I thought the cheapest Tesla 3 was US$35k. No? Cheaper? Less than US$33.6k? Also, the VW is a hatchback-almost-crossover, and the Tesla is a sedan, so VW wins big on utility. That will probably matter in Europe, where hatch utility is still generally taken for granted, and possibly also in the SUV- and-crossover-addled US. As for range, if I'm not mistaken, Tesla rates the base 3 for a range of 350km (220mi) ?cycle?, VW at 330km WLTP, Renault at 400km WLTP. I don't know how Tesla's km rating compares to the lunatic WLTP rating.
