[G. David Felt]

According to Electrek web site, VW will open up their reservation system in September. Online reservations for the ID.4 EV will only require a $100 deposit. VW production of the ID.4 for European and Chinese markets has started and is on size to compete with the Tesla Y small CUV. The auto is expected to have about 250 miles of range in base form and start at $40,000. 300 miles plus for the top trim version. Production for the North American Market will start in early 2022 at Chattanooga Factory upon the construction completion of the assembly line and battery production plant. The auto has a .28 drag coefficient.

Thanks to a Chinese web site not being secure, actual production models have been caught before the official introduction. A muscular clean CUV EV is seen here and close to the Concept.

Nice. Very normal looking.  The side contours and profile remind me of the current Escape.

Normal, but with a case of slight bloat. Too much black plastic. Pass.

Agree that there does seem to be allot of plastic. I wonder how long before they become painted or if that is an option.

I also think to get auto's to weigh less, that high strength plastic will become a much larger use in the auto's.
