Volkswagen Steps Up Tesla Challenge With $25 Billion Battery Buy

VAG is the company to watch in my view. They are firing on most, if not all, cylinders now.

Does anyone think VAG will put Tesla in the dust, global EV market share-wise?

p.s. we might need to retire the saying, “firing on all cylinders”.

isn’t it just the base version of ID4 that is out right now? I would wait for the top version/Audi variant of this car.

In Germany they have two variants with two different battery sizes.
