The Tesla is definitely the more stately design with the widest market. Its the only one in this group where you can feel equally comfortable driving to the flea market as you do to the symphony. The VW, on the other hand, just looks pure Gen. X. It reminds me of a Disney ride attraction with all the plastic cladding. It looks build purely for utilitarian purposes rather than luxury.
As for the white steering wheel, that's just plain for display purposes only. Some things just aren't made to be light colors and a steering wheel is one of them. Not sure I like the -aftermarket- tacked on display either. Also, cup holders should always have covers. That way you get dual use out of the space instead of just a gaping hole when there's not drinks in them. Especially the armrest in the rear, where the cup holders space makes it useless as an arm rest. A gaping omission where a simple flip down cushion would fix that.

Before the new BMW design one could have argued that the kidney shaped grill was part of their design and had been forever. but now. what were you doing BMW. What is with the minimalist interiors. The tesla interior sucks. Give me S class level comfort. Germany should do german interiors and AUDI's are hard to beat in that department. Ive also said it before. if VW group decides to go after tesla. they will catch them. They spend 14 billion dollars a year on R&D after all. Thats alot of engineer salaries. They could also pretty easily head hunt telsa engineers they want. or would you be willing to say no to a 3x payraise to move companies. i wouldnt

It's roughly the same size and shape as the Tesla Model Y, and the base model will be cheaper than the cheaper Model Y, but with slower charging, slower acceleration and slower top speed, I think when both cars are freely available, I think more people will end up buying a Tesla -- especially after VW runs out of Federal Income Tax Credits in the US. Also, if Tesla pushes down the cost of its batteries, they will be able to lower the price of the Model Y, making the value proposition for the VW harder to convince buyers of. My guess is the people who choose the VW are Germans and people who have a love affair with VW around the world.

Expect a year for Matt to review the Enyaq as he did with the Skoda Scala as I don't think he quite likes Skoda's from his reveiws on them, exception to the Kodiaq Vrs he reviewed tho he still advised us all in small words to buy diffrent and waste your money on something else to keep your naughbours content as it seems badge snobbery for VW owners still excists --- I bet Matt has a fleet of Skoda's he owns at his home that he parks each one outside his mum's house just so he doesn't get stick from his naughbours or friends Lol -- Oh Matt ' you are so funny lad! --

The exterior of the ID. 4 looks great, not so convinced by the interior, like the ID. 3, I think it looks a bit cheap and toy like, compared to a BMW i3, also I really don't like the current fashion for gloss black, which is not practical for a car interior. The drive train is not as advanced as the Tesla, but that's the same for any non-Tesla, their battery and drive tech is 5 to 10 years ahead of pretty much everyone else. Overall though, well done VW for embracing the future and not just hoping it will go away if you ignore it (Yes Ford, I'm talking to you.

there are no needs for long range electric vehicle, when there are diesel engines, electric vehicles should be for city ''home-work-home''. everyone got diesel long range SUV, and small city car for work-who one do not even heat up till you get to work or back to home. electric 100km range small vehicles are perfect city cars, low cost and affordable to everyone to clean city from smog. what was before beetle or golf today, and future is ID3

Because of over population we all now have to consider zero emission vehicle. We can't all emit pollution anymore like the good old days when there wasn't so many people doing the same. I guess it really comes down to stop breeding- so we can all drive Hummers or keep overpopulating so we have to drive zero emission, we are simply at that tipping point, we can't keep breathing in other people's fumes.

Beginning of video opinion: I'd take the iD. 4 over Y b/c range is good, price is reasonable, support other automakers trying to break into the EV market.
We'll see if anything changes over the course of 8 minutes and 54 seconds
After video: not a fan of the gear shift. That's it (when referring to -reasonable price- I meant the more normal spec ones that aren't available yet, just to be clear.

VW have gone way off the deep end with using more and more plastic recently. As a current owner who has owned 4 VWs in 20 years I won't be buying another purely for this reason. The quality is being comprised. If I want a sea of hard plastic inside and out I will buy a cheaper brand. I love the design but I don't pay a premium for a non premium product.

Just to remind people these advertised ranges are in IDEAL conditions you will never have so, cut 50 miles + they test these with a skinny 45kg pilot, not a normal guy nor with other passengers with baggage and with all the features used (Climate/Radio. etc, add to this that you will barely make 200 miles in Winter and you have the real numbers: )
