I don't get thesr automakers, who is this made for, don't they see that tesla is killing it with their largr batteries. Why can't they put a 600miles battery with 2 motors for awd, get some fake noises/feels when changing gears, get some smaller rims with more rubber and put the best brake system for an 18" wheel - which I think is the Brembo Sensify. Keep the physical buttons for important features for easy access, add a huge lcd panel for navigation and include carplay/android auto wirelessly - done deal. Make it cost as much as a full blown tesla model s and call it a day - you just stole 90% of the market. Add quick charging system and then you just gotta start building better charging stations.
Wait tesla is killing them and if it wasn't for Musk going full adolf, he could have had the universal people's car.
I don’t get thesr automakers, who is this made for, don’t they see that tesla is killing it with their largr batteries.
It is made for people living in places where you maybe don't need to drive 50 miles to go to the nearest mall... a car with 600 miles autonomy would be an overkill if you just need to drive about 10/20 miles a day while commuting.
Why can’t they put a 600miles battery
because they are useless for the target market.
If you don't need to drive that long distance for everything, you don't need big batteries with all the associate problems (weight, dimension and so on) that in the end don't give you any real bonus if not the fact that maybe you can recharge it less often. -
The manufacturing county of the world is manufacturing this car?
Dacia is a small Romanian brand with a single plant, so learning that some are rebranded Renaults from China is quite surprising.

There are currently no plans to ship this in the US.
Why would you ship a small car to a country in love with the biggest streetpanzers?

Ok mr reviewer
Why don't you tell us less about WV's strategy a more about how the car is.
Does it spy on you?
What kind of EULA will I need to agree to?
Does it have car play/android auto?
Does it have a 4G antenna to connect to VW servers even if I don't enable the feature?
Does it have an app?
In what ways is VW going to try to get subscription money from me?
How much does servicing cost?
How much will a set of brake pads cost?
Does VW support 3rd party repair shops?
Does VW try to lockdown parts and forbid 3rd party repairs?
Can it be remotely disabled? By me, by VW, by law enforcement?
What happens when the battery needs replacing?Does it spy on you?
All new cars do and this one doesn't even hide it, it's called "id everyone".

Ehhh I think it is. You should pretty much expect all of those things from any new car.
Consumers have spoken and they don't care about privacy, reliability or repairability.
Concept cars are, by definition, not actually finished. Nobody will be able to buy the car that was being shown at the car show. The car that will be on sale in 2-3 years will be a thematically similar but fundamentally different creature.
Things like the onboard computer software/hardware/data sharing model won't be defined yet. VW's first party servicing costs or the price of replacement brake pads are not defined yet. It'll be a job for a future car journalist to report on all those things once it's actually defined.

There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).
Not as snazzy looking though, that's what's really important! /s
Not as snazzy looking though
I doubt the production version will look that snazzy, I bet it'll end up being much taller and look more like this:

I see, I guess their single plant can't keep up with demand.

The wheels still scream "I'm an EV!" though, with that design that incorporates loads of flat area, but I'm glad the body design is moving away.
I can see why manufacturers wanted "EV style" - EVs were the new hotness and so the makers want to strongly telegraph the electric nature of the car in the design language. And I'm sure certain consumers also liked driving around in something that looks like an alien spaceship.
But that design gets old real quick. Personally I don't want crazy, I want classic shapes and a car that just looks like an ordinary car.
EV wheels done correctly actually lower the drag on the car improving efficiency. If they are done really well they also lighter with lower rolling resistance reducing that all important unsprung weight, which further helps efficiency.
Wheels even affect ICE cars, with larger heavier wheels impacting CO2 rating and economy for some models. The VW XL1 is an extreme example of this pushed as far as it could go at the time.

How do you know? What car would somebody buy if they cared about those things? There are no choices. There is not enough competition to have enough choices.

Regenerative braking is great for slowing down gradually, but when you really need to stop quick, it's your brakes that will do most of the work.
I wouldn't trust any vehicle with front drums in a panic stop.
Which EVs have front drum brakes?
Regen comes in all different strengths depending on what the automaker decides is appropriate for that car and the budget assigned to it. Cheap EVs like this one you can normally turn it off or on, and may be get a one pedal mode.
Something like the latest Taycan is pretty brutal with it set to its highest level when traveling at speed and that's just lifting off the throttle. I feather the throttle when using regen to adjust the level it gives me, otherwise it would be an awful experience for my passengers, bit like some one stamping on the brake every time you want to slow down. Using the throttle to adjust the regen is no different to using the brake pedal progressively once you get used to it.
Regen is there to supplement the brakes not replace them for emergency or other unplanned stops. Once you doing an emergency stop you are at the mercy of the ABS system anyway, as that will limit your stopping distance based on the actual grip you have at that moment in time.

this is not true. I am avoiding Hyundai-Kia for this reason

The Volvo EX30 looks good as well but its super plastic and low quality inside. This car will probably follow the same pattern since they need make money on these ones too.

I've been saying for years that if someone produces a sub €30k EV I will buy it. €20k is an instant buy.

Do you suspect me of a crime? Am I being detained?

They should produce a Beetle EV.
The Volkswagen Bug Zapper.

155 mile range, well that's a local commuter car, that's it. The masses need things besides a local commuter car.
