Too bad they won't sell them in the US. We desperately need small affordable EVs that rival China's offerings. I wonder how easy it'd be to block the ID2's telemetry antennas.

There’s no excuse not to sell it in the US.
-
you'd have to get it here, too. no way this administration is gonna let that happen.

-
Trump's tariff war is a great reason not to sell anything here. Why bother sending all that bulky inventory here if any profit margin they make is taken from them? Increase the price and it is no longer affordable.

Price sounds good, finally. Now please start to offer some station wagons instead of SUVs.

Because they felt the EV Canyonero…er, Hummer would be more profitable.

Why do people continue to pedal this bigoted propaganda?
Is the minimum wage lower in China compared to the UK? Yes, across the board. But let's compare Guangzhou to Solihull. Minimum wage lower? Yes. Cost of living lower? Yes. Are you able to afford to live in an apartment and buy groceries based on what you make building cars? Yes.

I don't know why people would do that:
VW was considering closing up to three factories in Germany and had been calling on its workforce to accept a 10% pay cut.
At the time, the union was calling for a 7% increase.
The two sides have, however, agreed to cut more than 35,000 jobs across the country in a "socially responsible manner" by 2030, in order to save some €15bn (£12.4bn).
This was considered a win:
While the deal will also see a reduction in production capacity across its plants, it was celebrated by union leaders.

That's odd!
The French carmaker is turning to one of the few markets where battery-powered cars are selling well to access new technology and learn how to make EVs faster. The company has hired some 200 people in Shanghai
Expanding in China is a sensitive subject in France, where some unions are pushing back against management efforts to raise efficiencies via measures including limiting remote work to 2.5 days per week. Renault’s decision to develop much of its new Twingo in China has been criticised internally, and the manufacturer also employs about 3,000 engineers in India.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars CEO Thomas Schafer told Euronews the car maker’s operations "cannot continue as before".
“We have to get to the root of the problems: we are not productive enough at our German sites and our factory costs are currently 25 to 50 per cent above target.

I have no idea why people think labour costs are too high in western markets resulting in higher priced EV's

Looks like it has physical buttons.
