Maybe was tested, anyway he also visited a vaccine company (the one Trump wanted to buy)!When did he do the mandatory two-week quarantine for travelers from the US?

VW’s second ‘ID’ model claims up to 323 miles of range
Man.... I get that the auto companies are struggling and especially now since standards changed and the traditional brands dragged their feet, but I see this type of platform sharing allow more loss of what made each brand likeable be owners. Ford feels like Ford, VW feels like VW.

Ford are building on that platform tooI’m quite annoyed that the ID.3 is not coming here. Yay, another freaking crossover.

Not an entire white interior. A white steering wheel. You know, that thing you're touching all of the time.I can't imagine ever owning a car with a white interior. Especially things like the steering wheel, stalks and gear shift. I realize (or hope?) there are other colors to choose from.
I use mine all of the time. When I'm on city streets, I let it brake more aggressively. Enough to set off the brake lights, and even slow me to a stop. It's driving with just one pedal. When I'm on the highway, I've got it set to it's lowest setting so that I can coast when I need to if I start catching up to someone a little bit. It's just a different way to drive. In an EV, letting the engine braking do it's thing whenever it can helps increase range, and reduced brake pad wear.I don't know why reviewers keep talking about control over the regen, I've never felt like I would want to adjust it with paddles or whatever. My right foot does that.
I’m not saying I don’t use the regen braking, I just have it set to maximum and feather it with my right foot. I’ve never wanted to fiddle with the setting in another way.I use mine all of the time.
