Rumorpile: Volkswagen Adding A Smaller CC

Battery pack has not changed, so no weight gain from the battery pack. For those in fear of running out of battery, they then pay for the generator and gas tank so the weight there is the gain. I agree with you that with 404 miles of range, the Generator or what is being called EREV in the industry is not needed and waste of battery range due to the weight increase of the ICE motor / gas tank. Sorry to owners of older Teslas — your car won't be fully autonomous We'll I wonder how many folks will sue Musk / Tesla since he has always promised that all Tesla will be autonomous and now they have to replace the computer system and camera's of hardware 3 to go to hardware 4 to make them autonomous. Honestly this is still a lie since without LiDAR and other tools, Tesla will never be approved for level 5 self-driving. GM, Mercedes are already ahead of Tesla. Kia/Hyundai/Genesis has new L2+ and L3 modes coming. Tesla is old tech dying based on lies imho. Seems China is embracing the U.S. love of all things BIG BRICK SUV/TRUCKS. Chinese cars go American with 'brutish' SUVs and trucks

Yes, many auto's show little to no difference, but there are some that have issues from the start and depending on how one cares for the auto or lack of care, one might as well see the battery report to see what the current condition is. Always good to check. In regards to 400V, the lower cost EVs which are mostly used as commuter EVs and tend to be dominated with L2 charging allows for lower cost, so for those that cannot afford more expensive EVs, this is a solid solution.

Haven't you posted proof that there is little to no difference between fast charging and L2/1 charging?  Why do you get the point of it being a 400v EV? You always drag companies coming out with a new EV and not being on the latest 800v architecture? Why is this getting an exception?

900 miles of range is so unnecessary. There is so much wasted weight going on there for that kind of range. 

Have to say that the VW/Xpeng EV lineup is pretty sweet. The jetta EV is a solid brick on wheels SUV look that I like, the others are very nice, but I am not a fan of the Coupe rear approach to EVs.
