    Reservations Open for Volkswagen ID.3

      ...Europe only for now...

    Drivers in Europe can now place deposits for Volkswagen's new ID.3 all electric vehicle.  This is the car that Volkswagen expects to compete with the Tesla Model 3 in the compact EV space. The target starting price for the ID.3 is under €30,000 which translates to $33,585 at the time of this writing. Initial vehicles offered will be special edition ID.3 1st. With an initial run of 30,000 vehicles, the ID.3 1st starts around €40,000 ($44.803) and comes equipped with voice control, navigation system, larger wheels.  There is also an ID.3 1st Plus that ads IQ Light and bi-color design while a Max adds a panoramic glass roof and an advanced heads-up display. 

    The 3 in the name ID.3 marks the vehicle's importance to Volkswagen's history as the most important vehicle after the Beetle and Golf, and also signifies the ability for VW to expand the ID brand in either direction.

    The entry level ID.3 can travel up to 205 miles on a single charge while mid-grade can go 261 miles and top-line models get as far as 342 miles. 

    Volkswagen expect production to start in late 2019 with initial deliveries happening in mid-2020. No word yet on when the model will hit US shores.

    Very Cool :metal:

    One does have to laugh :lol: as to why bother with giving a low price when that model is not available at launch but a much higher priced one is.

    Taking a page from Tesla with saying some day we will deliver the entry level priced $33K version but for now our actual break price is $44K.

    I wonder ? what the ID.3 Max is priced at?

    Also, if they want to go to a center screen only, then HUD should be standard on all trim levels.

    Polestar is doing the same thing with launch pricing.

    And a Golf starts at $20k... what are they smoking?  Plus they do the Beetle and Golf a GREAT disservice by placing this boondoggle in line with those two true icons.

      You need to learn about life before you could lecture me on what is real and what is fake.  You are still a child if you think that religions are fake.  Religions have a purpose is a clue to what Im eluding to.    I understand you... But like I had replied to you a while ago. a 2000 year old religion like the Greek Orthodox religion is NOT to be bunched up with this bullshyte. Its fine if you do not believe.  But not all religions are fake.  And I know you understand this difference well.

      Me too. On Sunday, my wife, kids and myself voted for our mayor. Early voting.  Nov.2 I think is the day of.  Montreal and its surrounding boroughs and suburbs and towns all have their municipal elections. My suburban town has issues, like all places, and I made it a point to invest a little of my time, my family's as well, to understand what my town's issues are, what our needs are and we made it a point to learn about the possible mayoral candidates and we voted for who we thought we best suit our town.  I preach what I pray.  It has been a looooong while since I voted for a mayor. When I last voted, I still lived in the city and voted for a Montreal mayor. It is easier to learn about big city mayors than it is to learn about suburban mayors. But...using the google machine, its easy to do nowadays. So I did. And taught a lesson to my kids about...democracy.

      It is good we are talking about it.  Politics and all. EXPOSING all the bullshyte going on. Even on an automotive forum. THIS is how the truth remains RELEVANT. And in the grand scheme of things of me posting burning American flags and being vulgar towards americans really means nothing OTHER than allowing a discussion of what is happening. Allowing another point of view, a point of view of a foreigner if you will, but a foreigner who's country has ALSO been affected by this madness, to be heard. Others that read this site as lurkers also get to see this point of view and have another TRUTHFUL venue to rely on DESPITE this site being an automotive site. THIS is one of MANY fights a population has to fight against oppression, fascism and injustices that the usa is facing.
