I’m mixed on this, as they now have the ID.3 Neo that sits right there in that segment, so they would have a big overlap. If the 800V, Rivian SW Golf will land the “Neue Klasse” moment for VW, they better do it right and a delay could be necessary to get everything right. They got so much wrong the first time around, now they have improved the models a lot but they will need a real step up. But moving it well past 2028 could also mean missing the critical moment and be just late. We’ll see I guess!
