In France, VW cars are usually bought by our local rednecks. I would be curious to know who buys those cars in other countries.

I have a VW ID.4.

In NZ they have no internet connection, no subscriptions, basic driver assist features, made in Europe, not made by Tesla, and are (were?) as cheap as BYDs, MGs, and Model3s.

I love VW Golf.

My Mercedes has subscriptions for things like locking your car from the app or locating it 😂.

At least that has SOME justification since there's a cellular connection and servers involved
