I worried I was too hard on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz when I reviewed it this fall. Many people seem to like it, but I just couldn't figure out who it was for. After all, it's essentially a minivan, and every minivan buyer I know uses their van for road trips. It's hard and expensive to fly with kids, which is why no Midwestern Odyssey owner blinks in the face of a 10-hour drive. The ID. Buzz is not a good vehicle for that lifestyle. To prove it, TFLEV took one on a winter road trip. It was, in their words, a "train wreck." Much of it was due to the sorry state of charging infrastructure, but the ID. Buzz's paltry 231-mile EPA range figure left them with little room for error. Also in today's newsletter, the Honda-Nissan merger appears to be real. Plus we get a look on how humans control the Tesla Cybercab, and a whistleblower saga about VinFast. Check it out below. — Mack Hogan, Deputy Editor |
