Volkswagen has just released the ID.3 with LFP battery in China. What do you guys think?

Volkswagen thinks this is what the market wants? Chinese buyers care more about the overall experience, and VW has no idea how to provide that. It’s like comparing an old flip phone to a smartphone.

Yeah, but let’s be real, price matters most. SAIC-VW has already dropped the ID.3’s price from $25K to $15K in China over the past few years. And with the new LFP option, it could go even lower. I’d grab one if they hit $13K.

By the way, the ID.3 was designed from the ground up as an electric car. It’s not a gas car conversion.
