No extraordinary details to reveal here.

The test engineer was working so I tried not to bother her too much, but she DID confirm that this unit WAS built here in Chattanooga.

The "gun-metal gray" color is what immediately caught my eye. (It's the color I would have FAR preferred to have purchased for my own ID.4 had it been available.)

I am still happy with the blue, but if the grey had been available I might have gotten it

Can you imagine having that job? Just drive around all day, charge, eat, sleep, repeat..
 
LOL ... I suspect the job entails plenty of the more "mundane / tedious / less-fun" tasks too.

(e.g. Test Plan Development and Report Writing)

No doubt - the whole point of this is to log every little glitch and fault. I imagine that every charge session gets logged as well.
 
I'd have been interested in what the redesigned interior looks like. :)

Also, given that production has stopped at Zwickau, does that mean production in Chattanooga gets delayed as well?

I have placed an order for an id.4 because I wanted to get in line and got an email this morning saying basically that because of the situation in Ukraine, VW has no idea when I will be contacted to confirm my order and secure a build spot (the part where you put an additional $400 down).

My read of the VW electrification plan is that ID.4 production is now underway in a plant in Emden - convenient for Ro-Ro ships at that port city to take export production to the VW port facility in Houston.

I found it interesting that the Zwickau plant was where the Trabant was built in the DDR (GDR) days. A fine example of a central planning people's car.
