Finally have decided to make the dive in to the EV world and replace my truck for my commute and work. It has been impossible to find either vehicle to test drive, but I have been able to view, sit in, and review the interior workings. This is mainly a commute, but also used for a family of 4, so the room is attractive on both vehicles. I am a tall person, so any of the smaller vehicles or low to the ground vehicles, are pretty much out.
Anyone driven both or owned both that you could give me some feedback? My initial breakdown looks a little like this: (mostly based on reviews as I have not driven either)
Cost: MY - $68,000 ID4 AWD Pro S $53,000 (approximately $15k difference)
Rebate: Possibly both, depending on the new law. If I could still get the VW this year, it would
come with a $7500 tax rebate
Software and charging: Tesla
Fun Factor: Tesla probably
Higher Resale: Tesla probably
Range: MY 330 vs VW AWD Pro S at 255. From tests I have seen, the MY seems to fall quite
a bit short of their number, where the VW comes very close to theirs, so there may
only be a "real" difference of less than 20 miles?
Road comfort: VW from everything I have seen
Fit and Finish of Panels: VW probably
Fit and Finish of Interior: VW probably
Free Charging: VW for 3 years
Seeing all of the above, it is hard to justify paying 28% more for the MY, but part of feels the MY may provide a more "current" car over the years. I will be driving 25,000 miles a year, so a 3 or 4 year hold trade. Any thoughts from any of you that have experienced both?
