they also added a restriction for the types of trips allowed; through traffic through the city center isn't allowed anymore. | How do they prove it's through traffic?

Cameras.
Not sure about France, but GB logs all the major routes (for terrorism) plus they get alerts if the same plate is seen in two places etc. or if a car is stolen etc. Also useful for charging congestion tax (no idea if it's the same network, but same tech).

I doubt it, what can Tesla benefit with Nissan. I think the fox con is more realistic

After being unveiled in 2023, the Vanwall Vandervell is finally ready to hit the road. From January 2025, this electric hot hatch will be available to order at a 'base' price of €128,000 (approx. £107,000) excluding VAT.
If the brand name reminds you of anything, you're not wrong, as it shares its name with a historic Formula 1 racing team. But beware, the references to a bygone era end there: underneath the new compact car's retro guise lies an ultra-modern technical base, the same as that of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Yes, that's right, the Korean 'super hot hatch' that has driven enthusiasts around the world crazy. https://www.motor1.com/news/749299/v...ll-2025-price/ https://vanwallvandervell.com/
The person behind it.
Colin Kolles (born Călin Colesnic;[1] born 13 December 1967 in Timișoara)[1] is a Romanian-German former team principal and managing director of the Hispania Racing F1 Team, previously holding a similar position at the team known under the names Jordan, Midland, Spyker and Force India from 2005 to 2008. He was an advisor to Caterham F1 and had a part in the unsuccessful Forza Rossa Racing project.

People with money wouldn’t touch Mercedes nowadays. Look at that EQE EQS line. They couldn’t give those away.
Their only viable products are the maybach line of sedans / suv and the G wagon. The rest is very very lame. Especially with the 4 cylinder AMG products.

They wanted $89k and like you say, it's not nearly nice enough to justify that. It's really too bad. If they could've sold this thing at a reasonable price I think you'd have a ton of these on the streets. It's a minivan without the minivan look.
They could've even sold this thing as an ICE or hybrid vehicle.

I think VW will release lower level trims of the Buzz after this first model year.

^^ that's what they said about model 3 cyber trucks, but they still haven't. I doubt VW can make it any cheaper, dem German Union women ain't cheap. They will just end up losing more money per car.
Is the eq e or s that bad? I've been noticing more ix. At least it's not as ugly.

If they made this dumb ass ID Buzz in gasoline engine they would have had a VW resurgence on their hands and demand would have skyrocketed. I would have bought one and most likely every other boomer in north america.
They could have charged the same amount of money but now it would been a useful road trip vehicle, i.e. what the original VW Bus was made for.

This is true, though I don't think the interior or packaging of it could be achieved in its current state with an ICE drivetrain and all the gas tank/plumbing/transmission space required.

Also then the floor wouldn't be so weirdly high because they wouldn't need to package the battery down there.
Or keep the floor that high, but gain a lot more ground clearance. Sell an offroad version to make money off the overlanders.

They would've had to start from the beginning with ICE in mind  .

the car is huge, the engine bay is huge. its all empty space.
They could have easily slipped in the VW workhorse ea888 and just turned up the boost a bit to compensate but nooooo... they purposely have to make it a lame EV.

New IDBuzz is useless. Save your money and buy a nice condition 2000 VW Eurovan camper. With $100K to spend there are much better options.
