Volkswagen Has Already Received 20,000 ID3 EV Orders

The total number of Volkswagen ID.3 reservations just passed 20,000 according to Juergen Stackmann, Volkswagen brand Board Member for Sales and Marketing.

Stackmann boasted that the pace of reservations for the special edition 1ST is higher than anticipated - the company expected to reach 30,000 by the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, while two-thirds was reached well over three months ahead of the show.

On the other hand, the first 10,000 was achieved in 24-hours, on May 9, which means that the average pace over the past 26 days is around 385 per day.

A reservation without money is worthless. Even a reservation with money is worthless because when a car promised at $35,000 never materializes the deposit has to be refunded.

To my understanding, they did require a 1000 Euro deposit, but of course fully refundable.

VW has NOT "received" 20,000 orders. They are pushing 20,000 out to dealers and calling them orders.

You keep saying that but that doesn't make it true. These are end customers that placed a deposit with real money. Yes, refundable. But not what you keep harping about this.

No one is going to bring up the 2012 Kia Venga's A pillars huh?

No one is going to bring up the front bumper copying the Kia Pop concept. If the Kia came out after this then Kia would be accused of ripping off VW.
