The VW ID.3 was available for $18k in China for a limited time. Meanwhile the current price in EU is around under 40k€. It seems VW won't be able to use EU market to subsidize their sales in China.
I don't know about the EU, but in the US, they still only want to push the high-end, luxury bullshit EVs, so yes, lower the quality of the cars. I don't need heated seats. I need to get from a to b.
