    Any links you'd recommend?

    I think it looks basically like a Golf except for the weird plastic hood bubble by the windshield. Can't unsee that once you notice it!

    E.g.:

    I think it looks pretty good. Not necessarily exciting (like most VWs), but fresh. The proportions and wheelbase are quite different from the Golf. Similar to the Model 3, it seems to be more spacious inside than it looks from the outside.

    VW Says ID.3 Software Issues Are Now A Thing Of The Past | Carscoops

    "
    The Volkswagen ID.3 battery-electric hatchback is arguably the carmaker’s most important new model in decades. However, its ascent from concept to production form has not been uneventful, leaving a trail of casualties in its wake.

    The German brand went as far as to replace its software division boss over serious software issues that plagued the ID.3 in pre-production. VW then went on to build the EV despite some of these issues persisting – they actually started deliveries with certain features disabled.

    Well, all that changes now as VW is finally ready to deliver the ID.3 to European buyers with fully functioning software, spokespersons for the brand told Autonews Europe."

    Good to see this.
    But it does reinforce Tesla's advantage in software. They are 5-10 years ahead.
    Also shows that it's not that simple for the majors to just start making EVs and kill Tesla as many people keep saying.
