On Thursday, the company announced that its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will stop producing the company’s fully electric SUV ID.4 starting mid-April. Instead, the focus will shift to producing the new generation of Atlas models, a best-selling gasoline-powered SUV.

Likely this is a bigger role than anything.

I pretty much only drove VWs whole life.

I can get a used Chevy Bolt or used ID4 for roughly the same price.

Should be picking up the Bolt next week.

VW really fucked up with their EV strategy.
