The VW partners of the families Porsche and Piech are said to be already very restless.
Reduced goals
Original goal from VW was to sell 100,000 of the ID.3 later this year. This number has already been reduced to 80,000. In order to meet the EU emission targets, more models of the e-Golf and the e-up! sold. Delays in the ID.3 would of course also affect other MEB projects, such as the SUV ID.4.
