    kinda weird they are choosing this path.
    I’d understand a focus hybrids but it must be a lucrative demogrpahic or …something.

      I think it has something to do with the government’s waffling position on EV technology. I don’t recall the details, but it made for uncertainty in the industry. The parent company (VAG) has also struggled with their software. I am fuzzy on the specifics. It is late for me.

      Sad to see in any case. I’ve been a fan for a while and am encouraged with the Taycan. These ICE engines are getting so complicated that repairs are not for the faint of heart.
