Globally, Volkswagen expects ID.4 deliveries to cross 100,000 units this year alone.
The VW ID.4, shipped from the Zwickau factory in Germany, is finally in the U.S., but at a high base price of USD 39,995 (before subsidy). Switching to locally produced units from the Chattanooga plant in 2022, Volkswagen hopes to slash the base price to around USD 35,000

And though Tesla has a head-start on production, VW will be making the ID.4 at three locations and five factories – two in Europe (Zwickau & Emden), two in China (Anting and Foshan)
[600K units/year alone], and one in the USA (Chattanooga) – chasing world domination in EVs.

The production rate at Tesla’s Shanghai plant has crossed 250,000 EVs/annum. Eventually, this plant could make as many as 1 million Tesla cars per year (which will include the ‘
Tesla Model 2‘ and export volume). The upcoming Tesla Gigafactory Berlin aims to add a further half million units. Then, the Gigafactory Texas would produce the Model Y for the Eastern United States.
