Fun fact about how the new beetle came into existence: VW held a concept design challenge for students back in 1993…. A student of MIT came up with what eventually became known as the VW Concept 1, which later became to be known in 1999 as what we know now as the New Beetle. After that student won the design contest he was awarded a job with VW, but left after a couple years to go to work for Ford, same student also designed the new Thunderbird while at Ford. So I guess this is more than one fun fact. 😎👍

@@bougieproletariat This is the long wheel base version, and costs quite a bit more than the standard short wheel base version, which only has 5 seats.....
That electrochroamatic roof is insane. I can only recall one other car having that and that’s the Maybach 62, so the fact VW is putting that in a car that costs a tenth of the price is really cool.
We’ll see. VW has been teasing a new microbus “right around the corner” for LITERALLY 25 years. This has been promised for so long, it’s guaranteed to disappoint. And I say this as someone who used to love the brand.
I've driven this car before. Our company has an all white version with the back seats removed. It's super fun to drive around but feels a bit weird because you're sitting so high up and the windshield seems very far away 😅 Oh and since he didn't show it, it launches pretty good too for the fact that it's a bus!
@@Tieme911 oh yeah, I totally agree with that. Driving a basically silent car would be weird. Sound, or the lack there of, is a major factor for me too.
@@ThatSoonerGuyAgreed. I drive a Kia C'eed and gotta love the sound of it when you get to around 4,000 rpm On the plus side, EVs sound and feel like literal spaceships sometimes and you can enjoy the sound of the music more when it's at low volume
I’m 6’3 and my family is pretty tall. Awesome to see how much leg room it has. To me, as amazing as the electronic wonderland is, leg space is my selling point. Sold
@@businessathlet3587there hasn't been a noticeable number of new VW microbuses in the US since the 80s. It would be fun to see the make a comeback here.
@@niklasmeyer9660 they did test & Volkswagens can lose about 30% range in the winter. Still leaving you with about 300km of range which is more than enough for Uber drivers in a city. Also the charge time isn’t long so just plug it in at lunch.
@@niklasmeyer9660 Winter, pfft, summer, too. I used to work at a BMW dealership, the i3s were advertised as having something like a 90 or 100mi range but because the AC had to run nonstop on sunny 95 degree Florida days they'd only get 40 at best.
@@fordsquared537 the type 2 bus as the name says is a bus. Or van as you Americans call it. The country where it was originally made classified it as a van :)
without doing any research and only going off of assumptions, I assume the battery pack is going to be at the bottom of the car, which means the center of gravity is going to be pretty low, just like a tesla's. so chances are it wont be at too much risk of a rollover
All ev batteries are at the bottom Makin the chances of roll over almost 0%compared to gas cars and ev cars on average weight 1000lbs more than a gas car and all of that weight is at the bottom of the cars so you aren't going to flip that car and ev cars are also safer in accidents because of that extra weight right now their a debate if ev car are more danger to gas cars since in collision test ev cars crush gas cars with ease
I’m think this could be due to US safety laws and the way the tables are fastened down might not be good enough or something or more likely VW did their market research and found that having the table option in the US wouldn’t have been worth it as not enough people would have gotten it as an option
@@crazyewok8742 Weird, because from what I know, Germany is the craziest country in regards of safety laws, and laws about cars. I would have expected the tables not to be available in Germany.
In India you can find something like this but some modifications the car is called Maruthi Suzuki Ertiga Take the smart hybrid model and you will get the same space and etc you have to just modify the screen to anything u want.
Really on my favourite list. A van that feels and drives like a hatchback. Lots of space and all the assistants for the long hauls. The only disappointment I have considering the current generation is that VW didn't use the extra floor space to hide a bigger battery than it's smaller siblings. Not that its current range is too short, per se, it's just that it's unused potential. Oh, and it could be fun if its artificially limited top speed could be turned off and on in the menu system. You know, for when you just wanna have fun seeing what it can do and don't care about range/economy. 😋
As a Tesla owner, I love this van. If it were made by Tesla, I would buy it and have it shipped over here to America. Reasons why I would want it to be made by Tesla. The superchargers, and FSD.
