the presentation of the GTI was good, the cupra ok, but the first half completely uninspired "classic german" emotionless business blabla, that was another example how it is possible to make that show really boring. no information about the APP550 being in the ID.2 GTI or not, modern LFP/LFMP batteries from salzgitter with the know how of Gotion-Hitech. where are the innovations? 48V sodium battery instead of the outdated 12V lead-acid battery, a 48V supply for the whole car and aluminium wires instead of copper to keep the cost down. perovskite solar panels on the front hood or roof to keep the battery charged when parking and move the air to prevent the cabin from getting too hot. maybe to early to talk about MEB V2 but integrated (3-phase) mini-inverters in every battery module would be great (like IBIS from stellantis). this would allow upgrades with mixing different battery chemistries, different battery densities, different battery age,... one could use a car full of sodium ion batteries with 50kWh. maybe decides to upgrade in 5 years by ripping out 4 sodium modules and add 4 fancy quantumscape modules with tripple the energy denstiy. and use the sodium ion modules at home for solar energy storage. these are the innovations that we want to hear at that event and not how diverse the work force is.
The cupra Dark Rebel is simply outstanding, so agressive and emotional
What about the CUPRA Raval?
Please send the ID.GTI to America.
The cars look fantastic but the awful infotainment issues over the last couple of years make me hesitant to buy VAG again
Blah blah blah....
