The $7500 loophole for leases is the one of the reasons I’m in an iX (which is a fantastic car).

I’ve spent more time speccing and building a Taycan on the Porsche website than this guy spent driving his.

fun and funky ~$30k hatchback with ~250 miles range

Makes 0 sense for VW to have a separate platform from the Rivian if it can help it.
