Seeing you check out the car as a new owner was fun. A tiny bit frustrating watching you feel all around the console including the part that you can pull open to get inside, but nevertheless fun. I've compulsively watched all the KZitem videos and don't even plan to buy one for a while so I knew all about the console openings and even that the whole thing is removable. Enjoy your new Buzz!

I would not be an early adopter of any VW EV - the software is notriously buggy (but that's true of many other EV's too though), and this is a seriously expensive car. VW seem to have gone overboard on the touch thing too, which is horrible, and it really does look like there's a LOT of scratchy plastics in this car. Not that impressed in all honesty, but I guess if your an 'e'vangelist and you're pretty minted, you don't really care.

Right now as of November 23. You can not give these vehicles away. At &72k you’re going to take a very painful financial kicking when you want to get rid. Apparently due to the vehicle weight they’re all registered as a commercial vehicle. Dealers are pre registering them so they’re then used vehicles with massive price reductions. As with the ev transporter they are being handed back as not fit for purpose.

I would just like to comment that I find your video title very mis-leading and seemingly negative towards the ID Buzz. People scanning YT will see this title and think you had a bad problem with the vehicle itself, instead of your own personal financing that you decided to switch upon arriving to pick up your order. I don't like this practise and no matter what you showed on your video, this turned me right off as again, it will give the appearance of a bad experience from the vehicle itself, and if you are looking to get views, then you will have achieved it as more people watch negative stuff than positive stuff. It's human nature, but it's wrong and I can't stand YT-ers doing this and I am reporting this video and giving it a negative rating. Too bad.
