They kind of did. They just announced VW ID3, all electric car, with roughly 400km range for 30k EUR

Very interesting, I wonder why this announcement didn’t make the front page of HN instead of a car that can only be purchased by those that win the start-up lottery or by the FANG employees.

Still a little bit pricey, 30,000 euros is already Tiguan (i.e. CUV) territory while ID3 is just a hatchback, I’m curious how the market will respond.

It didn't make the front page. It's now been flagged and has disappeared.

HN is full of Tesla fans, not EV fans, and the voting patterns generally bare this out.

As an EV fan myself, it's a little annoying.

This is the real story. The Porsche might be exciting for the small group of people who care about such things but the VW ID3 has the potential to make a significant change in world's driving habits.

I wouldn't underestimate the importance of the Taycan.

It's the first EV that has shown it is possible to make an uncompromising track car with an electric drivetrain. Tesla proved you could make a fast car but not a reliably fast one.
