But you'll have to be patient; it's still two years away.

No, they did not launch their first all-electric SUV. They announced it. There's a difference.

[EDIT] Sorry, that's the "ID Buzz." A "people carrier in the spirit of the old Volkswagen microbus."

They're delivering ID.4s across the world now. It's currently the third best selling EV in Norway for 2021:

It may end up being the best selling model in Norway this year. The Audi e-tron (which is also a Volkswagen SUV) was the best selling EV in Norway in 2020.

Other VW SUVs which will be delivered this year are the Skoda Enyaq (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqdByCvnNQA) and the Audi Q4 e-tron (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ihZXQIlpRM).

According to the site[1] they're shipping (shipped?) First Edition purchases to buyers in Q1 2021 and will be shipping cars made with reservations starting this summer for the lower trim and Oct-Nov for the higher trim.
