I know what you mean, I once ate a Yorkie bar and it didn't turn me into a lorry driver.
Good luck being the r&d Guinea pig to start with though!
Hardly, still waiting for the dual motor to be announced and even then it's a 6month minimum wait. It will likely be this time next year before I get one.
Also it's Basically an id4/id5 running gear on a longer chassis. Proven already.
I just want decent r&d on coilovers (looking at you, coilbound Bilstein b14s) so I can slam in on it battery pack.
Test driving one on Monday to compare to my t6 and see how the racking would fit into the smaller cargo.

Id4 / 5 are hardly reliable, in reality.
When I enquired the dealer told me the 5k government grant is no longer available. I do wonder tho if they will be any grants for the commercial sector ?
Did it stop you being a girl though?!!!
Got to be more reliable than my t6 though.
I'll do some research and see what's what. 12v battery is obviously one, I'll keep a spare.
The cargo was added to the list a few weeks ago. This is a grant for businesses though.
Happy days will look more seriously in to it now.
I was in at my local dealers at lunchtime today. Apparently the £5k grant is still available on the ID Buzz Cargo, but could be withdrawn at any time like it was on the passenger version. Also if you live in Scotland (don't know about England or Wales) the government is doing 0% finance on electric vehicles. At the other end of the scale VW Finance is 11%!
So I just test drove the buzz today. First things first, the £5k government grant is already Included in the VW price, the price you get on the configuration includes the £5k grant appraently. The dealership claims it back ..... This is according to the rep that was with me.
However
It's so much quicker and more responsive than my 190bhp/320lbft heap of unreliable T6 turd.
Seriously it gets to top speed effortlessly before I've hit 60 in the t6.
Still I'll wait for the dual motor version to be announced though.
It drives so nice.
Some notes, wing mirrors are too small, need to be wider.
No full metal tailgate just a stupid window.
No arm rests on the dual bench setup..the holes are there in the seats so I'm sure they can be retrofitted.
Indicators and wipers are on the same stack.
... Annoying as f##k.
Haptic controls and screen infotainment isn't bad, critics should stop being wetwipes.
This cargo was on 19s, definitely would prefer a less spongy ride/steering response on 20s or 21s.
The stock audio does come with door woofers and dash corner mounted tweeters. Makes upgrading the audio easier.
It needs to be lowered considerably.
Needs a lip kit.
Awaits GTX........

Just check the gov grant, as I think it's about to disappear, if it hasn't done already.
It's been extended to 31st March 2023.
So VW need to get the order books open for the dual motor version before then.
They won't, I'll loose out in the £5k grant and guaranteed VW will Increase the price of the Buzz by £5k like they said they might.
Well, that emissions fine won't pay itself.
Whats the size comparison compared to a swb t6.1 as the orange one looks small ? Looks size of my old Touran ?
I sat in one at the dealers yesterday. I'd guess it's a smidge bigger than a Peugeot Partner. They have their uses as people buy them.
You can't really say "it's a bit small for a van." That's like saying the up! is a bit small for a car. I'd did seem like it would be a bit cosy with 3 sat in the front tho'.
My issue with it was the lack of buttons. I really don't like everything on a touchscreen.
