It seems that certain markets have a different handling tune. In Korea the atto 3 handles differently from other countries.

It would be better for consumers that Volkswagen & other car companies price their products closer to what it is sold for in China. The ID.3 can be had for USD $9,400 there.

Instead of assuming, why not check the app yourself to see if they are real people?

Perhaps a combination of many factors. Anti-EV lobbying being one.

Transitioning from ICE to EV production will result in job redundancy in the manufacturing and assembly of engine, gearbox, exhaust, and other ICE-specific components. This could lead to mass layoffs, which would have severe political and economic implications .

Additionally there is a significant technological gap between legacy ICE manufacturers and EV manufactures to the point that legacy auto may never bridge the gap and will always be a step behind new EV manufacturers. Which may lead the whole industry and even the country to be hesitant to switch.

  • Mexico sold roughly five times as many EVs this year as last

  • Other areas of note are the United Kingdom, which saw a roughly 17 per cent increase year-to-date.

  • In Turkey, the EV market grew by almost 50 per cent year-to-date

Basically in countries with no legacy auto manufacturers, EV sales increase much more rapidly.

As far as can tell it only affects cars with Cariad software which seems to be used by VW group EVs.
