my cousin has one of these in London (short wheelbase though). I wish we got that spec here. | So far, it’s bringing more smiles per km than the Model Y. I’ve been a big fan of the T2 and T3, but they were obviously not practical daily drivers for our family. So when VW offered the $21K discount this month, I knew it was my chance to finally make the move.
Loving the extra space and higher seating position. The 4Motion and overall performance are great for a vehicle that weighs over 6,000 lbs. There’s definitely more wind noise above 100 km/h, but that’s expected when you’re driving what’s essentially a brick on wheels.
Of course, the Model Y is light-years ahead when it comes to UI and software. The ID. Buzz has its fair share of frustrating and downright baffling design decisions, such as:
-No camp mode. The car automatically shuts off if no one is in the driver’s seat, forcing people to use dumbbells or rocks the AC running. Hopefully VW adds this via an OTA update, though I’m not holding my breath...
-Terrible app integration. The myVW app is painfully slow. Each command takes 20–30 seconds to process before error messages start popping up.
-Potato-quality rear camera. For a $100K OTD vehicle, you’d think VW could at least include a 720p camera system.
-You have to turn the side mirror knob to the 'R' side EVERY time you reverse if you want the mirrors to go down to see the parking lines or curb.

OMG can't believe someone actually dropped money on one. I heard they were stopping production cuz no demand. Like wouldn't mind it, if it didn't have like frisker levels of software issues.

For sure. There are folks on the fb group who are suggesting a class action lawsuit 
The $26k discount on that FB ad is misleading as the extra $5k discount from VW is only for business fleets.
My guess is that they will be provide more incentives for lease and finance options in the next couple of months, especially for the single colour models which have been sitting on the lot for 6+ month. I don't see how they could lower the price further as that would make the id buzz cheaper than the id.4!

Pretty sure I saw a recent ad with one of the local VW dealerships about having $99/week leases on the ID Buzz too.
Goods can always be moved. They just have to be priced accordingly.

I was able to drive around Vancouver and Richmond a few times on a single charge with the heater, massager and music on throughout the trip.
Yes, Canada's buzzes all come with heat pumps.

How bad is it is it compared to Tesla? Like Tesla app is still laggy at times, trying to view sentry mode and sometimes the car doesn't react occasionally when you do stuff like just walk up or turn on climate on app. But it's 85% good. There's no issues at all in the app with charge limits etc, charge times.
