e-Golf is not the ID.3. The e-Golf is available for purchase in multiple markets and has a max range of 125mi.

And it has been in production for years. I think they sold only 1400 of them in 2018.

If they only sold 1400 of them, then more than 10% of them must drive on the 280 every day.

It's a "compliance car" intended to meet California EV sales minimums. So yes, you see more of them on 280 than you might expect from the total US sales.

CleanTechnica reports that VW sold 10.000 eGolfs in EU in 2018 Q1 + Q2, so that claim of "1400" sounds very very wrong.

According to Wiki they sold 30k vehicles at minimum before 2018. Nowhere near Tesla 3 numbers, but claiming that it only sold 1400 vehicles is just wrong.

[shereadsthenews]

They sold approximately 4000 in each of the three years prior to 2018, in the USA. I didn't say they sold 1400 through 2018, I said 1400 in 2018. These numbers come from InsideEVs.

Last year they sold about 7200 to Norway alone[1]. They apparently had low production capacity but is ramping up and expects to sell over 10k in Norway this year.
