Yes it’s correct. VW investing very heavily in MEB platform. ID3 is great fun to drive but VW have much to do on software side.

I'm surprise that the new ID3 even has the volume to compete with Tesla at this point. Does this data include other VW electric vehicles like the Golf E or another model we're not too familiar with?

Edit... just to clarify, nothing against the ID3, just pretty surprised VW could have scaled up production so fast even if they're the largest or second largest car company in the world.

Yes. Volkswagen owns 12 automotive brands: https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/brands-and-models.html

So it includes BEVs from VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, and Porsche. Scania and MAN also produce heavy electric vehicles like buses and trucks.
