Btw, how do Germans generally pronounce "volt"? Folt? 230 fau? Or is it like wolt and we?

Does the name change still make sense in German?

No the pronunciation would be similar (english V, not F) between German and English for Voltswagen. That's part of the joke.

Ok, so you'd be switching from "fau we" to "we we", which makes it make even less sense...

I noticed that the German site hasn't changed anything, seems to be a US thing only.
