WATCH: How Well Does The Volkswagen ID.4 Stack Up Against The Tesla Model Y?

Volkswagen officially launched its all-new fully electric ID.4 crossover. Many say it's the first true Tesla rival thanks to its ground-up design, impressive range, roomy accommodations, and potential for huge global sales. Others don't see it as a vehicle that has what it takes to compete with the Tesla Model Y. What gives?

There are two extreme cases when it comes to Tesla fans. Those who are excited about pushing the transition to EVs and encourage healthy competition. They can't wait for new and compelling electric vehicles to arrive. even if they're not made by Tesla. On the other side, there are Tesla fans just waiting for the next Tesla rival to come to market so they can work to prove how inferior it is to Tesla. Of course, there are many folks who fit somewhere in the middle.

The creator of that video is such a Tesla fan boy that they can't find anything good in any other EV. The general comments on InsideEVs, even from Tesla fans, is that this person creates terrible videos.

Fresh new design that sells for less than the Model Y, is an appealing feature. It likely opens up another segment of the market, especially those who are not enamored with Tesla. The whole Tesla range is looking long in tooth when compared to many of the new entrants.

Looks good Will be interesting to see if VW, Ford, Hyundai and others with strong entries coming out can gain a significant share of the market with the advantage Tesla has with batteries and range.
