The TFL team bids a fond, albeit financially motivated, farewell to their Volkswagen ID. Buzz, affectionately nicknamed 'Gloria.' While the van elicits significant 'smiles per gallon' and offers a comfortable, surprisingly quick driving experience with ample space for passengers and gear, its practicality for road trips is significantly hampered by charging infrastructure challenges and slow charging speeds, especially in adverse weather. The team encountered numerous issues with non-functional chargers and long wait times. Despite its retro charm and unique features like Easter eggs and massaging seats, the high initial price point of $72,000 and subsequent depreciation to $61,000 after just two months led to the decision to sell. The ID. Buzz's limited payload capacity and the difficulty in finding specific HL-rated tires for its staggered setup are also noted drawbacks. Ultimately, while the ID. Buzz is praised for its comfort and unique appeal, its real-world usability for long journeys is compromised, making it a difficult business decision for the TFL team.
