You mean, and I quote, 'a very good car' for most people?

Remind me what it was that Tesla did that meant you haven't bought one.

Yes. So well they leave 85% of the market for the rest of the phone companies to have as customers.
I think you meant to say
"For the 21st century some consumers want something that breaks with the old and gives them experiences, performance and convenience that is unique to the 21st century. The majority just want a sensibly priced phone."

Are VW still selling cars to their own people as they did last year to generate turnover?

To my untrained eye it looks to be a more technically challenging design compared with the Dynetics and Blue Origin proposals but perhaps the fact that tests are already underway for the Starship is a significant factor in their choice.
The 3 proposals are shown here, huge difference in scale:

I would imagine that Jeff Bezos is less than happy with the decision.

Whose cars do you think VW should offer to their employees as company cars?

The issue was not about which brand VW should offer their employees, but about VW using sales to their own employees to give the impression that the Id3 and id4 brands were selling well to the general public.

VW has always sold cars to it's employees at a decent rate, it's a perk of the job.
Any more rumours, vagaries or innuendo you'd like dispelled (again)?

So VW uses sales to employees to give the impression that there BEV are selling well to the general public, without issuing a correction, and does so at low margins.
What a way to run a business.
