VW definitely has the capital and the resources, and they are clearly going all in on EV technology. It will take them a while to catch up to Tesla, to build their gigafactory and to build their own supercharger network, but they definitely will. The new VW ID3 looks pretty cool. It remains to be seen if they can get the price right, while staying competitive in features, performance, ease of supercharging, range, etc to Telsa, but as I said, they will be able to catch up quickly, especially since Tesla opened its patens for fair use.
