So setting aside brand weight, how will the fit and finish on the VW compare to the fit and finish on the Tesla?
Is it gonna be full of cheaper materials and be poorly assembled?

I have probably seen more Lambo SUVs in the last year than I had any other Lambo combined for my entire life.
The same was true for EV / Tesla early on, which helped establish their brand in a similar elite way. They’re still holding onto that for the moment, because cars don’t turn over as often and they have a production backlog — we’ll see if it lasts.
I think it’ll become more like Apple, where everyone of a certain class feels like they have to own the most expensive version, even if it only offers marginal benefits at double the cost.
This might change if other automakers actually make a real effort to create proper EVs. But I'm not holding my breath. My experiences I've had driving even high-performance non-Tesla EVs, seem to indicate that they'll hold this advantage for some years yet, at a minimum.
Edit: Why is this downvoted? :-))
how can you set aside brand weight in this question? isn't VW's reputation pretty much the only thing we can take into account when speculating about a future vehicle?
based on VW's reputation and personal experience, I would expect the fit and finish on a VW to be a good bit better than the model 3. at the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if they cut a few corners to hit a competitive price point.
The eGolf got good reviews on this; standard VW quality interior.
