Yes, and it seems the ID.3, which is the spiritual successor, has some of the classic EV problems. Like a buggy central computer that will need updates after launch.

I understand they needed to completely redo the platform to take advantage of the EV characteristics (e.g. you need space below to put the battery, you can design the car around the lower center of mass, you don't need an engine bay, ...). But I think they should have kept the Golf name and the interior concept (mechanical switches etc.) when switching to the new platform. After all, you buy a VW (here in Europe at least) if you want a no-nonsense, slightly boring, solid car and are willing to pay a little bit more. It's like an understated status symbol.
