Volkswagen Received More Than 30,000 Reservations For ID.3 1ST

More than 30,000 customers pre-booked the ID.3 1ST. The first will be delivered in mid-2020.

Volkswagen announced that it finally reached its goal of 30,000 reservations for the 1ST launch edition of the ID.3.

The target was to collect 30,000 by the world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show and exactly that’s what was accomplished, although many said in May that VW set a low target. The first 10,000 were pre-booked in 24 hours.

According to the German manufacturer, the majority of Volkswagen ID.3 1ST was pre-booked in five countries:

  • Germany
  • Norway
  • the Netherlands
  • Sweden
  • the United Kingdom

For those who didn’t catch onto the ID.3 1ST, there is still a chance in the form of waiting list:

“”People who are still interested in an ID.3 1ST or an early model in the ID.3 production series should still register with us,” says Sales Board Member Jürgen Stackmann. “Our markets are keeping waiting lists for potential purchasers. Experience indicates that there may still be some movement on the waiting list up to the deadline for binding orders.” Reservations can still be placed on the portal http://www.volkswagen.com/id-prebooking or at Volkswagen’s IAA stand. Production of the ID.3 1ST is to start at the end of 2019, as planned. The first vehicles will be delivered in mid-2020.
