Does this look like a tesla to you?




The whole point of narrow 1+1 configuration is to reduce frontal area by placing the passenger behind the driver. This configuration is a great way to cheat drag but it also eliminates a lot of internal volume. Even the most advanced batteries today take up a lot more volume than a diesel fuel tank. Besides, VW doesn't believe in battery electrics so its a moot point. We'll never see one of these on the road.
