Oh well the Hemi Jeep works well still.
It will work out in a bit after initial growing pains. I can understand why it would be a disappointment for you today but this is a 10 year program.

I suspect there will be some interest negotiations when one car on the lot gets a $7500 credit and the identical car next it doesn't. We may see some GM-like factory rebates to move the cars without a credit.

VW is pretty well situated for the new credit next year with final assembly in Tennessee and battery assembly in Georgia - partnered with the Korean company SK.
