Jürgen Stackmann, #volkswagen Brand Board Member for Sales, commented: "Finally, our #id3 pre-bookers have been given the long-awaited #green light for emission-free driving pleasure.

The general ordering system for #id3 models begins four weeks later – and pre-bookers have the exclusive opportunity to join the 1st Mover Club until then.

Thomas Ulbrich, #volkswagen Brand Board Member for E-mobility, added: "The last few months working under the difficult conditions of the pandemic have been a big challenge for the entire #id3 team.
