    Yes it's a four-seater but...

    It did not use 33 miles of battery! It recalculated and decided you can drive for 61 miles based on the 18 miles drive. So, before, it estimated 94. Now it estimated 61+18=79. It really meant your driving mpg dropped about (94 -79)/94 = 16%, which can be simply the result of freeway driving...

    3 year free car-net for eGolf is a scam

    My impression is that there are two parts of car-net. We have 3 year of the EV part (whatever you see in the app) and 6 months of safety part.

    Lease Cost Breakdown

    I agree that the GCC is the only variable. However, that also means one can negotiate strictly over the total lease payment (drive-off + monthly x 35). The money factor is close to 0, so the total lease payment is pretty constant regardless the down payment you want to put in.
