They changed the name to xbus.

Not sure if that's any better, but the design and utility is actually more alike the old veteran VW busses than VW's own electric bus. I dig it.

They've since declared bankruptcy so it's not going to be produced.

    I’d argue that the id.Buzz actually existing makes more alike the old busses from the 50s and 60s.

    I think it hits the right demography, but other than that the ID.Buzz is basically an SUV with a different exterior.

    Modern safety regulations probably disallow the horizontal steering wheel from the original bus, but that's definitely one of the things I miss in modern vans/busses.

    What's really strange is it doesn't have an exhaust port for a human-machine interface.

    Lb-ft of torque? Wtf is wrong with people. How much Lod-Ell is that? Or Buddam-Girah?

    The funny thing is that in macedonian language sounds like "ebi si" and translation in english would be is "Fuck You"

    Yes, eBussy is clearly an offensive name for this.

    We need to rename it to something that's still whimsical, and fit for its function. I mean a bus like this is something that will probably take all my fellow techbros to their jobs. So maybe something like the "Brojobber"?

    I always bring my ebussy when meeting my friends so all the eboys can ride and feel good about it (they're all very environmentally conscious)

    I would’ve bought it just for the name. That’s fucking hilarious.

    It looks like you could strap some solar, head out into the desert and pretend to be a mars rover.

    This is actually sort of interesting.
