for the d, w global media on 2023 on germany and online, the increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of forces digital. the amplified where this clutter can lead. we really need overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d. w's global media forum. the will the electric id to mean there is once again, finally, a fuss lock in for everyone. is the mistake these w $124.00 election. that's the last 4 of us and where can you have a last that the will of modified cause at the age of 15. right now with

the ever bigger, ever more luxurious. that's the trends in the car markets. german car companies are earning a lot of money from that, but german car buyers are waiting for affordable e cards. we are not in the social business, this is about a solid company going forward and creating money that we can reinvest in the future . one of those pricey but profitable e cars, the mercedes e q a, with a starting price of around $51000.00 euros in germany. the audi q for the truck starts at around 52000 and the bmw w i x one at around 55000. and these are the smallest purely electric

cars, those makers offer right now. the problem on the e car market right now is that almost 50 percent of the cars have a starting price. that is more than $50000.00 euros. although they do only make of 18 percent of sales are more affordable. each one of the most successful reasonably priced electric cars is renault's zoey, starting at around $37000.00 euros and with a range of 395 kilometers. the, the $500.00 electric is another competitor starting at around $31000.00 euro and with a range of around 190 kilometers. but it's still a lot of money for a pretty small car. the one of the cheapest, the cars is the smart e q, with a starting price for around 22000 years. however, it's extremely small size in

a range of $100.00. 35 kilometers. don't make it very attractive. some of the best value for money comes from a chinese competitor, the m g for electric features around 350 kilometers of range at a price of around 29000 years. and then there's the r a funky cat also from china. unfortunately, it's a lot more expensive at around $39000.00 euro on the lower end cars that started on the 20000 years do only make up of one percent of available cars, but almost 10 percent off sales. so there is definitely a need for those cheap cars. vw recently unveiled a prototype that aims to meet the need for affordable electric mobility. it's name the vw id to all a this

is the dw id to all of a call that fits exactly into that nice a small purely electric call on the 25000 euros. but it's still a prototype. this compact electric looks a lot like a vw fold up and it just over 4 meters. it's similar in size. but why is it so late to the party? you can always reach your call is coming earlier, but we have to make this comp profitable. we had to make sure that this vehicle when it comes, it is not only a great number, but it will also make us money in the prototype is powered by 100. 66 kilowatt electric motor b. w forecasts up to 450 kilometers in range. and a fast charging from 0 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes off or under 25000 years. battery costs as

a deciding factor. and we're just investing in the battery factory. satisfactory admin stain close to the factory of these vehicles and the standard ssl, the unified. so from volkswagen group, it's not with all companies. don't bring the scale and the cost that makes it is competitive. even though the car won't launch until 2026, v w is optimistic. meanwhile, japanese and chinese carmakers plan to bring these types of cars onto the market earlier. examples include the nissan micra, e v, and around $25000.00 euros, with 400 kilometers of rain, the and the b y, the dolphin, with a starting price of under $23000.00 euros, and a range of 300 kilometers. and william lee, the founder of chinese car maker, neal has unveiled plans to take on european card john volkswagen in its home market

as it prepares to launch electric vehicles for under 30000 euros on the european market. if we design build and build the typical full blog and emotional one thing, there is enough space also next to our sign is competitive. the unfortunately will take until 2026 for the serious production version of this call to come into the market . and until then, these are quite a few years, so the chinese have a lot of time to bring costs on their own. and then we will see if the v w will have what it takes to compete with these cars. to make matters worse for b, w, the chinese are not the only competitors working on electric cars. others from germany, the rest of europe in the us are giving vw a run for their customers. on the bright side, more cars means more competition and therefore,

better deals for consumers. the cut off the for the ages and the world a gym and built the label phenomenon on the soonest. eighty's w 124 is well shipped around the world from social media and old school style. i'm on collect just the car that you never want to get out of the building and i almost died. the, it's one of the most reliable cars around the world, the size the, the for really the here forever across the well, the mercedes w $124.00 has a special meaning today is he's driven in ham. but on

a vice hans has doesn't have the muscles built between 1984 and 97 submit. so his com is available as a luxury sedan watkin, to pay and can relay the secret of the bill. the 124 is that it's the most believe that car you can find, often as possible from fed as much like a sofa bullfighter thing when you're out on the road. by all, no flicked advisor on to it can even help to leave your stressful daily routine behind you. i talked to him, it said it does. it doesn't look everything you touch as urban nomic feel of. not even the horn is aggressive, but this is everything has to be non aggressive and it just puts you in terms of your voice though as a result of driving a w 124 makes you a really laid back road user. that's the end slot. this problem on advice hans is a photographer. he used his professional tenants to put the mercedes

w 124 in the unique nights. this illustrated book tells the story of how he rescued an old w 124 from the scrap heap and in a labor of love turned it back into a resplendent on full way of what it is. the original idea behind the book i was to share. my love is the car with other people, not pulling out ones well. and also to shows a lot of the things at the start about how to recycle the car for 2 weeks. although what i actually do is restore them, i can buy things you can do yourself. this one, if he does the who's ever mind come the 124 is a star on the labels. you had seen it d, i y friendly as demonstrated by on a vice, out and online, you'll find no end of advice. and insights from own is around the world. the

facebook group set out by remaining and rest fund. alexandra, who had almost 400000 members practically overnight that's. busy or is just such a popular product that it brings a lot of attention and it definitely keeps a lot of cars on the road. because though we, we had to pay each other and we keep each other and up to date with which to order repairs. the queen springs to get the w $120.00 full fans from afghanistan pakistan to indonesia and south america. did our people say. busy the age categories and also we get we also have female female members that are passionate about beverly, around $24.00. and you're going to be amazed to see how, how for their cars. well, it's a very diverse community with the people that also want to improve their cars, not only keep them on the road. so we basically go to these people from america,

euro, or defense in japan, the high performance special editions of the $124.00 are in this specially high demand. that is the 8 cylinder engine generating 320 holes, talent, that limited edition from the cds performance brand am g also feels right at home on the race track and owning the a g e. 60 and perhaps the clothes on. the wall is a word, but it's not just because of the output, the co to achieve the collects w $124.00. i x square design and the size size of to disco. use a very comfortable to use and in general, not too big. nope. so small social media has plenty of examples of the w $124.00

talents instead of cruising. how about the base of the nothing other than pressure and that keeps those. busy together, all the feeling about that did something special them how the developer would crumble between the simplicity and the reliability. the 124 succeeds in making it simple and keeping it simple and reliable. and i think that's the greatest thing about from africa to albania, world around the world, you'll find that b, 124 was on the road, some with over a 1000000 kilometers on the clock. the system for reason why a no nonsense, dependable construction. that's really easy to repair, should be any appropriate thing that was conceived

brilliantly of a it wasn't today or the time is least advise of what i have found out is that you can work on most of this car using just 3 range sizes for 10, with device, this is a 10 by 13 and 17 millimeter wrench, or all you need for license to take apart 70 percent of this car. so you put, send this all the 1000 dot net in them. then they're all the engines with the sizable displacements but, and relatively modest outputs to king of staying power. this chelsea is likewise built to last forever. therefore, the advantage of the $124.00 is that everything's a tiny bit thinker industry to heavier. this in dakota, everyone's thicker and therefore last a lot longer than some pressed aluminum parts. so we're familiar with visual genuine, heavy metals in the side. heavy met

a heavy metal of this makes the riot feet, which you find the rest of many 1. 24 is still on the road today some 3 decades after they rolled off the production line. on a vice hot has a growing fleet, eager to share his level of the call with others, the founded renton owned the and humbug, where anyone can hire out one of his w 124th floor and sub it is one of on his regular customers. the, as i'm like, once you've driven one, you don't want to drive anything else. honest, this makes sense. all mechanical with knobs for everything. most kind of you need voice control. it's a lovely piece of mechanical engineering that you can understand you for state and cuts, and this is the issue with his cons that on a vice out doesn't understand. he can count on christian time for him like 10 minutes. he's as bona fide

a w $124.00 x that who's familiar with every nuts and bolts of the cost for decades . now he's been converting model was from the range in 2 weeks. was it special editions on of i, todd and christine hon. 2 comments. uvf, with a shed permission. he will not be on site visit me technically w 124 is our downgraded versions of the s class warranty at home, except that they all have this solidity due to getting everything from the big car . most of all salt doesn't say exactly now the car has this to your ability because of its big, solid construction that is so take on. so need a good solid wrong the dilemma. it runs forever except i drove 400000 kilometers in one of them and then sold it for a decent price, which the next guy probably did to. that's not possible with other cars from and that's not time under this ultimate on like hell and they're still desirable today . among other cars don't have that character,

is that these guys you see one and recognize it immediately. most of this comes clear on tile is included some seriously rich people looking some very special mercedes model prime example, this $600.00 model of customized for iris stuff for analysis. this s office specially requested go windows, although he's most creative constructions for 124. and we, i'm comfortable, it was, we have done convertibles and sedans include in truncated version of i'm one is a pick up, a target top convertible and wagon all in one car. listen, i'm and easy to switch between one to bone. if in their goals i grew up with the $124.00 series, practically the last real benches and bins, the la compress the lender ones that are cheaper construction built under price constraints. usually they wanted to make smaller cars and eventually it was just no longer the same sales as phone or done. this young funding out was on zillow,

the deputy $124.00 and itself iconic status, the ocean night of history, standing for freedom indestructibility, and timeless the auto spot. they were in the dog for a long time without any changes, whereas other models got a face lift every 34, or 5 years face can lift and customers appreciated. that was on view of on them. yeah, we will do it out. yeah. because we made extremely specific custom modifications and that's how this is i might adjust if we made some of the sedans 6 door model screw because some customers in the arab world have a 2nd wife or them a problem. and you need a car. everyone can fit into the full, eh, on the warranty, i limited funds. one of the 6 to w $124.00 c originally come visit for shades, eventually ended up in the collection of them. the code to the height of the general codes has so much. not to goes on probably fashion and look

for the stars that. busy once again, come on the floor on the, on the group number. i don't know if a facebook will be there for as long as it's not blue and $24.00 will be so i don't know that's less than $24.00. we've been here forever and indicating to there are precious few cars that indicated so pleasantly and blink released back to miss eighty's w 124 is a phenomenon called classic built in. just gone, that has come, could do well the big unless you have a button that says, and it's like freedom the

1st time the steven the team, the this is a t r, a tiny down around 100 kilometers. so to be a big circle in sweden, famous for snow cod testing, winter driving experiences. and as i discovered 15 year dollar drivers. and this is me walking through as a chart discovering what minus 8 degrees feels like. so just a moment to pull it up. that's when i saw these cars with warning triangles on the back that made me curious. well, turns out why do you need to be 18 to drive a car in sweden? you only need to be 15 to drive a track, the input, the f, a d, a track the cause that are modified and registered as track the loophole. vehicles

that helps weeds as youngest 15 get mobo. my name is alvis on when i come from outside of sweden and i am 50 years old and this is my book. i call this nothing like the f i track bill was born due to a war time shortage and farm equipment trucks in any cars available like the board will do, it will convert it into tractors for use on farms and they found their way onto the roads as an inexpensive mode of transport, detectives with the next generation of the f. i track the with the most comprehensive list of restrictions, like the fact that the track does needed to be modified in a way that neither people nor goods could be transported in the back. which is why to attract those, peter topped off of you to offer you a cabin. they must also be modified so they can go above speeds of 30 kilometers per hour. by limiting the gears and the engine rpms,

the must have it effective, try and go at the back and must have energy to know for in body, which is why the f as you see, today's come in all shapes and sizes. before you get behind the wheel of vanessa, you've got to take a slight change of driving past. it's really with it. do the driving exam or to with them open and then you can is safe denied. all right, but not before your parents approve the at least 3, the 4 that the phone with them is that my dad, a ride with me the 1st day just to see everything is go, take a look at them. pretend all the traffic rules and all that stuff. but off of that, nothing. the addresses are both more than just getting from point a to point b for

swedish kids. the passion project. when i bought this, it was very, very, very bad. but i have, i have a of a, i had been done everything. google is the flow of the store was very, very often. so i think that most of wasn't going to fix that. so and i also have been sent off, like i said before, it was all like a if i to see if they're also a home away from home that likes to be have a good feeling about it. have to how it looks about

the and they to means to feel positive. community of chicago says themes, all of whom take pride in their episode, seeking them out with specialty and motives and stickers. and they will more than happy to show me what made their track this, especially i painted all this stuff and i put in a new serial here. i blew it all together for the day. so in this the skulls that we are very popular and how to fun. i was also introduced to a very specific sort of music associated with f. alcohol. just call it a product. and it's usually played loud enough to make the snow done. and according to the kids and i f as a great player,

steve kid who gets more friends, we're gonna get to know more people when you have a car like this. but this also the perspective of the designated driver. maybe sometimes you just use for having a spot because they don't want to go often this know because it's too cold. i suspect i'm guilty of that on some level, although the kids up and out of its yard didn't seem to mind shopping, a pesky or doing this around so the day might be it would pass and in your car. oh no, i have older and well, this older passenger says these 15 years old certainly can drive the roads are completely covered in smooth, quite slippery, but alden seems to be reading confident weather conditions. all things considered base 2 sides to the story on the one hand, the kids love it and drive wherever you want to go slow about. yeah,

you can go there and he's even talking about long distance is covered the slope. it's a 30 kilometers an hour. i'm going school in pico and it takes about 4 hours to come to 0 from artist out because the $120.00 plus in the ivy to i read it to be totally cool. most fios and there isn't too much public transport if i track does make sense, but that's the other side of the coin is these kid stormy? many, many, many crashes with a, with a box. many if they are manipulating the car to go like 100 a 120 or something to eat, lots of accident and the government knows that there are general questions to get in trouble about though they're getting low, sir, signing slacks of. and they get the find which is why
