I watched Volkswagen announce the ID Buzz as America’s nostalgic EV savior. Now, after one model year and fewer than 5,000 sales, dealers are telling customers it’s over while VW insists it might come back someday. Here’s what you need to know: VW confirmed to Carscoops they won’t produce 2026 ID Buzz models for the…
