$100 Fully Refundable Deposit to reserve
1st Edition was initially sold out on 1st day VW opened up availability. Now available again for anyone interested in a long range SUV which qualifies for all EV incentives.
QA Note: ID.4 1st Edition is now sold out for ordering, but the standard edition pre-order at OP's link is still available.
250 mile EPA rated range
Level 2 Autonomous Driving features (Travel Assist)
Incentives include: $7500 Federal Tax Credit
If leased, 7500 Federal tax credit applied directly to the "downpayment" of the lease.
Huge amounts of state incentives. I'm from CA so here are some examples:
CVAP (California residents- income limited) Grants are for new or used clean vehicles. You can get a grant for a hybrid vehicle, a plug-in hybrid, or an electric vehicle. Battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids can also include a home charging station with installation support, up to a $2,000 value.
See details:

CA residents can qualify for $1500 clean fuel initiative (no income limit)

CA CVRP rebate : $2000 - 4500 (depending on income level- income cap 150k for single filers, 300k for joint filers)
Increased rebate for lower income. Check CVRP rebate for all details:

Also check with utilities for all other rebates.
1st Edition comes fully loaded the following options included:
Color choice, 20 inch Rims, Panoramic roof, IQ Drive (level 2 autonomous driving) and many other features that make this a well equipped long range EV for less than 30k in some instances (federal + state + utility rebates/incentives).
Advantages over Tesla Model Y
Heated Steering Wheel (unavailable on any Tesla)
Comes with Tow/Trailer Hitch ($1000 option on the Tesla Model Y)
Comes with more color choices ($1000-2000 on Model Y)
Comes with 20 inch Rims ($2000 option on Model Y)
Comes with Hands Free Kick to open lifgate (not available on Model Y)
Panoramic Fixed Roof 1 touch sunshade (not available on Model Y- the sunshade)
1st Edition saves $2000 over the regular ID4 order if optioned out fully with 20 inch rims and extra features such as panoramic roof, power lift-gate, adaptive headlights, 12 inch center display)
STANDARD VERSION: (use same link to reserve)
You can opt for standard version that starts at 40,000 (all rebates still apply on top of this)
Standard Version: Same range, IQ Drive included (level 2 autonomous driving), Lacks power lift gate, Lacks panoramic sunroof.
All ID4 orders also come with 3 years free Electrify America Fast charging. Excellent if you live near a Electrify America charging station or work by one.
Main competitor Model Y standard range.
Pros of Model Y: Supercharging network (not free, but more stations), rear heated seats
Cons of Model Y: Less range (244), additional colors cost $1000 ($2000 for red), No Federal Tax credit of 7500.
Both excellent options but I thought I would let people know about the ID4 seeing how popular the Model Y deal was.
Electric car future is looking bright!

I like the ID4 but anyone who knows anything about non-Tesla EVs in the USA (and even still to a degree Tesla EVs) is that you don't want to be an early adopter and you reap the savings and fixes after about a year.
A Bolt is not an ID4 but you can get them for $23k despite the $38k MSRP, Leaf is another one, and lets not forget the $12.5k eGolfs! Looking forward to the ID4 dropping in price once the TN facility comes on-line and I'm not talking just about the smaller pack variant that will be significantly cheaper once the $7,500 rebate is factored in.

Those other vehicles like Bolt, LEAF, etc. are not SUV. This is the size vehicle that the market has been waiting for, not just another hatch.
