Volkswagen ends ID.4 production in Tennessee to build Atlas SUV
Summary
Volkswagen is ending ID.4 production at its Chattanooga, Tennessee plant to retool the line for the Atlas SUV, signaling a shift back to gasoline models in the U.S. market. The decision follows weak EV demand after the clean vehicle tax credit expired in 2025, with ID.4 sales declining sharply and dealer inventories planned to cover demand into 2027. VW emphasizes Chattanooga's ongoing importance and notes a future ID.4 variant may appear, potentially rebadged as ID.Tiguan.
