The white only comes on the First Edition. All the other trims are black.

Just the opposite of the Mach E.

So thats the common theme between ID4 and MME - faster depreciation of their respective FEs - one due to white that is going to look grey soon color and the other due to high price differential to the PE. Atleast there is parity here

Sort of. I didn't reserve a Mach-e FE because of black upholstery, and I didn't reserve an ID.4 FE because of white steering wheel. Give me light seats and black steering wheel!

Funny how companies seem to arbitrairily pick "default" colors.

not arbitrary at all - high level marketing and technical meetings behind it all! I was able to find a picture of one such meeting:

Looks like 470km range for the AWD on WLTP per a story here: https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vw-will-offer-more-powerful-sleeker-go-anywhere-id4-variant

If you figure 80% for EPA, 233mi range. Ouch.

But wait, the AWD was GUARANTEED to have the SAME range as the RWD!! I've been lied to!!!

I am not seeing a strong market for this. On the low end, the Chevy Bolt is better (assuming you can keep getting decent discounts on the bolt and not this), and so you will need AWD to beat the bolt price/specs wise and if you are doing that the premium Mach E AWD beats it (guessing price). There is some potential style preference, but don't see it significantly taking from either the Bolt of the Mach E in terms of sales (assuming not supply side constraint, which people might get instead of waiting for the Mach E). or does it have some advantage I am missing?

It's definitely more upscale and less "econobox" than the Bolt, and the base model is significantly cheaper than the Model Y. The SR RWD is comparable, but if you want to be able to tow (or have true "utility") the ID.4 has an advantage. I think the ID.4 will actually do very well.

The ID4 will do very well I also agree. It's built for a different market and not at the mache or model y. VW wants you to choose the ID4 over ice versions similar to it.
