YouTube winter range test of the VW ID.7 reveals true range and let’s just say - the results are not what you expect.

WLTP isn't measured on winter tires either. Battery Life's test was.

Battery Life tested _without_ heat pump. I don't understand where your last comment comes from, since the heat pump was not a part of the equation here.

This is very typical result. Most cars tested by this reviewer has similar range. For example almighty Tesla Y has range 275km (30km less then ID.7) at similar temperature.

"The results are not what you expect."?
The results are exactly what I expected ... old platform, subpar battery temperature management, overweight, poor software optimization ... that's exactly what gets you to this point of abysmal efficiency.
WLTP in COC lists are fine, but they need to be expanded with AC having % effect on range of the vehicle - even 10 years old Prius was able to display AC effect on range.
I bet ID.7 is also utterly slow to charge in winter, just as a cherry on the top.
