Does any know how the drive is configured?

Unfortunately looking under the car doesn't help as its all covered up.

Is it a single motor with a differential or two separate motors?

From what I have seen in pictures etc, also https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/ ... x-meb-3677, it looks like a single motor between the rear wheels.

Roadhawk Thanks for the link.

Assuming that is what we have in our ID3's then it certainly appears to be a single motor close coupled to the two stage single speed gearbox and differential. Although i am surprised that the diff seems to have very few teeth compared with what i am used to but I am not a gearbox designer!
