I think it's cool. Also the "Parts Manual (EPC)" [0] is interesting since it contains the part numbers of a couple of models (maybe all, I don't know what models they offer) and is very well organized. I'm not sure I'd find this for my VW. [0] https://epc.tesla.com/#/catalogs https://epc.tesla.com/#/catalogs

What's missing from https://parts.vw.com/ https://parts.vw.com/ ? The Tesla UI is a little better, I guess. It's also not particularly difficult to find the VW parts catalog software, EKTA. There's an industry-standard set of interchange formats for spare part number listings called PIES and ACES. Unfortunately no vendor I'm aware of openly shares the underlying PIES/ACES data.

  Thanks for informing me. Sadly my car isn't listed. I wonder if this kind of limited to the US marked maybe because it's some legal obligation there?

    I never really figured out why there's not a corresponding non-US market official site, it might be a regulation thing indeed. https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/ https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/ has what I think is a scraped version of EKTA (it's supplied by https://levam.net https://levam.net ) and is absolutely infested with horrible ads, but has pretty complete catalogs for ROW cars.
