I found one of the articles that reported no heat pump in the U.S. (it was not on our list of features, I would love to be wrong on this one)
Closer look at VW’s new ID.4 electric SUV: Available from the start on Canadian models (but not initially in the US) is a heat pump to help get the car up to temperature quickly in the cold of winter. “The pump features a new type of refrigerant with a lower boiling point, which makes it more efficient at extreme low temperatures,” explains Patrick Danielson, director of product planning at Volkswagen Canada. “That reduces the load on the high-voltage battery to improve real-world range in winter conditions.”
Here is a VW blurb on the heat pump, says it works to -25F, that's pretty impressive!
