Ok mr reviewer

Why don't you tell us less about WV's strategy a more about how the car is.

Does it spy on you? What kind of EULA will I need to agree to? Does it have car play/android auto? Does it have a 4G antenna to connect to VW servers even if I don't enable the feature? Does it have an app? In what ways is VW going to try to get subscription money from me? How much does servicing cost? How much will a set of brake pads cost? Does VW support 3rd party repair shops? Does VW try to lockdown parts and forbid 3rd party repairs? Can it be remotely disabled? By me, by VW, by law enforcement? What happens when the battery needs replacing? What is the visibility like? If it horrible does it have obstable detection?

The car he's reviewing does not exist. He has some technical specs and a few renders to review.

Does it spy on you?

All new cars do and this one doesn't even hide it, it's called "id everyone".

Not to mention that VW lied to its customers before with the emissions scam...

Funny how you're mostly asking questions that no real human cares about when shopping for car...

What do your people ask then? "Does it come in red too?"

The average person doesn't give a crap about all the privacy stuff, they care about range, how it drives, the warranty, the options.

People who care about privacy will never win this fight because normies will keep buying the cars.
