    It’s a concept car; none of those things are actually known or knowable yet.

      Ehhh I think it is. You should pretty much expect all of those things from any new car.

      Consumers have spoken and they don’t care about privacy, reliability or repairability.

        Concept cars are, by definition, not actually finished. Nobody will be able to buy the car that was being shown at the car show. The car that will be on sale in 2-3 years will be a thematically similar but fundamentally different creature.

        Things like the onboard computer software/hardware/data sharing model won’t be defined yet. VW’s first party servicing costs or the price of replacement brake pads are not defined yet. It’ll be a job for a future car journalist to report on all those things once it’s actually defined.

          There’s nothing on that list that will be unique to this vehicle.

        How do you know? What car would somebody buy if they cared about those things? There are no choices. There is not enough competition to have enough choices.

          Because at one time there was a choice.
