The German car-maker says its “optional power upgrade” is designed to give customers more choice.

    I also think this is misusing the current statistics and drawing wrong conclusions.

    Nobody is asking for these kind of subscription models.

      In France, people who have VW cars are not the best or brightest drivers. It could work.

        FTFY

        VW are garbage, have been since, well, forever.

        70’s VW factory replacement parts were so bad you’d get water pumps with incompletely drilled mount holes.

        Today, the electrics do dumb things like combine the AC control with the power window controls in a box in the drivers door. You know, an area that will deal with moisture.

        Drive down the road and note how often a VW has an entire taillight that doesn’t work.

        Their electrics are shit. (Other brands have their own issues, American brands are only a little better, or worse, depending on the brand and model).
