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.
Let me go ahead and answer all these questions right now for all the downvoters:
Yes. Like every other VW.
All the EULAs. Same as any other VW.
Yes. Like every other VW.
Yes. Like every other VW.
Yes. Like every other VW.
VW Flex, like every other VW.
Depends on what your local dealership charges, they are franchises.

No.
No.
Yes.
You...replace it?
Fine.
Yes. Like every other VW.
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.
Yes I understand what a concept car is. That changes nothing about my comment because it wasn't about this specific car.
Yes it is. It will use the same software and data sharing model as every other VW. They're not going to create entirely new ones just for this vehicle.
If you read the article (I know, controversial) you'll see that that's exactly what they're suggesting they're doing, yes.
Personally I wouldn't hold my breath that it'll be better, but it is going to be completely different to their current software stack.
The article doesn't say anything about that.
It does not say that it will be different in any of the ways that OP inquired about.
They might but only if they're building something new for their entire range.
this is not true. I am avoiding Hyundai-Kia for this reason
And buying what instead?
Hyundai's EVs are awesome
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.
A lot of that isn't known until nearly the last minute. Especially any of the hard metrics like mp/kwh, range, and especially any infotainment specifics.
There's nothing on that list that will be unique to this vehicle.
