With the exception of the efficiency numbers, none of these seem like problems that would take 10 years to resolve, even at the glacial pace of most automakers.

With the exception of the efficiency numbers, none of these seem like problems that would take 10 years to resolve, even at the glacial pace of most automakers. Many of them even seem like software issues that would be resolvable via firmware updates.
400wh/mi though, oof. That would be about as expensive to operate as my current gas-powered vehicle (both around 10c/mi).

I didn’t go into the extremely confusing MMI, lack of OTA updates, etc. There is no way to escalate issues to VAG corporate. Even if they pressed reset on their software engineering team tomorrow it’d take a few years to ramp up to catch Tesla.
