This is giving me a distinct feeling of dejavu; didn't VW do something in this vein decades ago on the New Beetle when it came out? ISTR people being up in arms about the engine cover being labeled with something along the lines of warranty void if removed by unauthorized service personnel. It was especially memorable at the time because us Libre software folks used to use the analogy "you wouldn't buy a car with the hood welded shut" to try explain the difference between open and closed software to non-tech folks in the 90s. Then in 1998 VW shipped a car very much in the spirit of welding the hood shut. Am I going senile?
