By the way, regarding additional profit stream, to access VW data before you still needed WeConnect subscription (100€ a year), just that before you could use another app or automation to access the data. Now you MUST use exclusively WeConnect and partners to access same data even though you paying already for subscription.
Dieselgate should have been enough reason already IMO. And VW's response to it. Throwing some low level employees under the bus (transporter?) so that the big bosses could walk free
