I think people are missing the fact that the features of this VW are going away because they run on 3G. What can a car manufacturer do? Correct me if I'm wrong, you can't just drop a new antenna to fix the problem.

Cars routinely last 15 years and that's geologic time compared to tech. This isn't just a problem of greed or lack of foresight.
