Users are speaking out against Volkswagen’s decision, with one commenter stating:

Why are they shooting themselves in the feet? Is this really a tangible income stream? Is it really increasing security?

Another commenter notes the contrast between European and Chinese automakers, saying:

The group of German automakers were older men in black suits all wearing badges with titles like Senior Executive Sales blablabla. Whereas the Chinese were all young people wearing casual clothing and much more engineering minded. No wonder why European auto makers are doing so badly. They forgot to please people.

The debate highlights the tension between corporate interests and user needs in the automotive industry.
