Sorry, "software-defined" is what I meant 😅. I would love to see OEMs follow though with such a plan, but remains to be seen. I know there's already software support problems for first-gen Porsche Taycans.

Taycan isn’t an SDV. Anything on PPE is, so Macan, Q6, A6. The Volvo EX90 is an SDV. And yes, they have been buggy. But never, ever buy a car in its first year of production.

I know VW was also working on it's "Trinity" platform successor to MEB, but both MEB/MEB+ and Porsche/Audi PPE are now set to be replaced by SSP into the next decade?
