Yes I understand what a concept car is. That changes nothing about my comment because it wasn't about this specific car.

Things like the onboard computer software/hardware/data sharing model won't be defined yet.

Yes it is. It will use the same software and data sharing model as every other VW. They're not going to create entirely new ones just for this vehicle.

They're not going to create entirely new ones just for this vehicle.

If you read the article (I know, controversial) you'll see that that's exactly what they're suggesting they're doing, yes.

Personally I wouldn't hold my breath that it'll be better, but it is going to be completely different to their current software stack.

The article doesn't say anything about that.

VW says the production version of the ID. EVERY1 will be the company’s first vehicle to feature a new “powerful” software architecture that promises over-the-air updates. (Software has proven to be a bit of a pain for VW, with bugs and infrequent updates plaguing its ID family of vehicles for years.)

It does not say that it will be different in any of the ways that OP inquired about.

They might but only if they're building something new for their entire range.
