I can only imagine brother. As a TDI owner myself, I don’t understand how this whole thing got to where it is today. As you mentioned, TDI owners were/are the most meticulous about maintaining and keeping a vehicle for a long time. Now everything has changed.

But do the windows work???

You seem like the type of “mindset” that purposely misses the trashcan so that a Janitor can pick it up for you....

Wrong?

The throttle pedal IS a potentiometer...

“There are two primary types of throttle position sensors (TPS): a potentiometer or a non-contact sensor Hall Effect sensor (magnetic device). A potentiometer is a satisfactory way for non-critical applications such as volume control on a radio, but as it has a wiper…

The biggest problem is that sure Tesla can say “Datalogs showed 100% throttle application”. However this still doesn’t mean that somehow the potentiometer (throttle) in the car didn’t short out or give a false reading to the ECU.

Again with the zero lag these electric cars have any small hiccup in the electronics are…

“it boils down to whether your key is locked into the ignition. If that’s the case, they say, a madman could come barreling in and steal the vehicle.”

What’s next? Getting a ticket for leaving the key in your ride around lawn mower cause a madman could run over children? Tickets for leaving your door unlocked cause a…

This guy is a HERO!

Don’t try this at home? I want to try this a WORK!

A car that doesn’t even make it through a single day without breaking down?

What kind of dumb comment is that? I drove my GTS ACR 2000 miles across the country in 3 days. What pile of crap do YOU drive?

Exactly what I was thinking! Then they go and drop $200 on a new windshield and call it a day! :D

Honda did something similar in the 70s when they took a GM car and made it much more fuel efficient when GM said it couldn’t be done.

Toyota will say “thank you very much” and take the baton from Tesla and run. Nobody wants a Nissan leaf or any EV for that matter which evokes the anxiety of not making it to your…

Pretty sure his Dieselgate broke, dude...

THIS!!!

Bad as in terrible and better to take a drive to Wal-Mart. Prices are not worth it and delivery network just isn’t the same. Just moved from Toronto to Los Angeles and can confirm. Didn’t have prime in Toronto, have prime now.

As a TDI owner myself, I really do not have pity for anyone who “jumped the gun” and happily went and bought a new car without knowing any of the settlement details or how the process will work.

As you have pointed out, there are hundreds of thousands of potential buybacks to happen with a system that is going to be…

A drone can go 9000ft? Doesn’t sound like a typical consumer drone...

Number one tip from someone who has had 1000's of encounters with deer on the road and never struck one.

BLAST THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR HORN!!!

It scares them and gets them out of their dumbfounded gaze into the headlights and bolting away from the sound. If you can have the impulse and natural reaction to do this it works…

Ohhh Baybayyy youuuuuuu! Got what I neeeeeeeeeeed!

Make cars great again!

This is like asking someone if they ever laughed or smiled too much!

Try being on a motorcycle with your visor open! Then you will really know the true meaning of the word FUCK!!!!
