One night this past winter working late shift, I discovered the full movie is available on youtube.

I mean, what can they really do? Offer a Tesla certification course? It’s an opt-in feature with a read me in plain english describing the limitations onscreen as you enable it. I’m sure there is more education when the owner takes delivery, as well.

True, some people might assume this but I don’t think anyone operating a plane would try to sue Boeing for an incident where they weren’t paying attention. Tesla’s legal disclaimers to the operator are sufficiently clearly stated that anyone driving one should know exactly what the system can and can’t do.

I just hope that Tesla’s point about the system being statistically safer comes through and can be validated by more data. It makes sense to me that reducing driver workload can help prevent fatigue, but we need more detailed data on that claim and some validation from more parties.

Tesla calls it an ‘autopilot’

If Apple’s issue is with Spotify charging a different amount for subscriptions initiated in-app, then Spotify can do what all the other subscription services do and not offer an in-app method of subscribing. It’s a little clunky, but most people will (rightly) recognize the limitation as originating in Apple’s court…

If VW’s best talent hasn’t been working full-time on a fix since last fall, they’re even stupider than I thought.

If I’m not mistaken, don’t most gas stations make all their profit inside the store and not at the pumps? If so this is a good business move for them.

Why not have a poll on this article?

I’ve been in touch with the local dealer about Golf R’s - they want $1500 on top of MSRP and aren’t sure if they will get any actual cars anytime soon. Shame, it’s really the only interesting car left in their lineup at this point.

Take the money and run (to a Golf R)

As far as I understand it, that’s the case. But we’ll likely have to wait until the settlement gets going to see for sure.

If you owned it when the scandal broke you are in.

That makes two of us!

My argument, however, was that BG’s original argument held true (direct replacement) for a reasonable set of constraints.

Here’s my example: 2013 Jetta w/sunroof and DSG and assuming 60k miles in October:

Technology marches on. Diesel or not, there will be better alternatives. Sure, the complete package can’t really be found today, but this isn’t a unicorn. It’s just a fairly efficient, low-priced car.

Saying there will never be a comparable replacement for these cars is a little dramatic, don’t you think?

That’s an excellent point. TDI owners should be driving around like grandma until the settlement comes through.

I don’t know about other people, but resale value was a big factor in my purchase decision. It was formerly quite good on these cars.
