It doesn't sound like a huge fiasco tbh. Those cars were scheduled to be delivered in Summer and the software patches are supposed to be delivered over air after they've patched those 20.000 cars. No customer will get their car later because of this.
It's nothing compared to the fiasco they "suffered" through the Diesel manipulations

- nl 7y agoVW is owned by Porsche not the other way around. This is incorrect, and the story behind VW buying Porsche after Porsche attempted to buy VW is one of the greatest stories in corporate finance. Additonally the two sides of the Porsche/Piëch (Ferdinand Piëch - VW Chariman - was Ferdinand Porsche's grandson) family were rivals, and Ferdinand Piëch had an affair with his sister-in-law Marlene Porsche. https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/10/31/1540962002000/The-day-Volkswagen-briefly-conquered-the-world/ https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2018/10/31/1540962002000/The-day... Here's the second half of that story, where VW got there revenge on Porsche for the attempted take overs. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/jul/05/volkswagen-buys-porsche https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/jul/05/volkswagen-...
