Better to lie to the detriment of the environment than to the detriment of the consumer like Tesla does.
What VW did is essentially what developing countries do for their citizens by declaring bogus CO2 numbers in order to make the IPCC/UN/COP happy and keep granting the welfare and quality of life of their citizens providing energy they badly need to live like they deserve.
Too bad they got caught, hopefully the model can be replicated by TATA and Great Wall Co. Ltd as well as other car manufacturers which are located in jurisdictions which are not subject to the ESG tyranny.
- naveen99 4y agoThe lure of lying is you can ignore reality all together. You can even pretend you didn’t get caught lying. You can pretend people still trust you or listen to you.
- Bubble_Pop_22 4y agoI only trust Volvo more than VW because they have a track record of caring about safety. Vehicles aren't a societal purchase, they are an individual's purchase. They should maximize the welfare of the individual who pays up the money. I'd be disappointed if VW didn't keep researching ways to get around emission targets for the benefit of the consumer and against ESG tyranny.
