- fred_is_fred 3y agoYes I am aware. Henry Ford was also problematic. There's a difference between present day which will impact my life and the lives of my kids and something that is 80 years old. I have gay family members and a daughter and I worry about what this election cycle will do to both. VW isn't going to change that, Musk might.

- speedgoose 3y agoVW is saving money on stupid things on their vehicles. Hard plastics, terrible buttons on the steering wheel, tiny screens and bad sound systems on the default models to invite you to pay more…
