I only spent a few minutes on Google so you'd have to do your own research since I am not familiar with the Tiguan although I know the MQB platform it's built on. Anyway for the Tiguan you might have to actually order a part, the

The neat thing about the Haldex is that with just a software tune you can substantially improve the performance of it. The hardware is actually far more capable than you'd ever know with the enormous amount of slack that's progra

I'm not even sure most people on HN feel that way, although there's plenty of criticism here. Most of the time I use ChatGPT I become genuinely upset within a few minutes because it's so brazenly awful and regularly ignores

> You either need enough data for it to be statistically significant I guess this wasn't clear, but I thought this was implied. When I said it's "more likely" I meant you can quantify it. You are correct of course.

You were the one originally implying Airbus is as dangerous as Boeing, so the burden of proof is on you. I'll take this as confirmation you have no data to support your claim. Cheers.

You never asked me for data, you were just implying Boeing isn't as bad as everyone says. So I said let's quantify it. And then you started getting upset with the data presented to you. I said to provide better data if you have
