@Niall @uint8_t @CAWguy it didn't have any consequences that hurted #VW:

  • None of the managers or engineers got jailed
  • nor were they forced to actually change stuff
  • or even buyback cars at the original price + reimburse customers for the hassle of finding a new car and paying it's price or at least the difference to it.

In fact, #Volkswagen basically refuses to do so and their #SoftwareUpdates don't work and in some juristictions cars got forcibly #deregistered because the type certificate got revoked for fraudulent data by the manufacturer, making it road-illegal...

  • Lawsuits of customers are still going on and any #ClassAction would result in VW being able to pay to,stay out of jail!
