Tesla delivered 83,500 vehicles in the third quarter, more than expected

I will never buy from the VW group again. It's almost like people have forgotten about the whole TDI scandal. They literally lied to the world about dirty diesel. Not to mention the new class action lawsuit for both VW and Audi TSI models where they put bad engine parts into new cars.

After the TDI emissions scandal I would never support this corrupt company. Porsche, VW, or Audi - they're all corrupt and in my opinion create engines that systematically fail to keep you coming in. Look at the reimbursement schedule on the class action lawsuit - if your car's engine fails after 100,000 miles they are not paying for anything, which has personally affected me.

And exactly what car companies will pay for engine if it fails after 100K miles? Come on, 100K miles and you want to complain about reliability?

> which has personally affected me.

And here you've clearly announced that your condemnation of VW has nothing to do with morals or ethics and everything to do with your personal inconvenience. Your indignation about the diesel scandal is a front to mask your self-serving agenda.

Chrysler (incl. Jeep and Dodge) has a standard lifetime powertrain warranty.

Which doesn't cover their diesel engines, hybrids nor SRT variants of petrol engines.

Thanks, that's pretty interesting. I wasn't aware of that.

Hyundai/Kia will, at least up to 100k. I think Suzuki tried to promise a 10/120 warranty for a little while before they went out of the US.

If you were going to draw the morality line, you'd think WWII era things would have been plenty for you on VW.

And Porsche built prototype tanks, other German companies did bad stuff. Lets not forget IBM.

Life sucks, WWII sucked, all of my family, women and men served, but I love Porsches and I will continue to own them.
