Yes, but what they didn’t say in that statement is they were attempting to correct the issue post-incident to cover their tracks before the owners got together and gave testimony. They kept telling drivers it was a one off issue that no one had experienced, while in reality many had been affected. They even offered significant payoffs to some. It was well past negligence and into active harm.

When advised cars were bricking on the highway, the report states “Porsche did not consider this a safety concern”

Somebody else here in another thread said that the Germans seem to be a gullible people, and that if he was German, he would be running all kinds of scams. Well, this is exactly what seems to be happening in many places that, from the outside, look like German success stories. They scam, manipulate and take shortcuts. That’s the shadow of gullibility. On the one hand, you do what you are told and look up to authority. And on the other hand, when you make a mistake, you cover up. And you tell yourself the story that you are the victim, after all. And that, if you didn’t do it, somebody else would. There is an old book from the 1930s about how to raise a child. It is called “Mommy, tell me about Adolf Hitler“. Parents in Germany today obviously don’t read that anymore. But many of them still raise their kids in the same way they themselves were raised. And with just two or three generations distance, that mindset that made Nazi Germany possible is still very much alive.
