  • I think it’s a scam targeting specific areas

    I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there’s a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.


















  • It’s 27 HP. 27 HP. Literally nobody could tell the difference with a blind test unless on a Dyno or on a racing track.

    And on an ev I would pay extra (one time, fuck subscriptions) to have less HP because that translates to more range, longer life for tires and cheaper insurance.

    In this specific case I’m ok, because it only takes money from gullible people.

    If it was something way more useful like GM that is intentionally disabling carplay or android auto because in this way they can sell a map/data subscription, FUCK THEM!


  • Come on, there are dozens of way more useful features that can be unlocked without paying VW using obdeleven, I’m sure the same can be done for this.

    This is just a fancy way for a driving profile, like eco, sports, normal. Think it like “sports+”

    99% of people wouldn’t feel the need to enable this even if it was free but buried in the app menus

    And the most important thing is that there’s still the option to get it lifetime and tied to the car, so when you sell the car the new owner can still use it, unlike Tesla where you pay $10k for “full” self driving but then when you sell the car the feature vanishes into thin air and they keep the money without refund
