Dieselgate: How the Auto Industry Lied to Us All | The Volkswagen Emissions Scandal Documentary
It’s the biggest scandal in German industrial history: For more than ten years, automobile manufacturers and suppliers working for lots of different companies lied to consumers and authorities by deliberately manipulating the exhaust emissions of their vehicles. With catastrophic consequences: Almost 20 million car owners worldwide were cheated. The reputation of Germany’s car industry is ruined. And the consequences for human health and the environment are immense. In this investigative documentary, industry insiders reveal that this is the logical consequence of a culture of profit maximization at the expense of morality, decency and legality.
The background of the diesel scandal - how Germany’s carmakers and their suppliers deliberately developed illegal defeat devices, exploited legal loopholes and lied to consumers and control authorities for decades - is breath-taking. The main protagonists of our film are whistle-blowers fighting against powerful car bosses. An ex-engineer, an ex-manager, a lawyer - they all break their silence for the first time in front of the camera to reveal the criminal activities in Germany’s car industry.
We closely follow our protagonists and accompany them in their often very personal fight against injustice and cover-ups. The film concentrates on their personal accounts and interweaves news reports and official statements, and thus exposes the discrepancy between what we were lead to believe and what really happened.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Electric car aren't zero emissions, they are zero exhaust pipe emissions. There are still emissions from brakes and tyres, look for PM 2.5 emissions.
How does this only have 6k views!?!

It's a documentary from 2017 uploaded 2023. I'm sure 5 years ago it would have a lot more views
How do Volkswagen executives sleep at night?
It wasn't "the auto industry", it was EU car manufacturers.
⛽ *"DIESELGATE"* ⛽ _"As part of a legal settlement with California, VW is required to spend $800 million in the state on electric vehicle infrastructure and promoting "awareness"..._ and _"another $1.2 billion outside California promoting electric vehicles."_ Across the USA, for instance, _"the Volkswagen settlement helps pay for installing electric charging stations."_ 📖 *DANIEL YERGIN* , _'The New Map' (New York: Penguin Press, 2020), p335-336 and p340._
VW solicitor told me the website statements on the Cupra EV charging were a “range” of performance only. Not that it said that! I replied that it is never in the range. No reply. VW just blank you. Off to Court we go
Next up is probably EVgate as VW charging statements are not accurate. Same old same old

I agree and maybe to expand on diesel gate as far as how reliable these cars were. You could easily get 300K-500k mi out of one of these engines. Meanwhile the current crop of vehicle has major failures between 60k to 100k miles with catastrophic failures in the drive line as well. Overly complicated supply chains etc meanwhile I'm supposed to believe that these cars were the worst thing in the world for the environment but throwing vehicles away like Kleenex is good for the environment? People are pretty gullible I got to tell you😅
