After clicking on a $43k chandelier, now my “recommended products” for underwear is just a bunch of diamond-encrusted things…

Edit: thongs, damn autocorrect. But it still works

I have to imagine that my credit card would flag it as fraudulent, since it is approximately $845,000 above my credit limit.

It’s just down the hall, around a slight bend to the left. Not sure why there are lines painted in the halls of this building…hope I get there first!

A guy who went through such an experience made a webcomic about it. Very long read, but incredibly powerful.

There probably won’t be a decrease in power, as it was likely an aftertreatment issue (sizing, durability, cost cutting) that made them decide to use a defeat device. Cummins would retrofit every cheating engine with a brand new aftertreatment system at great cost rather than reduce the power of their engines. The brand damage of reducing power would far outweigh any repair and warranty costs.

Very likely. Higher NOx out of the engine generally means lower fuel consumption, so the fix will likely decrease the real world mpg that owners were seeing.

I’ve not yet seen any technical information on the defeat device, but from my time in the industry I can make an educated guess how it will play out
