Volkswagen: Difference between revisions
I have created a rough sketch for the Volkswagen page. I am hoping a more experienced editor will add the aftermath, in which CARIAD said the issue did not matter (per verge, https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/30/24332181/volkswagen-data-leak-exposed-location-evs). I also need someone to upload the Volkwsagen logo as I am currently unable to. |
