What’s pretty funny is someone reserved the domain Voltswagen.com almost 18 years ago. If they’re smart, they won’t sell the domain but wangle some deal where they get a free, new, car every time the company leapfrogs the technology so they’ll always be current (pun intended).
What might be even funnier is that the “name change” was a hoax with a fake news release. The story broke a short time ago, media outlets including the AP & MSNBC reported the name change after being assured by company officials that it was legit. VW has now admitted it’s true. Funny, not funny? And, when it was 1st announced, their stock went up. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/unwelcome-prank-volkswagen-purposely-hoodwinks-reporters-76780835
