$2 Billion Fines/Penalties for Emission Defeat Services

To all the GPF delete vendors out there advertising on FerrariChat, you have been warned

Does this have anything to do with the 458/488/F8? Did I miss something?

 

GPF delete on F8 = emission defeat device, the subject of the article

 

Gotcha. I'm not familiar with that. I was wondering what deleting diesel emissions had to do with Ferrari LOL.

 

Rolling coal is definitely more dramatic, but the underlying illegality is the same for a GPF delete

 

Looks like eBay's greed reached a little too far and they got burnt!

 

$2B has to hurt even a company the size of eBay
that is a lot of coin

 

We will see. There is a lot of legal language with selling on Ebay that puts the burden on the Seller.....not Ebay. The Seller agrees to it before their listing goes live. Once Ebay is notified by the government it will take proactive steps but other than the clickbait DOJ headline........my money is on Ebay. Ebay can no more be responsible for content than any other social media or ecommerce platform.


So it took EPA and DOJ 2015 to 2023 to figure out this was happening? Isn't that the bigger problem?

 

eBay will be a worthy adversary to the DOJ and EPA
Until now they have been hammering mid-west redneck small businesses selling these defeat devices
Not a fair fight

 

Good, no GPF delete is anywhere near what diesels are doing.

 

Todd please stfu

 

Get back in your Kia

 

I'm going to put sport cats on it just for you. Really get those hamsters running in there and bring the HP up to a peak 100.

 

I believe some states will clamp down more on these emissions delete mod's than others. Here is Florida there is no state emissions inspection. A lot of exotic car and sports cars, diesel pick up trucks and on and on remove the cat's, do tunes, run straight pipes and there is zero law enforcement on these mod's.
It' like all the exotic cars around here run Montana plates.... zero enforcement. I can't tell you how many "dudes" approach me and tell me how much money I am wasting with my Florida plate on my Ferrari...LOL

 

In order to “roll coal” you also have to dump about a gallon of used motor oil in your fuel tank. Not just delete the emissions. Old diesels made smoke before ultra low sulfur diesel was the standard. It’s not the emissions junk that stopped that.

 

This series of empty flights is probably more pollution than all Ferraris have emitted, ever
