Elon Musk: “What VW is really showing is that we reached the limit of what is possible with diesel and gasoline”

Elon shareholdersTesla CEO Elon Musk is currently traveling across Europe to meet with  Tesla employees and European politicians. During a press conference in Belgium, he briefly commented on the current Volkswagen scandal and cheating on emission-tests:

What Volkswagen is really showing is that we reached the limit of what is possible with diesel and gasoline.

If you need to cheat in order to pass emission tests with diesel and gas, maybe you should use something else? We expect Musk would prefer if manufacturers would use electric powertrains, like Tesla Motors…

Musk is meeting King Filip and later also the Antwerp Burgomaster (town chief magistrate) Bart De Wever. They will drive to the port of Antwerp in a Tesla together where “more talks are taking place”. Musk is expected to talk at the Tesla World conference later today.
