Following in the footsteps of those hilarious Germans, we’re going to be changing our name to better reflect a changing automotive landscape as it shifts to electrification.
From now on, we’re The Truth About Current.
I know, I know, change is hard. But EVs are eventually going to have the lion’s share of the market.
I mean, Volkswagen’s failed April Fool’s prank nearly fooled some people because of the future shift to EVs.
Not only that, but this is an easy change for us and for you. You can still type “TTAC.com” into your browser to access the site. We don’t need to change our logo, even!
Heck, MGMT’s “Electric Feel” came up on my Pandora shuffle as I wrote this post, so it just feels right.
I know you may be wondering if we’re sincere after the Volkswagen madness, and after our ill-advised attempt to change our name a year ago. I’ll answer that by saying you should check the date :)

Pretty lame attempt at a joke.
It went “splat” from the get-go.
I didn’t see it as a joke. It’s more that they’re poking fun at themselves for getting so upset over Voltswagen. From that perspective, I found it quite entertaining. Thanks Tim!

HAHA
“The Truth About Current”
Current what? Affairs, politics, jelly, what?
Jelly is my vote!
the jelly would be “currant”.
How about TTACCC – The Truth About Cars, Crossovers and Current?
That would mean a logo redesign, though.
I’m reminded of the time Bart put a Buzz Cola can in the paint shaker and Homer opened it and woke up weeks later in the hospital.
“Me have brain damage? Uh oh! hahaha!”
Electrifying!
Yeah, a little bit of a shock! Kind of a shame after the revolting one from VW! Ohm not surprised at VW trying to pull something like this, but this august site is certainly above it! At least I have the capacity to appreciate the puns; they are hard to resist!
Is this sponsored content?
VW living rent free in Tim’s head.
VW PR 6
That’s what I thought. Sour grapes anyone?
Chalk one more up for VAG
So its:
WORLD: 1
VAG: -6
How current.
I look forward to the test drives of toasters and coffee makers.
My suggestion is The Truth About Circuits or TTAC/DC.
I’m absolutely thunderstruck at that comment! :-D

Voltswagen tricked us all!!!
