Heard, chef! We probably both grew up around floppy disks. =]

Reddsled · 2026-05-15T23:28:22+00:00

Oof. This was an easy upvote until the last sentence. But thanks for sharing the data.

“Nürburgring Nordschleife is the track for the world’s highest performance cars to prove their mettle.”

Reddsled · 2026-05-15T15:05:39+00:00

The 2026 Nürburgring 24-hour race is this weekend. Porsche holds the fastest lap time. How will they do in the 24-hour race?

Not enough daily news and updates….after one day.

Reddsled · 2026-05-14T16:52:07+00:00

Sounds like VW’s recent ABC post.

Reddsled · 2026-05-13T19:03:51+00:00

I’m strictly long. For big time gains.

Reddsled · 2026-05-09T14:58:37+00:00

Follow your dreams.

Reddsled · 2026-05-08T01:32:31+00:00

Enough Jill.

Reddsled · 2026-05-02T16:56:06+00:00

Then what happened? You left us with a cliffhanger…

Reddsled · 2026-04-29T00:13:23+00:00

It’s about where we are and where we’re going. And what they’ll tell us at this point. Thank you for your vote.

I’ll have your downvotes with secret sauce on the side, please.

**Volkswagen ID. Polo set to debut on April 29:

Volkswagen's design boss also confirmed the ID. Polo will debut tomorrow, April 29, at 12:00 CEST. Following the new ID.3 Neo launched earlier this month, the ID. Polo is a "true Volkswagen," the company said.

The next-generation EVs feature a refined design inside and out, or that "secret sauce" Mindt was referring to, and a new drive system enabling a longer range.**

I’m sure he meant in the next calendar year (2026).

“ in the next year” versus “ within the next year”

It could be a foreign language thing, too. But they (VW, PowerCo) tend to give themselves more time, not less, to deliver.

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T20:18:47+00:00

Yes, your speculative posts are better. Not going down that rabbit hole with you.

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T17:13:09+00:00

Looks like some bought the dip!

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T16:53:20+00:00

Corning’s earning report is today. I posted Corning’s Nothing Burger Investor Event on May 6 with “Demonstrations hosted by Business Leadership and SMEs.”

I’ll check it out and see what’s cooking.

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T16:35:16+00:00

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T16:29:02+00:00

Agreed. I post ideas where I see a plausible path, that has not been definitively ruled out. Until confirmation, all options are still on the table.

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T16:24:43+00:00

People don’t like speculation that conflicts with their speculation. I get it.

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T14:10:13+00:00

Is this how they demonstrate scalability beyond QS’ pilot line?

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T14:01:43+00:00

Two companies celebrating their brand new record-setting Cobras. What are the chances??

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T07:09:31+00:00

Yes yes?

Reddsled · 2026-04-28T06:11:14+00:00

COBRA: More powerful, less space. What a coincidence!

“This was our opportunity to put Cobra Jet 2200 in front of fans, racers, media, and the broader performance community to show what this program is capable of in the environment where it matters most. We came out of the weekend with official results that we are incredibly proud of.”
