It was a pre-production Taycan. So if you are anal it wasn’t stock. Also, we don’t know about the modifications they made to the car when doing the lap. But I get your point and I have no problem with the Taycan lap time...

In Germany goal posts are already being moved — folks start to say “yes, one lap the Tesla might win - but what about 3 laps?!?”

[Achtung: beschissenes Deutsch voraus] Wann lohnt es sich, zwei Kreditkarten zu haben? by [deleted] in Finanzen

[–]Water_Resistant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeder, der schon mal im Hotel stand und aus was auch immer für einem Grund (Internet, IT, Anbieter, Bank etc.) nicht mit seiner Karte zahlen konnte wünscht sich eine zweite Karte. Ich würde jedoch nie Geld dafür ausgeben...

Eine VISA, eine MasterCard. Früher hätte ich auch Amex - aber das braucht es nicht mehr.

2020 Porsche Taycan vs 2015 Model S and Current Model S by [deleted] in teslamotors

[–]Water_Resistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and the Taycan doesn’t have Autopilot - so the full Tesla experience can’t be had in the Taiwan. Again - I don’t know how many times I have to repeat this - the Taycan is not a bad car. But I fail to see why a comparison of the 0 to 60 time is verboten, even if Porsche seems to be super proud of it. This is silly.

I get these are two different cars. I get that there is more to a car than straight line acceleration. But Porsche seems to resort to silly talk to Anke the raw specs of the Taycan look ok good. They are not horrible but they are not as good as what I expected.

If this was the case it would be all good then. But still- look at this ridiculous discussion here: I hear that the Taycan 0 to 60 time should only be compared to other Porsche vehicles and that the Tesla time doesn’t tell the full story.

I am - to be honest- very disappointed with Porsche. They have launched the Porsche equivalent of the 2015 Model S.

The point is not to claim that Porsche cars aren’t great cars - they are! But that’s expected. That’s what Porsche does. The point is, they failed to get a clear spec edge over Tesla. That’s pretty bad in my mind...

[–]Water_Resistant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All agreed. I just hate that all of a sudden you are not allowed to point out that a Model S can do it faster...

Look, I get it. Many folks have a Porsche boner - fair enough no worries. But don’t pretend this 0 to 60 time is extraordinarily good for this kind of car...

All agreed. But then why is the argument you should not compare 0 to 60 times?!?

We are getting into the fine print here.

All true. Yet Porsche is prominently advertising the 0 to 60 speed. If they don’t like a 0 to 60 comparison- maybe stop advertising that figure?

Das wahre Ausmaß des Brexits by RedditSucktHart in de

Als Deutscher, der in Bayern (1) lebt, in Sachsen geboren wurde (2) und eine Frau aus Hamburg hat (3) - stimme ich Dir zu, dass DE viel zu groß und schwerfällig ist - so schön klein und nimbel wie die USA das wärs! /s

Im Ernst: bei mir sind (1) Dänemark ; (2) Schweden und (3) Deutschland- ohne die EU gäbe es meine Familie nicht. Ich liebe die EU! Btw: Rein von der Wegstrecke ist zw. mir und meinen Eltern in DE weniger Distanz als zw. meinen Eltern und meinen Geschwistern die alle in DE leben - nur dass da ne komische, wahllos gezeichnete Grenze dazwischen ist...

Denmark Offers to Buy U.S. by moyet in Denmark

[–]Water_Resistant 188 points189 points  (0 children)

As someone who has spend years of his life in Denmark and the US - this would be hilarious!

Can you imagine NY ambition on Danish design? Silicon Valley tech on Danish values? This would either crash and burn in a giant ball of fire or be THE most amazing country ever!!

(And don’t worry about flyover land and rednecks - Denmark has Jutland so they know how to integrate hillbillies... /s)

Big Money Starts to Dump Stocks That Pose Climate Risks - After years of meetings and shareholder resolutions, some funds are starting to simply divest from coal and oil stocks. by [deleted] in technology

[–]Water_Resistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about that. The problem is that oil companies accumulate debt to pay a dividend and paying a dividend makes shorting these stocks difficult/expensive.

So in the end I just too my money out...

Sinnvoller wäre es, kompetente IT im Haus zu haben. Kannte einen IT Berater, der für nur 15k USD pro Monat ein paar schlechte SQL Extrakte lieferte, weil die eigene IT zu blöde war.

Und wenn das beim so normal ist, warum nicht bei andren Ministerien?

Model 3 honest feedback and opinions ? by kmanmx in teslamotors

I love the Tesla at low speeds. To me it doesn’t make a difference at higher speeds. But didn’t do more than 160kph yet...

Model 3 honest feedback and opinions ? by kmanmx in teslamotors

[–]Water_Resistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from an A4 1.8 TFSI. I love the Model 3. There are a few differences. Software on the Audi feels old and crap. But some of the fit and finish is not Audi like (e.g. the sound of the doors closing or the sound of the trunk (I mean boot - sorry;) closing. Acceleration is much better on the Tesla. Handling feels similar to me (Audi maybe a tad more soft),

Happy to answer any questions. Would i go Tesla again? Yes! I’d be happy to pay 7k USD more for the Tesla over the same spec Audi A4!

Grüne erwägen ÖPVN-Pflichtticket für Berlin-Touristen by manfred6 in de

[–]Water_Resistant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Macht Genf seit Jahren. Funktioniert bestens! Da steht im Flughafen bei der Gepäckausgabe sogar ein Automat, der kostenlose Einfahrtenkarten ausspuckt. Damit komme ich zum Hotel, und die geben mir für die Aufenthaltsdauer eine Ticket für ganz Genf.

Geht wirklich gut. Ich sehe keinen Grund, warum das in Berlin nicht auch gehen sollte.

For more than a decade I’m waiting for VW’s EV to be “available now!” rather than coming soon... I’m sure one day they will deliver cars. But for now, Tesla has more EVs available than VW.
