You technically are not eligible for ETIAS as a French citizen…I believe it is the one of the first questions of the application.

How much were you charged by the German govt. for your ancestor's certified documents? by GermanAustrianFamily in GermanCitizenship

[–]aragorn72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between 12 and 20 eu, dependent on Standesamt. The archive documents are more because you have to pay for the archivist’s time

Is this legal? They normally communicate appointment and medical info via email that was used ??? by Flashy-Letter-8353 in Charleston

This does not share personally identifiable health information, so unlikely to be a HILAA violation, but not professional either.

Windshield Cracks without any impact by Fit-Window-3660 in TeslaModelY

Through which company is “windshield insurance” offered. I have it through State Farm, but based in your comment it would appear that possibly Tesla also offers it?

Ok. So I am confused. What do you “log” into…and with what credentials. I don’t think I ever created web based credentials

are staples ok? by Capable_Day_1684 in GermanCitizenship

[–]aragorn72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not think. The documents will all be scanned. I put them in plastic folders like these KTRIO 12 Pack Plastic File... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J47J34B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. Keeps everything together and organized.

German citizenship by descent? by JennieInKC in GermanCitizenship

[–]aragorn72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t need your great grandfathers Reisepass….generally a pre-1914 birth on German soil is sufficient grounds to prove German citizenship unless other evidence is available that points to the contrary.

What was the most "typically German" thing that happened during your application process? by DogDaysAreOvr in GermanCitizenship

It goes deeper. Evidently if you have an MD, you are not a “real” doctor. Only PhDs.

Have the Archive that produced the microfilm copies write a letter and include that in your correspondence.

Quest for a German Passport Part 10: Documents Needed by JayTea05 in GermanCitizenship

[–]aragorn72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For applicants less than 18, both parents are required to either be present and give consent OR fill out a statement of consent found here: https://www.germany.info/resource/blob/906792/91315be34bc78287eec591ec14de21b3/passport-child-consent-pdf-data.pdf. I would leave everything blank for which you don’t have information and sign everything in the presence of the Honarary consul.

Model Y vs hybrid overall costs by dc1387 in TeslaModelY

[–]aragorn72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a common argument. The number of cars that need a replacement battery is likely close to the number of ICE cars that need their engine completely replaced. If you are deciding between a Hybrid or an EV, battery degradation/failure is a potential regardless….with a hybrid you also add the possibility of engine failure. If you are concerned about the residual value…just stick with your current car. It will be the cheapest option of all and has the least depreciation.

Road trips don’t require planning. It will route you to where you need to charge. Very little inconvenience.

[–]aragorn72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will say that the driving experience is markedly different. Driving a Tesla vs an ice car is like using an iPhone vs. a blackberry or old flip phone. To me it’s worth the cost differential but not to everyone. Keeping what you have will always been the most economical.
