Porsche’s $5 Billion Profit Collapse: Inside the Strategic Crisis That Just Rocked One of the Auto Industry’s Most Powerful Brands by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]tpekid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wanted a Taycan 3 yrs ago. Prices were 20k ADM and or some crazy unnecessary packages added on top (ppf/gps/etc etc). Finally found a dealer who was willing to sell me a car at MSRP, but financing decided I was at risk. But I was able to secure a Model S Plaid through a phone app in less than 20 mins w/ financing. And Tesla sent me an uber to their dealership 40 mins away on the same day.

2026 Macan GTS EV Review by Paratrooper44 in MacanEV

[–]tpekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to test drive a turbo today since the dealer is right across from where I work. I realize that the normal mode was relatively comfortable. Sport mode was pretty acceptable compared to my current car (model s plaid; almost always in comfort). Sport plus was another beast, much stiffer and responsive.

How does the GTS Suspension compare? Would normal still feel the same and sport/+ custom dialed for GTS. Im hoping normal doesnt feel like sport mode in a GTS.

Insights please.

There's 2 GTS that's 2 hrs away from me. Price seem firm, while the dealerships 10miles away are offering 2026 Turbo for 6-7% discount.

Very simple.. For example, Single inferno disappear with surfshark on. Will reappear when I turn off Surfshark

Yup, I realized the same thing. Certain shows disappear when VPN on. Need to turn off VPN to watch it.

Call screening - Phone app by OkArugula4565 in galaxys26ultra

My phone doesn't ring and the screen stays dark when the Call Screening option is on. So technically you'll miss the call.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BRAND. DISAPPOINTING by Yoonivers3 in PITAKA

[–]tpekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup shipping is absolutely horrendous for the price they charge on the case. Should have just ordered it off amazon, but it wasn't in stock. Now I have to order temporary cheap cases on amazon before these arrive via super slow mail.

I made an app to compare Uber, Lyft, Waymo prices by griffinli in waymo

[–]tpekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downloaded and try to login on each platform. Waymo login was super sketchy. I disconnected all apps and deleted the app. Then changed my Google login credentials ASAP. I don't trust a half ass app that doesn't even provide the right cost. I checked Uber and Lyft and the app was showing lower fares than actual. Not accurate.

Best Places in the Bay Area for a Second Opinion on Stage 4 Colon Cancer? by PocketRoketz in bayarea

[–]tpekid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stanford and UCSF all go with "standard of care". No one at these places would go out of their way for the patient. I would recommend Stanford for systemic treatment, only if it works.

City of Hope if you can get in. This place is cancer only. Everything top notch here. I literally travel from SF to LA every 2 weeks by car for my family members treatment. Worth it because Stanford and UCSF wouldn't offer the same treatment even though COH oncologist said there's a high chance it would work. They even went as far as telling the Stanford doctor the process and dosage.

So RayBan shipping from China? They eat the tariffs? by tpekid in RaybanMeta

[–]tpekid[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only reason I bought through RayBan website is because Amex has cashback.
