Pretty sure you're right.

Actually, you are exactly right. It says it in the article I posted above. I get a "D" in reading comprehension. lol

Despite the Porsche’s performance advantage, the drivetrain is mostly the same between the e-tron and Taycan. Both share the same 800V architecture, which allows them to recharge at the industry-benchmark 270 kW using a DC fast-charger.

Also, from TiMSport's article:

Quote:
But, while Audi are keen to tell us how unique the design is and how taught the chassis feels, there’s no escaping the fact that they’re second to Germany’s EV super sedan party. In fact, not only was the Porsche Taycan first to the punch bowl, peel away the layers, and it serves as the very basis for the e-tron GT.

We are all adults here, well most of us. Is this better, the same or not as good as a man?

The home made bread I just got from my chiropractor's receptionist is so soft that it keeps tearing when I try to spread the butter.

I’m starting a new job in two weeks and none of my cars are suitable to daily drive in this job, so I need to get another one. With nowhere to park it.

Oh, and the company will basically pay for it all. (Car allowance, all basic repairs and expenses, fuel, and insurance)

That's too bad... I have sex almost every day. I almost had sex on Saturday. I almost had sex on Sunday. And the jury is still out, but my guess is I will almost have sex today.

Ordered an iPad Mini on Friday because Wifey commandeered my iPad Pro last week. Was suppose to be delivered today, but in typical Fedex fashion, it got as far as Memphis and then has stagnated there in the tracking. I'll have to make do with my iMac, MBP M1, and iPhone in the meantime. I even have a new case for the iPad Mini, although there is nothing to put in the case. I really hate Fedex.

Uhhhh isn't it the other way around? I have both as well, Oakleys are plastic lenses but my Maui Jim's are glass lenses and I've never looked through a clearer pair of sunglasses.

Ouch. I remember a similar case where a women in our office mistakenly used her university credit card to buy liquor for herself because her personal card and the university card were from the same bank. The two cards were virtually identical. That was a mess to clean up.

I'm much prefer the style of the Oakleys. They were suitable for general all-round use where I consider my Maui Jims more formal, if that makes sense.
