Can we first just give him kudos for the Germanest sounding name ever?

Can we give kudos to @jon-nyc for the most creative new adjective?

The picture says km, not miles.

Still, a long drive.

I believe the word is germane.

Thats a bit over 620,000 miles.

[George K]

A bit...

1,899,015 km = 1,180,000 miles

Miles = Kilometers / 1.6093445
Miles = 1899015 / 1.6093445
Miles = 1179992.8480198

[Copper]

7 decimal places is just showing off.

My mistake. I just did 1M.

Is anyone else confused about driving telsas for 2 decades when they've only been out since 2008?

[George K]

@89th the million-mile car is a 2014 model,

"German resident Hansjörg von Gemmingen-Hornberg has owned Teslas for nearly two decades now..."

"Nearly". 2004 is within 20 days of being 2 decades ago.

The roadster came out in 2008 - so 16 years ago, or so.

[89th]

2004? You mean 2014...

So yes, 2008 is 15 years ago. Quite the round-up to say nearly two decades, something you can say for the next 5 years!
