The screenshot was made 2020

Nope, it is real

Just wow… So if you look closely at the picture, you can barely see the number ‘563’ on the train. If you have a look at list of locomotives and railbuses iof DB on Wikipedia, you can see that this train is a Siemens Mireo.

Now, let’s take the headline apart. Is it the first all-electric trai… no! Is it the first accumulator train? Also no, as you can see in the list above, the class 515 exists and the Stadler Flirt Akku has been used on a line since October 2023, Is it the first Siemens Mireo Plus B being used? You guess what, nope. As an example, SWEG is using some of them to bridge non-electrified parts of the track since April 2024.

So finally, what is special about the Gigatrain? (gosh, I actually really dislike that name) In February 2024, the subsidary ‘Smart Train Lease GmbH’ of Siemens Mobility has been announced. There you can also lease two Siemens Mireo Plus Bs. Tesla is their very first client. That’s it

Whoops, got longer as expected. In case I made small mistakes, feel free to point it out

To those downvoting this comment. Why? Arachnophobic people do exist (and for some, even a picture of a spider can make them feel deeply uncomfortable)

This “proof” is based on a bug in Casio calculators (tested it on the fx-991EX classwitz, got it there too)

A try to explain it is in this video by Matt Parker. Are exactly the same numbers

Me using runit, I agree

That's what a bot would say
