Tesla to build 25,000-euro car at German plant
  • From what I've gathered, from personal experience and tests, the model Y from Germany and the model 3 from the Shanghai factories actually have comparable quality standards to the established European car makers. So, if they can keep the quality and deliver a model for 15k, which none of the other automakers are doing, I'm on board.

    Just look at VW. They only plan the ID2, which starts at 25k and only will arrive 2026...

  • Why do even hybrid cars have 2 batteries?(12v + high-voltage)
  • Well in a technical sense you are also right, since the contactor for the main battery gets power from the 12v (albeit it's not a big load) Meaning if the 12v is completely dead the hv battery will not switch on and the motor will not start.

  • Why do even hybrid cars have 2 batteries?(12v + high-voltage)
  • The main reason why you will alway have a low voltage battery is safety: It is used to actuate the contactors for the HV Battery. You would not want un-switchable HV components. For example in the event of a crash the HV battery gets completely disconnected but airbags and indicators will still work. The 12v battery will get charged off the main hv battery if it gets low btw.

  • What was your gateway product to open source?
  • Windows. More specially a netbook with vista, that ran so incredibly slow ot of the box that it pushed me to install linux. Technically i used Firefox before that, but that was when Firefox was the de facto standard in Germany, so i didn't care about FOSS.

  • Android phone with alternative to iPhone’s camera
  • https://youtu.be/LQdjmGimh04 Mkbhd's blind test is a good resource, though for the standard scene i actually preferred the sony camera, which is interesting, considering i have a quite similar sony phone. So I think what you are used to is also a big factor!

  • LED lights are meant to save energy. They’re creating glaring problems
  • This is not at all a LED problem. It is just very poor execution. When we switched to LED in our and neighboring cities the light pollution went down very noticably. The switch should be used to use light smarter, not just blast more with higher efficiency. We now have some streets that even have motion sensing and dim to 5% power when not in use.
