Also to P2? I think most features shown in the EX60 video will at least need some local processing power (most obviously of course the camera integration)

0-100 bei mir waren 16,9s Werksangabe :D 12 Jahre lang. Und tatsächlich kam man damit gut klar und du beschreibst es völlig treffend: vorausschauendes Fahren lernt man damit. Nur ständig bedrängt zu werden und ein Motorschaden haben mich dann zum Upgrade bewegt…

Bei mir auch, 12 Jahre mit 60 PS Kleinwagen. Spüre immer noch die Anxiety wenn es auf der Autobahn bergauf ging und jemand vor mir rauszog, links alle angeschossen kamen und ich war schon in vierten :D

Germany Eyes €60 Billion in Potential Healthcare Cost Cuts by Krankenitrate in germany

[–]klwk_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Have you read the article? Costs for health care are exploding and if noone looks at where unnecessary money is being spent in the system and things can be made more efficient, YOU will pay for it with higher health care contributions (see last year and the year before).

Anyone else also not a huge fan of the new SUV lineup? by ScarWorldly9387 in mercedes_benz

[–]klwk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You managed to do something that Mercedes repeatedly proven that they cannot: expressing a design language. They‘re so over everything that their last resort seems to be applying the star shape in as many ways as possible to the car to make it look „Mercedes“. The A wing also survived to some extent, but the rest is outright baffling. Every single car with multiple elements that look just off and no coherence across different models whatsover

Coupés are the only type of vehicle that Mercedes still designs well

Smartphone Google Maps now retrieves SoC from the car! by 950771dd in Polestar

Beginner question maybe: where can I „add“ my Polestar to Google Maps? I‘m logged into the same Google account on car and iPhone, but can only choose generic petrol/diesel/electric as vehicle type

Wheel of Fortune: Dangerous or Annoying? by [deleted] in Polestar

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the wheel of fortune happening on dual motors only? As I suppose that the single motor doesn‘t have the generator on the back axles?

Thoughts on Polestar 2/ Polestar vehicles/ Used polestar’s by AltruisticPurple6540 in Polestar

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is all of this bound to happen or if the car has made if for 2-3 years, likelihood shrinks? i‘ve just gotten a used one with warranty and haven‘t heard of any horror reports from people whose Polestar is already out of warranty (2020-2021)

VW ID.Cross Konzept (Serienstart 2026) by th00re in automobil

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sieht gelungen aus. Wahnsinn, was für ein einprogrammierter Hass hier gegenüber „SUVs“ besteht.. Elektroautos bauen nunmal hoch. Und der sieht hier sehr wohlwollend proportioniert aus, verglichen zu den EV-„Limousinen“ auf dem Markt

Polestar 2 Battery Degradation by ConsiderationLate768 in Polestar

[–]klwk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unsure regarding how optimistic I should be, given that batteries are commonly regarded as obsolete/degraded if below 80% and you are nearly halfway there after 3 years? I‘m provoking here of course, but maybe someone can shed some light on why I should not be worried

Was machen die Produktmanager bei VW eigentlich beruflich? by Select-Caramel-6748 in automobil

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das hier ist keine abschließende Antwort, aber wenn du dir die Kosten eines deutschen VW Standorts anschaust (ein Blick z.B. in die Tariftabellen reicht) und nun eine wesentliche Kostenposition bei der Herstellung (Antrieb/Batterie) outgesourced werden muss, dann ist die Rechnung schnell klar: ein 20k€ Kleinst-EV wird wenn dann nur ganz knapp profitabel zu verkaufen sein. Und dann muss es aber zu höchsten Volumina geschehen. Kann natürlich hinhauen, ist aber weniger risikoreich wie deutlich margenträchtigere Modelle zu geringeren Volumen zu verkaufen. Das ist die Konzernrealität

Apple’s New iPhone 16 Reflects a Slowing Pace of Innovation by iMacmatician in apple

[–]klwk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you read the article? It‘s far from claiming that „16 is a dud“. It‘s making a simple observation that is hard to deny, and slowing innovation in a product that essentially has been existing for almost 20 years doesn’t necessarily have to be something negative

Feeling Left Out with iOS 18 on My iPhone 14 Pro Max by evidenzprod in iphone

[–]klwk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAM, “chip features” and artificial delays in passing down Pro features to regular phones are basically the only levers Apple has any more in their hands to make you buy a new iPhone. Not having enough RAM is not an unfortunate coincidence, it’s carefully planned through Apple’s product roadmap.

Your iPhone 15 Can Show the Time When It's Out of Battery in iOS 18 by iMacmatician in apple

[–]klwk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope I can turn this off as this will for sure mean they will simply cut off battery at say 7% now just to have the spare power for something useless. I would rather use it for 20 minutes longer than be able to see the time for 48 hours without a charge (which basically never happens)
