[Nuclear Fusion]

[jjrandorin]

Model 3 Refresh?!

 

[Baymax123]

Yes, actually, model 3 made it first then model Y. But Model Y gets delivered first, so public thought model y get that first.

Can we call it ‘laminated glass’ rather than double glazing?

Double glazing is something a sales rep would knock on your door in the 80’s trying to sell you for your house.

I like my donuts to have double glazing

Some of us treehugger types in the US have triple-glazing, and believe me, they were heavy as can be, when installing.

That is triple pane not triple glazing. These windows have no air gap in the middle. Just two panes of glass laminated together with some type of barrier/membrane in the middle. Exactly the same as your windshield has been for years.

Triple panes and triple glazing are not the same thing? Interesting. I've misunderstood that for 45 years, then.

As for the car's laminated glass windshield, I understand that; I was responding to Candleflame, who was talking about house windows in Europe.

According to St. Gobain, Tesla's Model 3 front windshield membrane is >PVB< laminated, which means it's their "acoustic" glass:

The recent updates seem to be about whether the side windows are laminated. Would be interesting if these could be retrofitted, presumably, with the appropriate adjustments to the regulators, etc.

No I meant double glazing as opposed to laminated, single pane, glass

I have no idea what you mean. There’s definitely something lost in translation here.

2x single panes of glass. Each laminated

2x single panes of glass. Each laminated

In order for the glass to be “laminated”, doesn’t it imply there’s a second pane that it’s laminated to?

Think of it as an Oreo cookie: glass (wafer) on the outside (the cookie part) and a laminating layer in between (the creme) that holds it all together. No air. No gaps. No Argon gas, etc. — just an Oreo cookie.

Did someone say glazing/glazed or double glazing/glazed? facepalm

 

[Gasaraki]

Never heard the term double-glazing for double-paned glass.

I thought this was some porn term or glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme

From the 2nd line in wikipedia:

"A window with insulating glass is commonly known as double glazing or a double-paned window, triple glazing or a triple-paned window, or quadruple glazing or a quadruple-paned window, depending upon how many panes of glass are used in its construction."
​

Glazing and paned are interchangeable words, when applied to glass windows.

Looks like it’s coming:
