I got the car in a car auction in France. During exposition, I asked the technicien to tell me what is the % of battery left and health status. He got inside and told me 100%. I didn't ask to check myself and now I regret because after bidding and winning the bid, I thought it's a bit weird that a 12 year car has 100% battery.

The starting price was 2800 euros and I got it for 3400 euros. If the battery got replaced new, i doubt the start price would be 2800.

I will get it in a couple of days, but wanted to ask experienced people here what is the worst and best case scenario I can expect about the battery health ?

FYI in miles it's about 35,000 miles.

Thanks

I've build a pretty large project over two years, which i'm close to release and i'm wondering if I should open source it.

My thoughts are these:

- If I do open source it, it will be one of the biggest players in that category (I have extensively compared the existing open source solutions for my category)

- I have inspired from an existing popular closed source popular app, and my project is very similar to theirs. That is why I am leaning on the "open source alternative" of that app.

Nevertheless, I worry that:

- People will fork my code and make their own SaaS's with it (even though I intend to put it on the AGPL license, which from what I understand, obliges them to open source it)

- People would prefer forking it and using for free instead of using my cloud - I would lose paying customers if I were closed source.

The idea is to make it "open core" (the primary product open source, with closed source cloud features, dashboard etc) - i've already architectured the services like that.

I'm having a hard time to decide - my assumption is I am a solo founder with no marketing budget or big reach, and that it would help me get my product out there and build a community, rather than going closed source.

Would love to hear some thoughts and recommandations from people that have gone through this and tested it :)

Thanks !
