How to install a smart lock on an existing deadbolt - and why this model is my top pick

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-08-18 21:00:18

ZDNET's key takeaways The Nuki smart lock is now available for $159 on its own, and $229 when combined with the Keypad 2. This smart lock fits into an existing deadbolt, supports Matter for easy integrations with smart home systems, and features hands-free unlocking. Though innovative, the Nuki smart lock requires a subscription for full remote access; it's also very loud when locking and unlocking, and the Keypad 2 is somewhat slow.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara U100 smart lock was originally priced at $230, but it is currently discounted to $143. This smart lock is the most versatile I've tested; it offers a variety of unlocking options, a user-friendly app, and easy integration with Apple Home. The Aqara U100 drains the battery quickly, and the app doesn't always alert users, resulting in reduced performance within four months of use. $165.46 at Amazon $179.99 at Best Buy more buying choices The Aqara U100 Smart Lock

Rivian receives the next $1B from Volkswagen as sales struggles continue

Rivian has hit a milestone in its agreement with German automotive giant Volkswagen that will bring $1 billion into the EV startup’s coffers in the form of a share sale. Rivian also announced Wednesday that it delivered 10,661 vehicles in the second quarter.

Tesla faces second straight year of falling sales after another bad quarter

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-19 01:14:13

Tesla delivered 384,122 vehicles in the second quarter of this year, wrapping up another weak quarter for the company as it struggles to bring the pace of sales back up to 2023 levels. That represents a 13.5% drop from the number of cars Tesla delivered in the second quarter of 2022, and it means Tesla runs a real chance of underperforming its total sales figure from 2024. If that happens, it would mean Tesla’s sales will have fallen two years in a row — despite the company once promoting the a

Ford saw a 31% drop in U.S. sales of electric vehicles in the second quarter of 2025, led by a collapse of E-Transit vans and declining popularity of the F-150 Lightning.

The Republican Party's opposition to tax credits for electric vehicles has stepped up a notch. As its members in the US Senate add their input to the budget bill that came from their colleagues in the House of Representatives, among the changes they want to see is a faster eradication of the IRS clean vehicle tax credit. The tax credit provides up to $7,500 off the price of an EV as long as certain conditions are met, and the language from the House would have given it until the end of the year.
