Kenkarv of course. Therefore... what is the shown part ? Since this looks to me a real product which is really designed for use....

I requested from our marketing and sales department the yearly sales figures of the Mazda 3 according the automotive IHS database. I will share it when I received it.

In the meantime, how can we find out the purpose of the showed part ?

Like pp1 said... research research research ;-)

Mazda 3 sales in US:

For global I think 800000 pieces would be a good estimate.

Would be good if someone recognizes the part. Since then we know if it is specific Mazda 3 or for a wider range of cars. Moreover, some parts are 2X or 4x present (like lights and tires/brakes)

In Europe it is Mazda 3:

Sorry Tony, I missed your post. At least we agree :-)

I think it is a scc which is glued with milkwhite paste/glue:

I think Mazda Kai is right:

Somehow the link is not directing to the post of Avx. I’m referring to a picture of the front of a red car and lower right corner part with something blue...

This was just posted on facebook by AVX:

This looks to me like a supercapacitor (Lower right corner in picture). Can someone confirm this ?

If so, what is this and for which brand/model ? ;-)

James, please share your source...or is it belly feeling (which is ok since I think it will be 2019)

Recenttly introduced new supercap:

And this really strikes me:

But of course only clues and jam tomorrow...;-)

Here we go... I just found them and in the e-peas link I shared a link to their evaluation module...

Here the link to their website where supercaps are several times mentioned (and based on the evaluation board, most likely cap-xx)

Next nice link to cap-xx (picture included)

Kite fly...I think... but showing that supercaps are getting traction in iot...

Interesting, they mention supercapacitors in the specs:

Another nice e-peas article :

Nitram, you are right. I think today internet and social media Made certain information accessible on the same time. And I think on a discussion board like this, there is a lot of brains and manpower available to be even faster than the big institutional inventors.

Monkeywizard, thanks for sharing since I was not able to join the webcast.

This is exactly why I will not vote in favor of a Tesla buyout. This goes far beyond automotive...
