Right but the model 3 is a sedan while the ID.4 is a compact SUV. Size wise this vehicle is more on par with the Tesla Model Y, not the 3.

This looks like the first vehicle of this sort to even approach affordable (with the $7,500 tax credit it will cost less than a high end Honda CR-V). The fact that it is also well regarded in the reviews I have seen make this the first elec

The Volkswagon ID.4 will be, after the $7,500 credit, in the low 30's. Still not cheap but much better than any other similarly spec'ed vehicle.

Just be aware that both of those UI libraries only save time if you go with the out of the box experience. If you need to theme them there will be a bit of a learning curve and if you really need to customize then that learning curve goes u

This highlights what I feel is the real issue with such medications... over prescription. You, clearly, need(ed) it and it was a literal life saver. I was also put on some of these medications and while they evened me out that meant they ki

Base model ID.4 SUV for approximately $33,000 (price taking US government tax break into account. $39,995-$7,500) is getting very close to that. A mid-20's priced EV would be amazing but low 30's is starting to get within range of

From what I have seen VW had a sort of genuine reckoning with the whole diesel issue. They have reinvented themselves, shed cruft, cut all fuel vehicle development and completely devoted themselves to an electric future (vehicles, batteries

Grew up Protestant and rejected it because of the hypocrisy I saw around me. I saw "good church going people" who I knew were not good people and I saw how they were able to use the authority of their positions to exert influence.

5 months is crazy generous in the news industry. Everyone I know in journalism over the years has generally gotten 0 days to prepare and 0 dollars to cushion any blow.

I'd bet money that a sufficiently large swarm of wombats, placed in a geometrically constrained environment, could indeed implement a logic gate.

That's it? I mean, it IS annoying but that's utterly painless compared to any number of other financial interactions you may be faced with online. Take almost any medical related billing issue, for example.

Once Evs like the ones Volkswagen is producing hit the US market things will change. The ID.4, for instance, will bring a compact SUV form (that is highly regarded) for barely over $30,000 (less than a tricked out Honda CR-V). That will be

When I was young and bumming around Europe on an Inter-rail pass I took night trains all the time in order to avoid hotels. I would just find an empty cabin, lie down on the floor with my feet against the door and use my backpack for a pill

You can throw in debugging statements (`debugger;`) when some hook doesn't seem to be hitting a breakpoint. Stops things just fine.

Better safety features, for one. Chinese cars, especially cost-effective ones, cut corners that would make them unsaleable in countries with higher, enforced, safety standards.

Other birds do as well. They all pay attention to each other. I have a very active set of bird feeders in a rural area (so many species of birds and other animals use them at the same time). I am within sight to it for much of the day and i

Sports are a big part of why some people hesitate to cut the cable cord. ESPN+ comes up quite short on some big time sports events and is kind of the 3rd string bench warmer of the sports streaming services because of this. It is almost poi

So... maybe it's time someone build (or fund others to build) a free, online, tax prep service. Something that handles all but the really challenging cases. Do it just to screw the people behind this sort of idiocy.
