    Audi’s midsize sedan goes electric: The 2025 A6 and S6 Sportback, driven

    while I agree that that segment is relatively sparse compared to suvs and larger segment sedans, we do have the BMW i4 (apparently selling quite well) and Tesla Model 3. Indeed The Kia and Hyundais (EV9s and Ioniqs) could be considered comparable.

    All the ways Apple TV boxes do—and mostly don’t—track you

    I use the Apple TV app to watch HBO shows all the time--at least to manage and cue. They all show in my Up Next and included in recommendations...

    GM’s new EV battery will offer 30 percent more range for less money

    Strangely enough, I think that level of CarPlay/AAuto integration (state of charge/routing) is quite rare. As far as I know it's just the Taycan and the Mustang Mach E that can do that.

    Apple silent as Trump promises “impossible” US-made iPhones

    Yes on $$ his own money. No on plans to remove DEI being stopped by shareholders. Apple actually recommended that shareholders vote down the proposal to stop DEI efforts.

    2025 Audi RS e-tron GT: More range, more power, still drives like an Audi

    I always liked that. Though “incomprehensibilities” actually does beat it by 1!

    Fraudsters faked out Apple with bogus iPhones in $2.5M repair scam

    I bought a pair of "AirPods Pro" off of Ebay that not only paired to my phone and showed up with warranty left, but also indicated having apple care. Sounded like shit though--even the initial chimes and bongs when you switch between noise canceling and transparency. And the overall sound was...

    The Audi RS7 review—the last ride of a dinosaur

    I believe they still sell an A4 and A6 Allroad--granted those still start in the 50K and 70K range, respectively.

    Hyundai Ioniq 5s will be made in USA with native Tesla-style ports

    I think it may depend on car manufacturer. While I’ve certainly heard of wireless flakiness, for me I’ve only had occasional (maybe 5-10 over 2 years) glitches in Audis, and maybe 1 glitch (using beta software on my iPhone, so could be beta issues) on a Taycan.

    Finally, BMW’s M5 station wagon is coming to the US—and it’s a hybrid

    Which CT do you have? I have a 4 CT and it weighs right under 5100 lbs. So still heavy (and not nearly as quick), but a good 400+ lbs lighter. I didn't think any of the Taycans weighed significantly more, but I could be wrong.

    Apple expands Racial Equity and Justice Initiative with new programs

    The USA Today article was from 2013--so probably 2012 taxes paid.. Apple was quite a different company then. So I'd say that both posters are "accurate", though only only one is "right"

    The 15 best films of a bizarre (and probably historic) year for film

    It's on iTunes for $20 4K, I think since last Tuesday
