  5. Samsung Ultra Watch

    AFAIK the only android watch with UWB support is the latest Google pixel watch. You'd need that for unlock support. For normal wearos support (widgets etc), it's not super hard to add to an android app nowadays...
  6. Honda and Nissan close in on an EV merger to survive the industry’s rapid shift to electric

    FWIW, a family member has a hybrid RAV4 and is happy with it... It's one of the few PHEV that are as reliable as an ICE car. Saves gas money 90% of the time. The integration is pretty smooth when I rode in it FWIW...didn't feel sluggish as a passenger and the driver had no complaints. PHEVs...
  7. 2025 R1S Gen 2 is the only large SUV to earn IIHS Top Safety Pick+ (R1T as well)

    I didn't know there are center console air bags now... There's an airbag on the driver's right side. The genesis wraps you in bubbles in an accident ?
  8. Honda and Nissan close in on an EV merger to survive the industry’s rapid shift to electric

    An EREV uses more battery material than a regular hybrid...so the weight/size comments would still apply. I'm sure they thought of it... I'd still say a hybrid (if as reliable as a regular ICE car) that can handle a 60 mile commute (max typical for most people) would be the most optimal usage...
  9. Rear dampener needs replaced, just past warranty

    I think the general average for an air suspension is five years but $4k ?
  10. Honda and Nissan close in on an EV merger to survive the industry’s rapid shift to electric

    They were thrown off guard by Bidens sudden push towards EVs according to someone in know there. The plan was to do hybrids for a while to conserve battery minerals while working on proper solid state batteries that are lighter. The ones now are too heavy and slow. Their planning timelines...

  14. Article: Charging The Electric Rivian R1S Was More Expensive Than Filling Up Some Notorious Gas Guzzlers

    FWIW, I think he's just showing what costs can be. Not everyone has cheap home electricity either...e.g. Boston area is 40c/kWH. Looked like a fair calculation on costsncompared to gas mileage... And did mention some chargers are more expensive.
  15. Cybertruck apparently can't make headlights that handle snow either

  16. App won't run on Android <12?

    The Bluetooth support on newer android phones is a lot better so it'll be more reliable. Upgrading to something that has a snapdragon gen 2+ (S23 or better in Samsung land) will also get you much better battery life. Google also forces developers to drop an older OS version every year so I...

  18. Good CNBC video on EV competition on China and SDV

    About halfway in, there's a small segment about software defined vehicles and VW. The historical perspective is interesting...subsidies aren't as high now, but the big push was 10 years ago when their government made the decision to leapfrog ICE vehicles from a pollution and innovation...
  19. More on VW plans for Rivian EV architecture: to be used on Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen & Scout

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/other/rivian-will-power-volkswagen-s-electric-golf-project-trinity/ar-AA1uW3dc I'm less worried about Rivian not surviving now.
