VW is on the steep end of the learning curve with user facing software but has developed a solid platform to build out an array of EVs and early reports show that they have done a good job.

The I.D.3 was held up for launch to buy time to smooth out the software for the cabin. The I.D. 4 crossover will shortly be hitting the streets here in the US with other models to shortly follow.

Do not forget that VW also owns Porsche and Audi who are both well on their way with EVs. I am sure that lessons learned at each part of VW will be shared with the other parts. No company has spent more on EV development in recent years that VW AG. I used to own ADRs for VW until it was withdrawn from the US markets and have followed them as a shareholder for many years.

Finally, I would remind all that VW owns Electrify America which has built out a nationwide charging network and has built a similar network in Europe. Those stations will have charging capability for VW/Audi and Porsche quite comparable to the Supercharger network that Tesla has built.

Justin Timberlake is a southern boy- Tennessee. The Memphis metro area to be a little more precise. So he has a pretty good grip on southern culture.

I live in the Memphis metro and remember seeing him out and about years ago- Memphis tends to be one of those places where being famous and still being able to get out and about is not unheard of.  Considering about half of the people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have a work or life connection to the city, the locals tend to be a little more chilled out when someone famous pops up.

I remember seeing him and Brittney Spears years ago literally hanging out in a record store just having a good time and people were cool enough to not bother them. By all accounts he is a pretty nice guy.

I am interested in seeing what 5G support will be available. Otherwise I will wait this cycle out.

Not liking any of these.

What I am looking for should be really simple:
1- Wireless BT keyboard with the ability to plug in via some form of USB to use as a wired keyboard. Every once in a while you need to be able to plug in a keyboard- not having that capability is just cheaping out.
2- User replaceable battery- I have Eneloops (Panasonic/ Sanyo previously) like Apple used to sell under their own name that I can easily recharge and replace when they get old.
3- Backlighting with a proximity sensor.

Funny how a $30 keyboard gets a cheap BT module and a battery and jumps to $100. I do not mind paying, but the prices of keyboards is kind of ridiculous. Especially considering that these are made in low wage factories.
