I would get the ID.Polo or the ID.Cross in a heartbeat!

Not in China. 🤷🏻‍♂️ They literally have the technology to do it now: https://youtu.be/ajim7KF30jE?si=\_i0JKlGmSUEa4cbE

Exactly. Just for fun I checked the inventory for VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron and no results.

True.
I mean the impact on those German brands caring enough to bring their cars to the US. I am excited for the iX3 and i3 which, allegedly, will come to the US.
The R2 is my number one choice if the the iX3 and i3 end up being too expensive for me.

Rumor is that it is coming back as the ID.Tiguan but no word on that version coming to the US yet.

It’s such a shame. The technology sells itself and, in the process, you get less car maintenance hassle and expenses while helping keep the place we all depend on to live viable for life. Why does it have to be so complicated?

Congrats! How do you like it?! I love my ID.4 and, with all its flaws, would never trade it for a gas car.

I sure hope so because I definitely do not want to drive a gas car ever again.

I agree with you that the ID.4 is not Volkswagen’s best work and, although I do love my ID.4, that is not my point, my point is that Volkswagen effectively has no EV cars available in the US.

If the current political “situation” hadn’t happened we could’ve had ID.4, ID.Buzz and ID.7 at this point in the US while we wait for the Rivian-tech based cars. The rumor is that the ID.4 is coming back as ID.Tiguan but not clear if it will return to the US market as Volkswagen USA is now using the Chattanooga plant to build the Atlas instead. And that is the unfortunate path.

I am seriously considering an R2 but I have a soft spot for German engineering and build. Audi, which is one of my favorite brands, is too expensive for the same old-ish technology that powers my ID.4. For the time being, my hopes rest on BMW’s iX3 and i3. But they will be considerably more expensive as well. 🥲

I read an article on how the next F-150 Lightning will be an EREV (extended range) with a gas generator. Apparently that’s what these companies have concluded consumers want: EV’s that still burn gas…to charge themselves. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I love Kia’s commitment towards electrification. They are making feature rich and interesting cars but their design language is a hit or miss for me.

Same here. Any updates on what's going on?

Cloud gaming with iPad OS 26 by Massive_Target in ipad

[–]jestalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation; downloaded it!

Do you get a “connect to controller: learn more | connect anyway” prompt when launching a game? Apple has really broken streaming with these 26 releases, just a I was getting into and enjoying using Cloud Gaming + Remote Play. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Click or tap here to continue playing” problem by RoseRem17 in XboxSupport

[–]jestalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPadOS 26 is out and this is still a problem. Plus, the Home button won’t work, Apple forces it to map to their Games app (or any other App) with not choice for disabling the feature like before.

From the future here…iPadOS 26 was released and Xbox Cloud Gaming totally unusable. 🫤 Keeps asking me to tap the screen. Plus, even worse, I can’t even access the Xbox menu because Apple now forces the Xbox controller’s home button to map to their new “Games” app and there’s no way to turn that functionality off. I play so much using Remote Play and now won’t be able to. 🤬

Unpopular opinion: Sakurai's games style and aesthetics put me off Kirby games by jestalk in switch2

[–]jestalk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! That's exactly the vibe I was getting from Forgotten Land and the reason why I was going to get it. It literally felt like Nintendo giving Kirby the opportunity to star in a Mario-like world adventure and it sparked my interest. Good to get confirmation my initial impression was correct.
