At a glance these look ontario-specific, am I off-base? Never heard of TVO before.
Not US-based, but at least close, these Canadian sites I found quite useful

Keep in mind, a CAD $ ≈ 75¢US so price range will look off. Most of the models available will be available in both markets but they'll be slightly different trims and slightly different MSRP after currency conversion.
3.5mm is an audio source, USB is a data source. Any headphone with a USB plug also has to convert digital to audio, something your phone already does. USB is not a replacement by any means.
It very much depends on the pair of headphones and on the hardware of the phone.
My LG phone is a beast. Sure, it's not quite the same audio power as a headphone amp would give, but the audio quality and convenience is fantastic.
It still degrades audio quality and that's an area I refuse to compromise on.
The smartphone is not the expensive part of my mobile audio playback setup, I expect it to be compatible with the standard playback interface of wires.
My headphones (wired) cost more than a smartphone and I expect my handheld device to be compatible with them. I'll rule out buying models based on this feature.
It's not until literally the eighth paragraph of this article that the phrase "in the US" shows up. US EV sales numbers pale in comparison to global EV sales.
This headline is so bogus.
No, the need is still present. Headphone jacks are pretty essential still, wireless tech is not a replacement.
It's a line item in my monthly budget. I run some future simulations to ensure that number is set high enough to at least be in the ballpark to achieve my future goals.
I treat the monthly number less like a goal and more like a required expense to attain what I am hoping to attain.
less bulbous front end
Literally the second worst thing about the model 3 was that bulbous nose. Good to see it's changing.
...for one particular battery design from one particular brand.
Wait, how is this a hot take? We as taxpayers subsidize gas heavily. We know how bad internal combustion engines are for the environment. Our climate is causing catastrophic disasters at an increased scale and frequency. I think it's about time we begin to stop subsidising the oil & gas industry.
8,000 is the average annual total count, usually spread across ~3months (July, Aug, Sept). The 1,100 number quoted is currently burning today. As of August 17 the count (active and extinguished) so far this year was up to 5,765.
The size of fires is really the staggering figure with 13.75 million hectares (137,500 km² roughly the size of Arkansas or Greece) burned so far, while the average annual total burned area is usually only 2.1 million hectares.
~$240,000/yr household pre-tax income to qualify for a $900,000 30yr mortgage at 5.09% with a few assumptions.
Keep in mind that a $300k down payment is quite small for someone looking at a $1.2MM home ($240k is the absolute minimum). Most have a much larger chunk of equity from their prior condo before looking at a "benchmark" sized listing.
The Honda E isn't built on the Ultium platform.
But there's very low likelihood that a battery will need replacing within the first 20 years.
1-5% of total range capacity per year on average
That's nowhere near how little degredation is actually seen in the data you yourself provided.
And you're cherry-picking the worst car in the study to highlight (Tesla Model S).
That doesn't seem relevant to my ask of clarity on the second point that doesn't involve accidents.
8-10yrs? Why on earth would a functioning 500km range EV that's 10yrs old be labelled as scrap-worthy?
