    Nomad’s keychain USB-C cable now offers the fastest charging and 10Gbps data.

    We’ve recommended the company’s older ChargeKey before, which supported a decent 60W charging speed and much slower USB 2.0 data transfers. The new 240W version is available now and costs the same $25.

    Tesla bringing back turn signal stalks?

    Tesla leaker Chris Zheng claims the company will return the signal stalk to the Model 3, which went stalkless after its 2024 redesign. Tesla deleted the turn signal and drive stalks on its redesigned Model S and Model X vehicles as well, moving the controls to steering wheel buttons and the center touchscreen and relying on automation. But now it seems like the stalk is making a comeback. For example, the recent Model Y redesign included a simplified turn signal stalk.

    Volkswagen will reveal its €20,000 EV on March 5th.

    Along with the event launch date, VW Group CEO Thomas Schäfer posted a new sketch on LinkedIn showing a cute high-roofline crossover that probably won’t come to the US. The EV was referred to as the “ID. Every 1,” but that’s only the show car name.

    Last week’s dark teaser image revealed an “ID.One” nameplate after someone adjusted the image.
