Yep.. did not get to choose which car I got, and was quite disappointed with it. The car itself is okay, the driving is good. But the battery and its management was horrible. They even sent a recall recently because the battery was draining abnormally fast when not using the car

In their defense, my German EV lost a good 40% range on the winter

Was gonna say the same. I've had this discussion before... "Dude 144hz is a scam it's the same as 60 for me" my brother in Christ, did you enable it in windows?!

I drove an ID.3 for a year and was quite let down. Range estimation is always 25-30% over the real range, especially worse in winter. All controls were touch controls. Is this the same for the ID4?

Okay chief. What do I use to play YouTube videos, local tv news, Netflix or pirated movies on my tv then ? I have to have a laptop or a computer on the side to play the content? That computer has to be able to playback 4k HDR. It also has to use edge to get 1080p out of Netflix (scratch that I have a 4k subscription). It has to consume less or the same then my TV.

I'm curious about what real alternative you got, that is as useful and user friendly as using the android tv directly ?

Your first paragraph is wrong imo. A minority of users are using 3.5mm jack, including a port on the phone for all users results in more waste than having that minority buy an adapter that can be re used on any phone in the future.

Also please don't argue that jack users aren't a minority now. Most users don't care about having the port on their phone, and most are happy with wireless.

They could even have a second USB C port and have display output on that plus a full size hdmi instead of the two shitty micro HDMI ports

Probably months in advance, but before that it was difficult to predict when it was gonna happen. Russia warring into the west has been predicted by NATO military for a good while (a few years at least), they have also been preparing since then.
