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.

Really? They're much better audio quality than bluetooth.

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.

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.
