wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-08-19 19:47:24

For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised that his EV company would finally manufacture an affordable car in the $25,000 range. For years, he has missed his own deadlines … until now? Step into a showroom run by EV Auto, an electric car dealership with three locations in the US states of Utah and Colorado, and you can choose from several Model 3s all hovering around the $20,000 mark. The catch? These cars have at least several thousand miles on them—because they’re used. Some global EV maker

As a teenager growing up in Seattle, Carter Sherman was “pathologically obsessed” with the fact that she was still a virgin. In her new book The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, which chronicles Gen Z’s sex lives (or lack thereof), Sherman describes having a meltdown after one of her best friends has sex with their classmate, making her feel left behind. “I fully broke down crying in front of my mom,” she tells me when I bring up the incident.

Apple has now fully paid $16.5B to Ireland in back taxes, closing the matter

For a star, its initial mass is everything. It determines how quickly it burns through its hydrogen and how it will evolve once it starts fusing heavier elements. It's so well understood that scientists have devised a "main sequence" that acts a bit like a periodic table for stars, correlating their mass and age with their properties.
