The Tesla Model 3 Standard came out of nowhere, and it mostly flew under the radar at first, considering that everyone's attention was pinned on the Model Y Standard. But now that the dust has settled, the cheapest new Tesla EV is making headlinesand not because of its lack of creature comforts. Starting from $38,630, the most affordable Tesla out there has an EPA-rated driving range of 321 miles on a full charge, which is anything but bad. Here's the thing, though: it just beat that estimate in Edmunds' independent range test, where it drove nearly 6% over the official estimate.

When you walk into Five Below, you expect things to be below $5. It's right there in the name. Still, that's not entirely true anymore. I stopped by Five Below, a discount chain with hundreds of stores across the US, for some late-in-the-game presents earlier this month, since I had very good luck visiting in 2023 with a budget of $50.

If that sounds like luscious interplay (as we had hoped), don't be deceived. Quoth our taste-tester, "the hot chocolate was watery rather than rich and milky, and it left an odd, almost alcoholic aftertaste that may have been the result of artificial syrup." As for that caramel drizzle, it "might as well have been forgotten since we couldn't detect any caramel notes in the drink at all."

It looks like the holidays aren't a bad time to shop for a VPN subscription. ExpressVPN, Engadget's pick for the best premium provider, currently has a less premium price. This deal gives you two years of the Advanced plan (with a bonus of four free months) for only $101. When it isn't on sale, the same subscription would cost $392.

Game-Key Cards have been divisive since they were first introduced, but the good news is that the full R-Type Dimensions 3 game will be on the Switch 2 cartridge. The bad news? You're going to have to pay a little bit extra for that side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, as the price is going up to €70. It's worth noting that those who already preordered the physical Special Edition will not see their price change.

An intriguing new rumor today confirms that there will be an iPhone Air 2 (even though it may only arrive in spring 2027), and it will add a second camera. This was first rumored last month, and it's nice to get a 'confirmation' of sorts (as much as any rumor can count as that). While today's report doesn't mention what the second camera will be, the rumor from November did - an ultrawide.

There was something magical about picking it out, throwing it over your shoulder, and bringing it up to your apartment, despite the pine needles that dropped in the elevator. Still, as an immigrant from the UK, where people literally drag them home or transport them in the back of their vehicle, I still get a kick from seeing cars on the road with a tree strapped to the roof.

As well-known as New York might be for its hot dogs, there is one other city in America that may rival it: Chicago. Chicago is famous for its hot dogs, and the people there take them extremely seriously. Don't ever let anyone in Chicago catch you putting ketchup on a hot dog. While there is surely some disagreement among locals about who makes the best dog,

A condo in Palo Alto that sold for $1.4 million tops the list of the most affordable real estate sales in Palo Alto in the past week. For comparison, the overall average price of real estate in the area during that time was $4.1 million. The average price per square foot ended up at $1,886. A total of 16 home sales were recorded for the period with an average square footage of 2,164 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom.

The 2026 Subaru Trailseekernot officially an electric Outback, but that's what it is effectivelywill have an estimated 280 miles of range when it goes on sale early next year, the company announced on Thursday. When the Trailseeker first broke cover earlier this year as Subie's second-ever electric vehicle, the company touted a less impressive range of "more than 260 miles." It may only by 20 extra miles, but psychologically at least, I think 280 miles sounds a lot more appealing

Cash is king when it comes to building out a runway for you to transition from a full-time, regularly-paid employee to a consultant with money coming in sporadically. Make sure you take the time (without spending too much money) to build up the systems you no longer have now that you're self-employed. Research what your rate should be when you start charging clients, and then learn to state your price without apologizing or feeling guilty.

However, that level of complexity often slows you down. Companies frequently start looking elsewhere when they need more agility or realize the structured, enterprise-first approach feels too heavy for their actual culture. It ofter comes down to needing a tool that reduces the admin burden, launches courses instantly, and offers pricing that scales with your growth. We analyzed the market to find the best alternatives for 2026.

Engineer Tibor Blaho recently found references to upcoming ad functionality in the ChatGPT Android app. Code strings mention search ads, a search ad carousel, and an ad API. Though ad mentions were found in the Android app, it's likely a change that's coming to ChatGPT on all platforms, including iOS, Mac, and the desktop. Given the "search" wording, it's possible ads will be limited to web searches and shopping research requests.

The holiday tray comes with 60 cookies for $24.99, a price that hasn't increased since last year. There are five flavors in the pack, each accounting for 12 cookies. You'll find Chocolate Chunk, Butter Pecan, Coconut Almond Chocolate, Red Velvet, and Toffee Sandie.

The second generation of Nintendo's beloved hybrid console arrived earlier this year. The Switch 2 has incredible screen quality, backwards compatibility with older Switch games and peripherals, and refined Joy-Con 2 grips (the real necessity of an updated Switch). It's sure to be on many people's Christmas lists, including my own. Sadly the device itself isn't on sale, but there are some bundles and accessories you can shop instead. Whether you're shopping for yourself or your favorite gamer, here's the best deals to grab.

The phone's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and massive 7,000mAh battery certainly impressed us in our review. And the 6.79" OLED display is a sharp, high-quality 1440p+ 144Hz panel with Dolby Vision. But it's not an LTPO panel. Also, the USB-C port is only USB 2.0. Video stabilization could have been better. The same goes for the ultra-wide and selfie cameras.

Over 110,000 Cayenne EV configs in 4 days and 10,500 users registered real purchase interest. The wide range of customization options means the likelihood of seeing two identical Cayenne EVs is slim. It has a starting price of $110,350 in base trim, but the 1,000+hp Turbo starts at $165,350. Are potential buyers interested in the new electric Cayenne? Porsche seems to think so, pointing to the 110,000 completed configurations on its U.S. website in the first four days after the new EV was unveiled.

You can pick up the base 12/256GB unit for $700 and the upgrade to 16/512GB is $100 more. Even though it is a previous gen chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is still one of the fastest around and the 6.82" 1440p+ LTPO OLED is great. The phone is equipped with three 50MP cameras on the back, including a main with a 1/1.43" sensor and a 3x/73mm periscope. This part is arguably better than the OnePlus 15.

According to a Fubon Research analyst, who bases the estimate on supply chain data and Apple's margin requirements, the iPhone Fold is expected to cost around $2,399. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 starts at $1,999, so it's not surprising that Apple's foldable iPhone will be priced higher. Fubon Research believes the iPhone Fold's material costs for the display panel, hinge, and lightweight components are the reason behind the higher price tag.

"I said I was all in, and I am delivering on that promise," he wrote. "The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn't feel right. I don't think the game is good yet. My team and I will push hard to make it good, then great. The vision is clear and progress is fast."

A cheaper version of the Lucid Gravity electric SUV is finally available in the United States. The Gravity Touring starts from $79,900, which is $15,000 less than the Gravity Grand Touring that went on sale first. That's great news for everyone who is looking for a spacious and comfortable electric family SUV, but can't afford to spend $100,000 on a new car.

vivo will launch the X300 and X300 Pro in India on December 2. The brand hasn't revealed the lineup's prices yet, but if the latest rumor is to be believed, the vivo X300 Pro, which is said to come in a single 16GB/512GB configuration in India, will be priced at INR109,999 ($1,240/€1,075). The vivo X300, on the other hand, will have three memory options - 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, and 16GB/512GB, priced at INR75,999 ($855/€745), INR81,999 ($925/€800), and INR85,999 ($970/€840), respectively.

Also: What to expect from Apple's 'cheap' MacBook in 2026 (and how it'll compete with Chromebooks) At no point can the Apple machine stop producing, however, so with the MacBook Air M4, it was apparent it would be an incremental upgrade, refining what made last year's version great while offering a little bit more for less cost to the consumer.

After the launch, the big question left unanswered about the first product out of Rivian's micromobility spinoff was how much the future base model would cost. The Launch edition is available to preorder now for $4,500. Also President Chris Yu told me the entry model would be "under $4,000," which I took to mean $3,999. Nope! Also's website was updated on Friday to show that the entry-level TM-B costs $3,500. It goes on sale in late 2026.
