Vroom, Vroom!
Our annual Wheels & Tech Issue has arrived, and we’re taking a look at what’s new, what’s coming and what might just change the way you get around.
On the cover, meet the upcoming Slate electric pickup, an EV that takes a refreshingly simple, and surprisingly affordable, approach to going electric (think manual crank windows – really). Inside we look at California’s newly established MyFirstEV incentive program, the surprising federal decision that could force Polestar out of the U.S. new-car market, and some of the latest developments in technology, transportation and modern home living.
But there’s plenty more beyond the wheels and gadgets. We have important news about a major new investment in HIV services in California, entertainment that begins with Broadway Sacramento’s production of Alicia Keys’ “Hell’s Kitchen” coming to town, Chris Narloch’s latest movie picks and other local theatre happenings. Apparently, we’re all feeling a little nostalgic, so we included a discussion about a portable CD player, streaming and the joys of actually owning your music.
