Volkswagen gives the 2025 Taos a fresh look and updated tech. We share our first impressions of its performance, redesigned interior, and revamped infotainment system—and whether this update is enough to keep the Taos competitive. We also answer audience questions, including: When is it okay to buy a first model year redesign vehicle? Why are EV charging networks—aside from Tesla’s Supercharger—so frustrating to use? And should buyers be concerned about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 due to issues with its Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU)?

What to know about online search results. Learn more about how to avoid a search result scams at: https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2025/04/online-search-results-good-bad-and-scammy Transcript: When you search online, the top results you get are often paid for. You might see a label like “sponsored” or “ad.” They could be from a real company you might want to do business with. But sometimes, scammers pay to place paid ads, too. If you click, you might wind up losing money or your information. To make sure you don’t reach out to a scammer: Never assume the website or phone number in a paid search result is legit. And always doublecheck you’ve got the real contact info for the business or government agency you want to reach. Tell the FTC about scams at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. ********************************* The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American.

Scammers create fake profiles on social media. They claim they’re military servicemembers to get your trust, but what they want is your money. But if that love interest says they can’t meet you in person, asks you for money, or you find their picture in several profiles – you know it’s a scammer. Don’t send money. Instead, cut off contact. Tell the social media platform, dating website, or app right away.
