2021 Tesla Model 3 Packs More Range, Interior and Exterior Improvements
Even though the Tesla Model 3 has only been with us for a few model years, it is still a work in progress on the quality control front. But for 2021, the smallest and least expensive Tesla you can buy is getting a host of updates. Tesla quietly updated their consumer site with some of the improvements listed here, but the interior changes were sent to us by someone who works at a Tesla store. The most notable changes are to the car’s range, and these were in the updates to Tesla’s website. In 2020, the base Model 3 had 250 miles of range and it topped out at 322 miles, while the Performance-trimmed cars were able to go 299 miles on a single charge. For 2021, the base Model 3 now has 263 miles of range, the Performance models can go 315 miles, and the long-range cars see a major...
Ariana Grande Mysteriously Types ‘Positions’ on Keyboard Ahead of New Album: Watch
The singer, who recently collaborated with Lady Gaga for Mother Monster’s “Rain on Me,” last released an album in 2019. Thank U, Next dropped in February that year, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Producer Tommy Brown earlier seemingly hinted at the upcoming new album. On Oct. 10, he shared a photo of himself with Grande on Instagram and captioned it, “6****.” Earlier this year, during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the singer noted that she had put together a home studio, but added that fans shouldn’t expect new music anytime soon. “I don’t really feel comfortable putting anything out right now, because it’s just like other than this, it’s a really tricky time for all of that,” Grande explained....

Quavo Shows Off His Go-To McDonald’s Meal
“What U Want ???” he added. It’s unclear whether Quavo was hinting at wanting a partnership with the fast food company or just showing off his favorite lunch. Travis Scott had a limited edition partnership with McDonald’s — with a meal consisting of a Quarter Pounder with cheese, bacon and extra lettuce, a medium order of fries with BBQ sauce and a Sprite — that helped boost sales over the summer, and there’s currently a J Balvin pick (a Big Mac, a medium order of fries with ketchup and an Oreo McFlurry) available through Nov. 1.

Watch Third Eye Blind Pay Tribute to Eddie Van Halen With ‘Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love’ Cover
When Eddie Van Halen died on Oct. 6, tributes flew in from just about everywhere. But one of the many things that has put a damper on 2020 (beyond the million other obvious ones) is that with the few live shows taking place, a slew of proper, fiery cover versions of Van Halen songs hasn’t really happened. At their socially-distanced show in Southern California last night, Third Eye Blind performed what seems to be the first live tribute to the guitar legend. The band opened up their show (which featured folks watching from their cars) with a version of “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” from VH’s self-titled 1978 debut. It’s pretty standard as compared to the original, but nonetheless, it’s a solid tribute done by Stephan Jenkins and company. Check it out below. [embedded content] You De...
