Volkswagen has finally unveiled the version of the ID.Buzz electric van designed for North America. And it’s not just a modern Microbus. The three-row design with two extra seats is ideal for road trips and large families, but it also has some upgrades over the two-row model.

The North American ID.Buzz has a larger 91kWh battery (versus 82kWh), a more powerful 282hp motor (versus 201hp) for the rear-wheel drive trim, and a higher 99mph (versus 90mph) top speed. It also offers an optional all-wheel drive configuration with a 330hp dual-motor system.

Google admits Pixel Watch has a faulty adhesive issue

Some Pixel Watch owners have reported that the back panel of their smartwatch falls off unexpectedly. This seems to be caused by a faulty adhesive that fails to keep the panel attached, especially when the watch is charged on a magnetic dock. The issue is not very common, and Google has offered to replace the affected watches under warranty. 

However, this is not the first time a Wear OS watch has had a similar problem. Fossil's Gen 4 and Gen 5 hardware also faced issues with their charging rings and back panels. Some Apple watch owners have also encountered this issue. Google says it is working to identify and fix the cause of the problem and hopes to avoid it in the future Pixel Watch models.
