Mercedes unveils new electric concept cars with better range than any Tesla model

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:37 GMT

London (CNN) — Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled new “close-to-production” concept vehicles that could outdo Tesla cars by going more than 466 miles on a single charge. That’s compared with a range of less than 380 miles for any Tesla model.The German automaker’s Concept CLA Class, revealed Sunday at the IAA Mobility auto show in Munich, comprises four new models: a sedan, a station wagon and two SUVs. The company did not specify when exactly they would enter production.The vehicles will each have a range of more than 750 kilometers (466 miles), versus Tesla’s (TSLA) Model 3 and Model S, which have the brand’s highest ranges and each can go for just under 375 miles off one charge.Meanwhile, BMW also made a splash at the show by revealing a new electric vehicle that boasts a longer range and faster charging, in further evidence of German automakers’ efforts to fend off growing EV competition.Big European carmakers such as Volkswagen and Renault are already being squeezed...

It seems like everyone has COVID-19. Here’s why this wave is probably worse than official data suggests

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:37 GMT

(CNN) — COVID-19 certainly didn’t take a vacation this summer. Virus levels in the US have been on the rise for weeks, but it’s hard to know exactly how widely it’s spreading.Federal data suggests that the current increases have stayed far below earlier peaks and notable surges. But judging by word of mouth among family, friends and coworkers, it can seem like everyone knows someone who’s sick with COVID-19 right now.“We have several folks down with Covid, unfortunately,” one health-focused nonprofit told CNN when seeking comment for this story.Rates of severe disease may be staying at relatively low levels, but experts agree that there are probably more infections than the current surveillance systems can capture.“There is more transmission out there than what the surveillance data indicates,” said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. “And we should be paying attention to it, because we are starting to see an increase.”From 202...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:37 GMT

Later this month, when Jackson Holliday accrues a week’s worth of Triple-A plate appearances, he’ll join a club of some of MLB’s biggest names.Before they became stars in the big leagues, Bryce Harper, Ronald Acuña Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ozzie Albies did what Holliday is about to do. Those four players are among a shortlist of prospects since 2006 to reach Triple-A by their age-19 season and total at least 20 plate appearances, according to FanGraphs.Holliday, the No. 1 prospect in baseball, is set to be promoted to Triple-A Norfolk to continue his remarkable rise through the Orioles’ minor league system.

Div. 3-4 HS football: Trevor Foley catching on

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:53:37 GMT

MANSFIELD — It is not hard to find Trevor Foley when he is on the football field.He’s 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, and when he lines up for Mansfield at wide receiver, he draws a lot of attention.What is quite difficult, though, is being able to stop him. No one has done that yet, and the Hornets are hoping that continues in his senior season.With many taller receivers, running routes can be a bit awkward at the high school level. But Foley’s footwork and ability to change direction on a dime make him a tough cover.“Just practice, practicing over and over again, offseason, in season, after practice, before practice,” said Foley to explain his route-running prowess.“Usually, the tall, rangier kids that are that big, they’re good targets, but they’re not great getting in and out of cuts,” said Mansfield coach Mike Redding. “But he’s got great feet. His out cuts, he’s in and out and he’s got good length. You can run those...
