![]() When I took it to the dealership, … they said they couldn't find anything wrong. The first issue I had was the strut rattle. It was comfortable, and I personally think it is the most gorgeous car on the road, but the issues. I love the Cross Sport, I miss it, but I think my particular vehicle was a lemon not necessarily all Cross Sports. I had my 2021 Cross Sport SE Premium 14 months before I traded it in. Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the Atlas Cross Sport and its surroundings for tight parking situations).Park assist (automatic steering system allowing the Atlas Cross Sport to fit into tight parallel parking spaces).Ventilated front seats with side bolstering.Trailer hitch with 5,000-pound capacity.V6 engine and all-wheel drive are standard.The top-of-the-line Atlas Cross Sport is fully loaded with: Takes the features from the SEL and adds R-Line black design elements: Emergency assist (with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping system active, can detect an unresponsive driver and bring the Tiguan to a safe stop).Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot).Lane keeping assistance (steers the Atlas Cross Sport back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker).The SEL also comes with the full IQ.Drive suite of semi-automated driving features, adding: Adaptive front lighting (provides better illumination in curves).Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Cross Sport and the car in front)Ī more tech-savvy trim level that makes the Atlas Cross Sport a borderline luxury vehicle.Wireless connectivity for CarPlay and Android Auto.Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing).Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios).Standard safety features on all Atlas Cross Sport models include: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.Proximity keyless entry and push-button start.The SE is the new base model and starts off with: Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and, depending on the model, either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. ![]() The Cross Sport offers two available engines: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) and a 3.6-liter V6 (276 hp, 266 lb-ft). The Atlas can tow a maximum of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, which is an average amount for a midsize crossover SUV. Unlike the Passport, there are only two sets of anchors. Got small kids? There's plenty of space for any child safety seat, though the anchors are surprisingly difficult to access behind the slits in the seatback. The overall storage isn't quite as clever as Honda's, but it's better than most others. ![]() The cupholders up front can accommodate 32-ounce bottles, and they have a good anti-tip design so smaller drinks won't go flopping around. ![]() The seatback releases are only accessible from the rear seating area and not from the cargo area. The 60/40-split folding seats lie mostly flat. Cargo liftover height is also a bit high. But it lacks any helpful means for securing bags or cargo, and consequently this wide and flat area can end up being a roller derby for your groceries. How’s the storage? Cargo space behind the rear seats is a big 40.3 cubic feet, which is just shy of the Honda Passport's 41.2 cubic feet. ![]() ![]() ![]() Insults, personal attacks, condescension, or similar behavior relating to the merits of platform choice will not be tolerated.

There are billions of people in the world without the tools to maximize their potential. SpaceX currently dominates the commercial launch market and is developing significant businesses in telecom, transportation, and space exploration. In 2008, Luke Nosek was the first venture capital investor to back SpaceX and has served on the board of the company since then. Our founders started backing the company during their time at Founders Fund. We have invested over $1 billion in SpaceX since starting Gigafund in July 2017. Most of the return potential from venture capital backed companies comes from 1-2 companies per decade. The difference between an average and an extraordinary business or entrepreneur becomes clear when looking out 20 years, which is why almost all of our funds will be invested into a handful of companies that we anticipate will become the world’s most significant. These transformative businesses tend to produce very substantial gains in the long-term, which is why we expect that a long-term focus will outperform the traditional 10-year venture model when it comes to investments in this type of entrepreneur. We seek founders who look past short-term trends, industry structures, and technology opportunities and instead use first principles to solve the world’s biggest problems. This is why Gigafund invests in all sectors, geographies, and stages, which is similar to the strategy that our founders successfully deployed at Founders Fund. ![]() Limiting focus to “yesterday’s” best-performing industries will miss these companies.

Reducing turntablism to beat matching is more than a little simplistic. There are some problems with this orthodoxy, however. In the best case, it’s an automatic transmission in a car: sucking the fun out of driving, and not entirely effective. In the worst case version of this world view, automatic tempo sync is simply the work of Satan, the end of music, and the beginning of the end times. The idea is, the essence of DJing, as received from the legacy of playing on two turntables, is manually adjusting the position of a record platter and its playback speed to match two tracks. (Oh, the humanity!) To be fair, this isn’t just an idea espoused by random people on forums some very famous DJs have said the same thing. To the computer DJ, the new controllers are blasphemy for a simple reason: they cement the idea that you might not be manually beat-matching tracks. And now something is something or other something else I’m bored.” Or, no, actually, they’re looking at pictures of cats, so never mind. Those folks, who I will dub in ethnographic terms as “normal people,” just read “Well, that’s a big heavy thing with lots of lights.

Secondly, it drops jog wheels and per-deck tempo controls in favor of touch strips and a master tempo control.

The 5kg/11lb weight isn’t so bad, but the physical hulk means you need dedicated space in a DJ booth to play it, and transportation is a challenge. There are two design decisions likely to generate discussion. You wouldn’t use the mixer without the computer, but at least it acknowledges you might get audio signal to and from the outside world. And it builds in an audio interface and 4-channel hardware audio mixer for connecting external gear – CDJs, turntables, synthesizers, whatever. It has a hardware layout tailored to the functionality of Traktor – deck controls, browsing, Remix Decks. As NI’s Maschine Studio has done for producers, it uses big, color screens on the hardware to keep your eyes on that controller rather than on your laptop. It’s hardware made specifically to sell software (or the other way around, if you like). It’s an audio mixer with control surfaces on both sides. But now that it’s fully revealed, the S8 is almost certain to fan the flames of an ongoing debate:įirst, we can at least work out what the S8 is. You’ve likely seen it already – this may be the most-leaked, most-teased DJ product in history. It’s such big news, you might hear about it outside the world of DJ tech followers.
