DALLAS (KDAF) — What is your favorite place to eat in Dallas? With so many options to choose from, it’s hard to justify going to the same place over and over, but humans are creatures of habit and that’s okay.
Whether it be Cane Rosso, Chili’s, or any other Dallas eaterie, your favorite is your favorite. In the spirit of favorites, a new report from Bid-On-Equipment.com looked at the most popular restaurants in each major U.S. city.
Officials say they used Yelp to find the top 40 highest rated and reviewed restaurants in each city. They used that data and Google search data to find the most searched restaurant in each state.
According to the study, the most popular restaurant in Dallas is none other than Dallas-based Velvet Taco.
Across the nation, the study says the most popular food option is breakfast food (editor’s note: same), with most people (77% of people) preferring to eat at local restaurants.
Despite a universal love of eating out, the study found that half of the people in the nation are eating out less because of inflation.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Traveling around the world will allow you to experience cuisines like no other and if you’re a foodie, trying out new food, cuisines and dishes is in your blood, but not everyone can afford to do these worldwide travels to titillate their tastebuds.
The U.S. has cuisines from all over the world highlighted in each state including Mediterranean, Asian fusion, new American, Vietnamese, Southeast Asian, Japanese, barbecue, Italian, Korean and Portuguese. Each state has their claim to fame, but according to a study done by VacationRenter, they’ve found some surprises along the way when it comes to the highest-rated cuisines, by state.
“One of the joys of traveling as a foodie is getting to try out the very best that different cuisines have to offer. Depending on which cuisines you’re most interested in, you can tailor your trip to the states where specific dishes are most prominent,” the publication wrote.
When it came to Texas, a surprise of all surprises was afoot as the study found that Texas is a keen spot for miscellaneous European cuisine.
We know the Lone Star State for its Tex Mex, BBQ, and steak, but who knew that European cuisine was held in such high regard down south?
VacationRenter said, “Perhaps surprisingly, Texas – home of heated barbecue sauce battles – is touted as one of the ideal places to go for miscellaneous European cuisines. Texas might seem like a place for only traditional American cuisine, like burgers and fries — or even New American cuisine, featuring the flavors of the American melting pot — but you’ll also get a great mix of German, British, Basque, Polish, and Scandinavian eats in the Lone Star State. “ | 2022-07-21T21:47:49Z | cw33.com | STUDY: Did you know Texas is ideal for eating miscellaneous European cuisines? | https://cw33.com/news/local/study-did-you-know-texas-is-ideal-for-eating-european-food/ | https://cw33.com/news/local/study-did-you-know-texas-is-ideal-for-eating-european-food/ |
DALLAS (KDAF) — Winning a Super Bowl is a feeling like no other that only a few people on earth can say they’ve experienced and while winning and all the money that comes with it is otherworldly, the bling acquired after winning at the biggest stage of professional football is ridiculous.
A couple of superstars for the Los Angeles Rams who just so happen to be Texas high school football alums from North Texas were able to enjoy themselves Thursday night as they were given their 2021-22 Super Bowl LVI rings. DeSoto’s Von Miller and Highland Park’s Matthew Stafford were key players in the Rams’ road to glory this past season becoming Super Bowl champs.
Now, the two are going to be in possession of some of the most ridiculous jewelry the sports world can offer. The Rams said in a tweet, “Most carat weight in history of a sports championship ring. The Super Bowl LVI ring in all its glory.”
Former Dallas high school football star Matthew Stafford wins statement first Super Bowl
According to a press release, the rings were designed by a combined effort of Rams players, team leaders, and LA-based Jason of Beverly Hills. “To be able to not only win the Super Bowl, but also to do it in the house Mr. Kroenke built, is really a dream come true,” said Los Angeles Rams Vice President of Football & Business Affairs Tony Pastoors. “We are grateful to Jason and his team for their creativity and passion to deliver a championship ring that reflects our team and their historic season, the one-of-a-kind stadium where it happened, and the city that inspired all of it.”
Quick description of the ring:
“On the face of the ring is the Vince Lombardi Trophy, comprised of one marquise stone and a trophy base of .12 carats of round diamonds to represent the 12 regular season wins. The palm trees on either side of the Trophy celebrate Los Angeles and consist of .26 carats of diamonds representing the franchise’s 26 total postseason wins. The center Rams LA logo features special cut blue and yellow sapphires.” | 2022-07-22T17:17:55Z | cw33.com | LA Rams superstars, Texas high school football alums receive Super Bowl LVI rings with major bling | https://cw33.com/news/la-rams-superstars-texas-high-school-football-alums-receive-super-bowl-lvi-rings-with-major-bling/ | https://cw33.com/news/la-rams-superstars-texas-high-school-football-alums-receive-super-bowl-lvi-rings-with-major-bling/ |

DALLAS (KDAF) — Good things come to those who wait, but if you aren’t playing while waiting there’s no way good things can come to you from the lottery. While no one won the massive $660 million jackpot from July 22’s Mega Millions drawing, three Texans came out with a handsome payday.
While no jackpot or secondary prize of $1 million was won, three Texans matched four of the five winning numbers along with the Mega Ball to win $30,000 each after they also Megaplied their tickets taking the winnings from $10,000 to $30K.
There were also four others that did not Megaplie who won $10,000 each. The winning numbers from that drawing were 14, 40, 60, 64, 66 and the Mega Ball was 16. In total, there were nearly 300,000 Mega Millions winning tickets sold in Texas that at least won $2 or as much as $30K.
Now, players continue to flock to retailers that sell Mega Millions to try their hand at the $790 million annuitized jackpot for July 26 (cash value of $464.4 million). There have been only three lottery jackpots ever won higher than Tuesday’s jackpot prize of $790 million. Two were Mega Millions jackpots – $1.537 billion won in South Carolina in 2018 and $1.050 billion won in Michigan in 2021. | 2022-07-25T15:01:15Z | cw33.com | 3 $30,000 winning Mega Millions tickets sold in Texas as jackpot rolls to $790 million | https://cw33.com/news/texas/3-30000-winning-mega-millions-tickets-sold-in-texas-as-jackpot-rolls-to-790-million/ | https://cw33.com/news/texas/3-30000-winning-mega-millions-tickets-sold-in-texas-as-jackpot-rolls-to-790-million/ |

DALLAS (KDAF) — It may not be the massive $790 million Mega Millions jackpot, but it’s a jackpot win nonetheless and we don’t think this North Texas resident will be complaining one bit about their big win.
The Texas Lottery reports a resident of Arlington has recently claimed a $7.25 million jackpot from the game Lotto Texas. When this top-prize-winning ticket was bought, the purchaser chose the cash value option and the winner will receive exactly $4,632,166.56 before taxes.
The claimant of this over $4.6 million prize chose to remain anonymous. The Arlington resident’s ticket matched all six of the numbers drawn 7, 10, 23, 34, 46 and 47. That ticket was purchased at Circle K on Valley View Lane in the city of Irving.
The lottery says, “Lotto Texas is played by picking six numbers from one to 54 and offers multimillion-dollar jackpots. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT. For $1 more per Play, a player can select the Extra! add-on feature and win up to $10,000 more on non-jackpot prizes.” | 2022-07-25T19:31:13Z | cw33.com | Arlington resident claims $7.25 million jackpot Texas Lottery prize | https://cw33.com/news/texas/arlington-resident-claims-7-25-million-jackpot-texas-lottery-prize/ | https://cw33.com/news/texas/arlington-resident-claims-7-25-million-jackpot-texas-lottery-prize/ |

You may know William Jackson Harper from shows such as HBO’s “Love Life” and Netflix’s “The Good Place” but what you may not have known was how he wanted to quit acting. The actor stated that he had been beaten up enough before he landed on “The Good Place” and thought it would have been a relief to leave the industry before landing the Netflix series.
Harper touched on his new thriller mystery show “The Resort,” where he plays the character Noah to help solve a fifteen year mystery. The cast and crew trecked it down to a lovely resort and at times through a sketchy jungle down in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic for filming.
The show is not only a thriller mystery but it is also a coming of age love story and about a love that is matured, the disappointment of time and nostalgia. The first three episodes of “The Resort” drop tomorrow on Peacock. | 2022-07-27T21:45:53Z | cw33.com | William Jackson Harper heads down to Puerto Rico to film 'The Resort' | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/william-jackson-harper-heads-down-to-puerto-rico-to-film-the-resort/ | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/william-jackson-harper-heads-down-to-puerto-rico-to-film-the-resort/ |
Pollo Campero launches new spicy chicken sandwich, along with limited time deal
DALLAS (KDAF) — Pollo Campero has officially thrown its hat into the ring against a plethora of other restaurants in the fight for the top chicken sandwich in the market.
Its new spicy chicken sandwich will feature a zester habanero mayo, fried or grilled chicken and sweet pickles in between buttered brioche buns. “Available now, the new Spicy Chicken Sandwich is available on its own or in a meal with a choice of Pollo Campero’s unique sides that include Campero Beans, Yuca Fries, and Sweet Plantains.”
Alongside the launch, for a limited time, guests will be able to purchase one spicy chicken sandwich meal and get another for free!
“With our new Spicy Chicken Sandwich, we’ve raised the bar on what fans can expect from Pollo Campero,” said Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer Luis Javier Rodas. “Our Habanero Mayo, paired with our flavorful, one-of-a-kind Campero chicken, packs a punch and makes our new Spicy Chicken Sandwich the stand out choice among all the other contenders.”
If that deal isn’t enough, on July 29, Pollo Campero will be giving out free drinks (at select locations) with their spicy chicken sandwich when the temperature reaches a certain degree. “For example, when the mercury hits 95 in Dallas, area fans will be notified via email that the deal is active.

Consumers should sign up for the email list and select their favorite location to get a shot at the specials, which will include codes for 50% off a Spicy Chicken Sandwich later in the summer.” | 2022-07-27T21:45:59Z | cw33.com | Pollo Campero launches new spicy chicken sandwich, along with limited time deal | https://cw33.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/pollo-campero-launches-new-spicy-chicken-sandwich-along-with-limited-time-deal/ | https://cw33.com/lifestyle/food-and-drink/pollo-campero-launches-new-spicy-chicken-sandwich-along-with-limited-time-deal/ |

DALLAS (KDAF) — Another lottery game another jackpot rolling on to gain more steam (jackpot prize money) and this time it’s a game that resides in the great state of Texas, but its most recent drawing didn’t go on without giving away some prize money.
Lotto Texas’ drawing on July 27 didn’t see a jackpot-winning ticket and therefore the $8.25 million jackpot rolls onto July 30 where the top prize rises to $8.5 million (cash value of $5.62). The winning numbers for the drawing were 6, 8, 10, 15, 44 and 46.
While no one matched all six winning numbers there were numerous players who matched five to win at least $1,331 and as much as $11,331 (if they chose the Extra! option). There were 16 total winners who matched five of the six winning numbers and three of them chose the Extra! option to take their winnings to another level.
In total from this Lotto Texas drawing there were over 40,000 winners who won at least $2 and as much as $11,331. | 2022-07-28T17:32:26Z | cw33.com | 3 $11,331 winning Texas Lottery tickets sold around Texas | https://cw33.com/news/texas/3-11331-winning-texas-lottery-tickets-sold-around-texas/ | https://cw33.com/news/texas/3-11331-winning-texas-lottery-tickets-sold-around-texas/ |
DALLAS (KDAF) — While everyone’s eyes are keenly fixed upon the Mega Millions jackpot another popular lottery game is seeing its jackpot rise slowly but surely and a resident of the Lone Star State won a significant prize from the most recent drawing.

In Texas, there were nearly 55,000 winners who won at least $4 and as much as $50,000. The next Powerball drawing is set for July 30 and the jackpot has risen to $170 million with a cash value of $100.5 million.

Texas Lottery: Mega Millions
DALLAS (KDAF) — It just keeps climbing and climbing higher each time there’s no winner so, eventually, all of these losses are about to add up to an insane lottery win.

DALLAS (KDAF) — The end of July is always a little more magical when you realize that one of the most popular wizards in the world’s birthday is July 31! So, happy early birthday Harry Potter!
So, let’s say if Harry were to visit the United States, what states would he be keener on spending time in? According to a recent survey done by Dish Network the sorting hat from Harry Potter has made its choices on what each state’s Hogwart’s house is.
Dish said, “Whether you’re a Gryffindor gal, a Slytherin stan, a Hufflepuff homie, or a radical Ravenclaw, you are sure of one thing—your house is better than the others. And although the Sorting Hat is the one that ultimately chooses your house, we decided to do a little sorting ourselves. Using a combination of Google Trends and a survey of 1000 Wizarding World quiz-takers, USDISH wanted to know which state belonged to which “Harry Potter” house and where you believed you should reside.”
Texans, gear up for your villain arc as you’re with the majority of the U.S. among the House of Slytherin (27 states). Only three states were named to Gryffindor, five to Hufflepuff and the remaining 16 to Ravenclaw.
USDISH: Hogwarts Houses Survey—The Sorting Hat Made Its Choices
“Maybe people were more curious about the dark arts than light magic. Slytherin House was the most searched Hogwarts House in 27 states. Sixteen states were sorted into Ravenclaw House in second place, and five states ended up in Hufflepuff.”
Be sure to check out all of the survey’s findings and more fun information on what if states were Hogwart’s houses. | 2022-07-28T20:15:25Z | cw33.com | Harry Potter fans might be surprised what this survey says Texas' Hogwarts House is | https://cw33.com/news/texas/harry-potter-fans-might-be-surprised-what-this-survey-says-texas-hogwarts-house-is/ | https://cw33.com/news/texas/harry-potter-fans-might-be-surprised-what-this-survey-says-texas-hogwarts-house-is/ |

DALLAS (KDAF) — Jordan Peele has once again delivered a critical and box office success with the release of his third directorial venture Nope.
The film grossed more than $44 million domestically at the box office on its opening weekend. This makes it the largest opening weekend for an original film since the debut of his last film Us. Nope is also the largest release of any original film since the shutdown of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite this great success, Nope did fall short of early projections of a $50 million box office opening, probably in part due to the film’s reception with general audiences, which was milder than Us.
If you are looking to see a movie in North Texas this weekend and you’re not in the mood for horror, two new films have hit theaters this weekend, one of which is set in West Texas.
Film synopsis: Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime side by side in Metropolis. However, Krypto must master his own powers for a rescue mission when Superman is kidnapped.
Film Synopsis: A radio host from New York City attempts to solve the murder of a girl he hooked up with and travels down south to investigate the circumstances of her death and discover what happened to her.

Scott ‘Movie’ Mantz raves about this weeks movie reviews for ‘Thirteen Lives,’ ‘Vengeance’ and ‘Not Okay’
The reviews are in and Scott ‘Movie’ Mantz cannot say enough good things about the latest movies, “Thirteen Lives,” “Not Okay” and “Vengeance.”

DALLAS (KDAF) — Stop right there. We know you have been planning that trip to Europe for quite some time now, but did you know that you can still get the beauty of Europe in North America?
You just have to look a little closely for it.
To help you out, House Beautiful has created a list of 35 American towns that look like they are straight out of Europe, and what do you know, Texas has made the list.
According to the report, Fredericksburg is one of the towns they say looks like it is straight out of Europe.
“German immigrant settlers founded this town in 1846, which is why it’s known for its mix of German heritage with Texan hospitality (an unbeatable combination). Throughout the town you’ll find tons of specialty shops and biergartens,” as the report states.

The icon of Dallas: Where you can get the best views of the city any time of day

Some of the landmarks that can be seen from the tower include the Sixth Floor Museum and Dealey Plaza and even as far as Downtown Fort Worth.

Seafood, once enjoyed only by Americans living on the coasts, is now available everywhere thanks to greatly improved transportation and storing technology. And Americans love seafood: Red Lobster, the casual dining chain, has hundreds of locations in 44 states and brought in $2.5 billion in sales in 2019. But Americans who love seafood seek it out in historic establishments and fine-dining restaurants as well as chains. Cooking styles and techniques vary across regions, many of which have their own specialized and beloved takes on seafood preparation, from boils to bakes to bisques.
To celebrate all things that travel from sea to dinner plates, Stacker compiled a list of the highest-rated seafood restaurants in Dallas on Tripadvisor.

A behind the scenes look, mid-reno
DALLAS (KDAF) — DIY is all the rage. All over TikTok are stories of people buying secondhand items and giving them some love. The result is something that looks brand new.
But this idea of upcycling is not new in real estate. People have been buying inexpensive homes and renovating them for years. If you want to try your hand at a fixer-upper project, a new report from StorageCafe is saying that Dallas is the place to do it.
StorageCafe compared 50 of the biggest cities in the nation on which cities were the best and worst cities for fixer-upper homes and Dallas ranked 7th in the nation.
Here are the reasons why officials say Dallas is such a good city for fixer-uppers:
Fixer-uppers in Dallas represent about 9% of the existing homes for sale.
The fixer-upper discount represents about 44% of the listing price, a more than hefty saving, as compared to Austin for example (ranked 49th) where fixer-uppers are priced 13% lower than typical homes.
In fact, buying a fixer-upper shaves approximately $260K off the price of a turnkey home here.
In line with national trends, fixer-uppers are 24% smaller than standard homes in Dallas.
Here are the 10 best cities for fixer-uppers:

SECOND SHOT SITDOWN — In this Second Shot Sitdown, Fort Worth-based actor Jordan Walker Ross sits down to talk about how he learned to overcome his limp, cerebral palsy and severe scoliosis to land roles in 1883 and The Chosen.
That limp had a negative impact on his acting career for a long time – having casting directors and agents tell him to “lose the limp” and even being replaced from the project because it was too distracting.
It wasn’t until he was cast in The Chosen that he started to love his “limp” and the things that make him different. Some of his grit and determination come from watching his grandfather, Barry Corbin struggle to get roles early in his career.
This is part of a 30-minute conversation.

DALLAS (KDAF) — All the hoopla of the Mega Millions Jackpot in July has come to halt after someone in Illinois had matched the winning numbers and the Mega Ball to take the top prize off the market, however, that hasn’t stopped players from playing the game.
The Texas Lottery reports a $10,000 winning ticket was sold in the Lone Star State from the most recent Mega Millions drawing on August 2. The winning numbers were 10, 14, 25, 37, 63 and the Mega Ball was 14; the winning ticket matched four of the five winning numbers along with the Mega Ball to take the $10,000 prize.
There were no jackpot winners for Mega Millions so, the $20 million jackpot rolls on; there were also no secondary prize winners of $1 million. In total there were over 47,000 winners from this drawing in Texas who won at least $2 and as much as $10,000.
The next drawing is set for August 5 with a jackpot of $36 million (cash value of $21.4 million). | 2022-08-03T18:45:23Z | cw33.com | $10,000 winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Lone Star State | https://cw33.com/news/texas/10000-winning-mega-millions-ticket-sold-in-lone-star-state/ | https://cw33.com/news/texas/10000-winning-mega-millions-ticket-sold-in-lone-star-state/ |
Faraday Future says it needs more cash to launch FF91
Faraday Future has signaled it will need to raise more cash to start production of the FF91, an electric crossover that was first shown more than five years ago.
In a regulatory filing issued on Monday, the electric-vehicle startup said it is in talks to raise cash to fund “production activities” through the end of 2022 and beyond.
In the same filing, the company said it will also need to raise cash to fund “operations” through the end of 2022, as well as “commercially launch” the FF91.
The company said it is looking to raise over $200 million in total.
Despite the headwinds, Faraday Future expects to start production and deliver the first FF91 crossovers in the U.S. in the third or fourth quarter of 2022. Production is scheduled to take place at Faraday Future’s own plant in Hanford, California.
The vehicle’s targeted starting price is $120,000, though only a special Futurist model will be available at launch. It has a targeted starting price of $180,000. In May we learned the company only had 401 pre-orders for the FF91 at the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Smaller FF81 and FF71 crossovers are planned and are targeted to start at $74,000 and $45,000, respectively. Faraday Future is also planning a delivery vehicle. | 2022-08-04T02:03:12Z | cw33.com | Faraday Future says it needs more cash to launch FF91 | CW33 Dallas / Ft.

The MC20 GT2 will be closely linked to the MC20 road car, including running the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, though teaser sketches hint at a much wilder design with larger side intakes and a fixed rear wing attached via swan-neck struts. The car is expected to be ready in time for the 2023 season.
2023 Maserati MC20 GT2 race car
The MC20 GT2 has some big shoes to fill. Some readers will recall the MC20’s predecessor, the MC12, competed in the similar FIA GT Series during the 2000s and was successful in no less than three 24 Hours of Spa races (2005,2006 and 2008).
The competition won’t be easy for the MC20 GT2, though. Some of the cars the Maserati will face include the Audi R8 LMS GT2, Brabham BT63 GT2, KTM X-Bow GT2, and Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
Maserati will also race in Formula E starting in 2023, in this case with a factory team. The automaker this week also announced a limited-edition track car that’s based on the MC20 and could potentially be a precursor for a race car designed for the GT classes of the SportsCar Championship or World Endurance Championship.

Silk-FAW, a joint venture between Italian startup Silk EV and Chinese auto giant FAW, on Monday provided an update on its plans to design and manufacture a range of exclusive, high-performance vehicles for Chinese luxury car brand Hongqi.
The company on Monday said it will proceed with plans to invest more than 1 billion euros (approximately $1.02 billion) on the project, which includes the construction of a plant at a site near Reggio Emilia, Italy, as well as an R&D center and headquarters.
Construction at the site, located close to established performance marques like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani, will begin in September.
Silk-FAW originally planned to have production of its first model, the S9 hypercar, up and running by early 2023, though the date has been pushed back due to delays in acquiring the land for the plant, Reuters reported on Monday. A new timeline wasn’t mentioned.
Hongqi S9 Hongqi S9 Hongqi S9
The S9 was first shown during Auto Shanghai 2021, where a number of key specs were also confirmed. The car will run a V-8-based hybrid powertrain capable of delivering 1,400 hp and a pure electric range of about 25 miles. The car should also be able to sprint to 60 mph in under 2.0 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 250 mph.
The S9 was designed by former Volkswagen Group design chief Walter de Silva, who has been hired by Silk-FAW to pen additional models for Hongqi, including a rumored S7 supercar.
Just 99 examples of the S9 are destined for production, each priced from about 1.5 million euros.
Range-topping models like the S9 will be built at the Italian site. Other models, which will be electric, will be built in China. | 2022-08-04T02:03:47Z | cw33.com | Silk-FAW plans Italian factory for high-end Hongqis, starting with 1,400-hp S9 hypercar | CW33 Dallas / Ft.

Sono Sion EV production form revealed, claims up to 152 miles a week from solar
Sono Motors on Monday revealed what it claims is a production-ready version of its Sion solar-assisted EV. Production is scheduled to start in the second half of 2023.
The production version gets revised exterior and interior styling, Sono said in a press release. The headlights, taillights, door handles, charge port, and rear fascia are new, according to the company.
On the inside, Sono said it changed the seats and steering wheel, while reconfiguring the interior to increase storage space. New color and trim options from what was previously offered to reservation holders are being added as well, the company said.
Sono Sion production model
The Sion is the only production model we’re aware of, ever, that’s used every body panel for solar. With proprietary cells and a unique process for incorporating them in the body process, Sion has approached this with startup workarounds.
A total of 456 solar half-cells should enable the hatchback to be driven longer distances without charging. Commuters in German metropolitan areas will charge four times less than drivers of conventional EVs with similar-sized battery packs, Sono claims.
The 54-kwh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack provides 190 miles of range on its own, with solar power adding an average of 70 miles of range per week, or up to 152 miles in ideal conditions, per Sono. The pack can also be charged conventionally at 11 kw from a Level 2 AC source or 75 kw with DC fast charging.
Bidirectional charging is also included, with an 11-kw output. That’s part of Sono’s goal of making the Sion into a home power bank.
Sono said it is currently building “series-validation vehicles” in Munich. These will be used for testing in both Europe and the United States, including both the homologation and crash tests required to sell the car, and the extreme-climate and handling testing needed to ensure durability and reliability. Despite plans to test in the U.S., Sono hasn’t discussed plans to sell the Sion here.
As of July 1, Sono claims to have over 19,000 reservation holders who have put down an average down payment of 2,225 euros ($2,225 due to current dollar/euro parity) against the Sion’s planned 29,900-euro ($29,300) base price.
Sono Sion and solar kit for city buses
Unveiling of a production-ready vehicle is a reassuring step for those reservation holders after Sono abruptly changed production plans. The Sion was originally slated to be built by NEVS at the former Saab factory in Sweden, but will now be built by Valmet Automotive in Finland. Valmet is also building the Lightyear 0, another solar-assisted EV.
Sono is also looking to expand beyond passenger cars. Alongside the production-form Sion, it showed a solar kit for European city buses like the Mercedes-Benz Citaro and MAN Lion City. The startup claims to have 19 customers for the kit, which allows climate control and other subsystems to run on solar power, but doesn’t replace buses’ diesel engines. | 2022-08-04T02:03:54Z | cw33.com | Sono Sion EV production form revealed, claims up to 152 miles a week from solar | CW33 Dallas / Ft.

US assembly of ID.4 brings VW closer to “EV for millions” mantra
Volkswagen on Tuesday confirmed that production of customer-bound ID.4 models has started at its Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant.
The occasion marks the first electric model the automaker has produced in the U.S.
Volkswagen says that 190,000 units of the ID.4 electric crossover SUV have been delivered globally, but only a small fraction of that has been to the U.S. So far, at least by sales numbers, it’s a niche model at less than 5,000 U.S. deliveries so far this year.
The Chattanooga plant is due to produce 7,000 ID.4s a month by later this year, bringing scaled-up production, and numbers that are more consistent with VW’s much-touted mission of making electric cars “for millions, not just millionaires,” and positioning it against models that sell in the hundreds of thousands annually, like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V.
VW says that Chattanooga is the sixth global site to be producing Volkswagen electric vehicles. Goalposts have hardly been happening at warp speed, however. Volkswagen broke ground on the plant expansion in 2019, and the plant started making validation builds last August.
Battery cells for the ID.4 will be supplied by South Korea’s SK innovation—but from the U.S., and a mammoth Georgia plant complex that also supplies cells for the F-150 Lightning. The plant was at the center of an International Trade Commission (ITC) dispute over trade secrets with rival South Korea supplier LG that came to a head in 2021, just as the Biden administration had been pushing toward more U.S.-built EVs with a higher level of domestic content. U.S.-built ID.4 versions won’t look much if at all different than global versions, but they’ll contain all sorts of U.S. supply-chain pieces, including interior parts from Indiana and South Carolina, steel from Alabama and Ohio, and materials and components from 11 states in all.
VW says that initially the U.S.-built ID.4 will be made with rear- or all-wheel drive with the larger 82-kwh battery pack, but a rear-wheel drive version with a 62-kwh battery pack will be made there starting later in the year.
The automaker had previously suggested that the starting price would be about $36,000, but the carmaker made no further confirmation on the pricing with today’s announcement—that’s still yet to come. | 2022-08-04T02:04:00Z | cw33.com | US assembly of ID.4 brings VW closer to “EV for millions” mantra | CW33 Dallas / Ft.

DALLAS (KDAF) — One of the most exciting fist fights in MLB history just so happened to involve the Texas Rangers and arguably the greatest pitcher to ever take the mound and let’s just say the Express could’ve had a decent career in boxing.
All the way back in 1993 the Texas Rangers were facing off against the Chicago White Sox on the 4th of August. Sox’s Robin Ventura was up to bat and Ryan hit the batter in the side on his first pitch.
Ventura wasted little time before charging the mound to Ryan, who was 46 years old at the time and was met with some hefty haymakers after being put into a headlock. The rest was history as the benches cleared in epic professional baseball fashion.
The Rangers shared a tweet on this amazing anniversary, “OTD in 1993…don’t mess with the Express.” | 2022-08-04T19:10:11Z | cw33.com | Nearly 30 years ago, Texas Rangers' Nolan Ryan threw haymakers to White Sox's Robin Ventura | https://cw33.com/sports/nearly-30-years-ago-texas-rangers-nolan-ryan-threw-haymakers-to-white-soxs-robin-ventura/ | https://cw33.com/sports/nearly-30-years-ago-texas-rangers-nolan-ryan-threw-haymakers-to-white-soxs-robin-ventura/ |

Reddit post suggests NFL QB Kyler Murray performs worse in games during Call of Duty in-game events
DALLAS (KDAF) — There’s no denying Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals is one of the best in the NFL. He’s thrown for over 11,400 yards, 70 touchdowns and has garnered Offensive Rookie of the Year award back in 2019.
The 24-year-old out of Bedford Texas was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 draft and the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner. However, despite all of that, people are claiming that the QB isn’t focused enough on football and watching film, but more focused on playing video games, specifically Call of Duty.

There’s no doubting Murray’s interest in video games as he is member of the massive gaming organization FaZe Clan. The org says, “Kyler Murray, officially known today as FaZe K1, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Though he may be most known for his football career, Murray has been playing video games since he was five-years old and has been passionate about gaming long before football and FaZe Clan were in the picture.”
Now, a Reddit post has been circulating the internet that looked at, “A statistical analysis of Kyler Murray’s performance on COD [Call of Duty] double XP weekends.” The post was found in the subreddit for the NFL community.
Basically, rumors spread that Murray plays too much COD, so much in fact, that it affects his performances on Sundays for the Cardinals. the Redditor looked at the game’s promotional events and cross-referenced it with Murray’s stats during these weekend events. The writer does admit, “EDIT: to all the people asking for t-tests normalized for opponent difficulty, I know. This post isn’t supposed to be provide any valid data.”

“Kyler Murray’s performance on 2XP weekends is worse in all categories. Clearly there is no explanation for Kyler’s performance deficits other than that he’s busy grinding for rare character skins and excessive amounts of XP. If you have any improvements to my shaky statistics work or if I missed an in-season 2XP weekend, let me know,” the Redditor concluded.
Pro Football Network ranks Kyler Murray as the 12th-best QB in the league while other publications have him higher and somehow lower. The main thing that’s setting Murray back from back a top 5-10 QB is injuries it seems. However, time will tell how good he truly is. | 2022-08-04T21:30:07Z | cw33.com | Reddit post suggests NFL QB Kyler Murray performs worse in games during Call of Duty in-game events | https://cw33.com/sports/reddit-post-suggests-nfl-qb-kyler-murray-performs-worse-in-games-during-call-of-duty-in-game-events/ | https://cw33.com/sports/reddit-post-suggests-nfl-qb-kyler-murray-performs-worse-in-games-during-call-of-duty-in-game-events/ |
DALLAS (KDAF) — Two NFL teams played football last night as the preseason is underway and that also means the regular season is under our very noses and on the horizon. While no Texas teams played or won a game, some within the Lone Star State did score a win.
The Texas Lottery reports two top prize-winning, $25,000 tickets were sold in North and South Texas for the Thursday night Cash Five drawing. The winning numbers for the August 4 drawing were 1, 4, 15, 28 and 31.

Stacker Texas: Most common jobs 150 years ago in Texas
In an effort to capture a snapshot of the U.S. job market’s history, Stacker compiled a list of the most common jobs in Texas from 150 years ago using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. By transcribing the previously untranscribed Table XXVII from the 1870 decennial census, a state-level glimpse into the historic job market can be seen. Nationally, farmers and planters were the most common occupation 150 years ago, just one of the many agricultural jobs that made up more than 47% of all employed persons over ten years old.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Texas is home to some of the best barbecue in the world and there are plenty of places in North Texas to get your food fix, including Hard Eight Pit BBQ in the Colony.
Fun on the Run producer Clarissa Bustamante took a visit to this barbecue spot and says she left in a food coma.
As soon as you walk in you can see all the meat inside the pit, including brisket, ribs, sausage, corn, and more! Then you pick what you want and they lay it out on a tray right in front of you.
She says you can’t leave without trying the jalapeno sausage and jalapeno sweet corn. If that’s too spicy, you can wash it down with a cold beer from their bar.
If you’re not close to the colony, they’ve got Hard Eight locations in Coppell, Roanoke, and Burleson as well.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Texas’ iconic amusement park Six Flags is celebrating its 61st anniversary today, with its first park opening right here in North Texas on Aug. 5, 1961.
The park was first opened by Texas oil man Angus G. Wynne, Jr. who had a dream of opening a theme park larger in scope than anything the world has ever seen, but closer to where people lived, unlike Disneyland, which at the time was only open in Anaheim, California.
He opened the first Six Flags in Arlington and named it Six Flags Over Texas after the Six Flags of Texas. Officials say there are now 27 parks operating in the U.S. Mexico and Canada!
