I find that very hot temperatures don't (40-45C) don't compromise range all that much -- certainly not like cold temps with the resistive heat (I have a REX). And the comfort climate control is very nice when running errands on hot days.

Don't worry about the range; drive on in to get a new battery before you have to walk.

Perhaps you're calling me those things, perhaps you are not -- plausible deniability, I suppose.

I've seen less risky projects that failed . . .

I could live without yet another something wanting to solve a solved problem with an "app".

What in particular makes you suggest that there's anything underhanded going on, or that the licenses are not legit? It's a serious accusation . . .

Unexpected auto-renewals can be a pain, but BMW's non-notification of lapsing subscription is still kinda odd in the other direction. I know I need to update my sub when my kid notices the RTTI highlights disappear from the streets on the map . . .

Definitely try these features so you can brag to your ICE driving friends and family about how cool they are. Or how warm they are if you're bragging in wintertime . . .

Done that. Once.

I haven't ignored anything, I have a differing opinion.

Since the OP still has some electric bill, I'd imagine they sell excess back to the utility rather than storing it at home in their off-grid cabin.

IMO the solar panels on the Aptera is more of a marketing gimmick. The claimed output of the solar panels is way higher than could be hoped for, even if it were sunny with a 100% chance noon all day. OTOH, that 700W isn't going to do that much for its range -- that's less than one horsepower in...

I mean the "Whatsap" . . .

I used to be "with it," but then they changed what "it" was; now what I'm with isn't "it," and what's "it" is seems weird and scary to me.

Yikes!!!
