Why do gamers insist on the same two or three maps in every multiplayer game that allows map voting? What's the point of any of the expansions if you can never play them?

I think the design is mostly locked in now as they push for production. Eliminating one wheel - along with the amazing aero work - drastically reduces friction and rolling resistance. Assuming it's a success, one would hope Aptera would work their magic on a more conventional four wheel model next!

Wow, still rocking a 2 eh? That's impressive! My 3 still works but the battery and CPU were finally getting a bit weak. I really miss the "Squeeze for Assistant" feature and wish they'd bring it back.

I remember reading about these in Popular Mechanics and Scientific American magazines in the 2000s and the supposed benefit was less noise and much more fuel efficiency. It's a bummer it's taken this long. I would love to see them come to fruition!

Will do! I have been bothering them on that other website that shall not be named. That's about the only thing I go there to do at this point. I also liked your feed, as I believe any attention for Aptera and the concept of sustainable transport is a good thing.

Perhaps it's because you can only get monetized on there if you pay for premium. Maybe some of the folks you're seeing have big audiences.

The face unlock on the 4 was awesome! Great phone, except for the tiny battery. The 6 and up have much bigger batteries which I appreciate very much. With the newish 80% charge limiting, you could stretch one of these phones for 5+ years easily.

Man, those wheels I tell ya...they're fun but too many of my tickets end up as ticket parts, which then end up as more ticket parts. I ended up with like five things still remaining. I'd also appreciate it if they let us continue to earn tickets these last few days.

Good point, and there is a lot of positive momentum with those special elections. I'm guessing they're just doing this account for the horrendous executive administration we're stuck with at the moment. Perhaps they could do multiple countdowns!

I just think it's weird how they had a good thing going with Microsoft and Halo but completed their 5-game contract and bought their independence (badass and respectable), then immediately signed with Activision, got their independence again, then immediately signed with Sony.
