There’s optimal cheap and too cheap. Someone always wants to be the cheapest in its class, and they’ll compromise on quality to get there.

I’ve owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.

At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.

“Millions” is cheap in car making. It buys you just enough design for manufacturability to make it good enough and cheap enough for people to buy.

Less design -> worse result while more expensive to produce. Example: Podbike (I like it, but the price)

Then register it to the next vehicle class, semi-light or whatever. Have the lawmakers fit the laws to the optimal vehicle designs with 2025 technology. How old is the law with the weight limits? Time to update and fit law to existing reality? Isn’t it tradition to let the industry write the laws that apply to itself? Aptera is industry.

If the weight limit were to be adhered to, then the four-wheeler’s structure would have to be redesigned around lighter engineering.

That law is lawfare from the traditional car industry and has to be changed.

Trikes are only good for saving pennies at the cost of driveability and usability - they should not be incentivised by law. Four-wheelers are more stable and should be under the same law as trikes.

Aptera is stupidly shooting itself in the foot with an awkward three-wheeler instead of making a good, light, safe, illegal car and attacking the harmful law with it. A quad could have a cargo space or back seat between the two rear wheels.

Trikes are less stable than 4-wheelers, slow and teetery around curves, unless very low centre of gravity.
Trikes can’t have a cargo space or back seat between the one rear wheel.

Sabotage through lawfare is being done to velomobiles / pedal cars:

I’ll start respecting it the moment they add the fourth wheel.

Plausibly deniable attacks on political opposition.

Maybe they are like that because we already ship them off to indoctrination camps between ages 7-13.

Leadership: What is important, what redundant projects should be joined or axed and their developers merged.

Carnauba wax is food-safe, but non-abrasive, so it won’t smooth the now-etched matte surface, and it’s fairly soft, so not very durable. Many car waxes are based on it.

When I needed to anodise an aluminium object, I took it to the back door of a medium-sized coating company that serves businesses. I included a note with some relevant information: “no rush, do it when it’s easy for you”, acceptable range of colours, and my contact info. Took a while, the result was perfect, the price was low.

You might prefer confabulation, or bullshitting.

The Starlost needs a remake. Great premise, dollar store execution.

Foreseeing the destruction of Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures. Their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.

In 2385, more than 100 years into the voyage, an unexplained accident occurs, and the ship goes into emergency mode in which each biosphere is sealed off from the others.

Centuries after its original launch, most of the descendants of the original crew and colonists are unaware that they are even aboard a spaceship.

A more objective, or at least utilitarian justification is that oligarchy reduces total welfare by overconsuming limited resources for the benefit of the few. Propaganda for such inequity is unethical and should be banned.

Was that a gif animation? As such, it’s hard to understand.

Surely the banning government would recommend Loops, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Mastodon, and Signal.

Surely squeezing people out of social media giants would bring many more people to Lemmy?
