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!!!

You're probably fine . . . original covers were ok with EF1 tornado wind-driven rain in Kansas. Pretty Wizard of Oz here that night! Sideways rain coming from the charging flap side of car . . .

How did that work? Did your car already have the necessary hardware -- the hands-on-wheel detector or whatever it's called?

Here in Kansas, it costs $20 more each year to register a hybrid, and $70 more to register an all electric vehicle vs. an ICE car. :(

Well, if I ever saw yours, it would be the first Protonic Blue one I saw in person! Looks nice.

I'm a (very) small contributed to the BimmerConnected project which is a ConnectedDrive plugin for HomeAssistant. And I can tell you that BMW is always monkeying around with the backend. Sometimes they have (accidental?) connectivity issues in some regions, and sometimes they start deiberately...

That's a nice shade of blue. I don't believe that was ever offered in a US market i3. Nicely complements the interior.

In the middle of the US, I see another i3 on the road almost every other week.

That guy was waiting 6.5 years to use that again!

Here in the Sunflower State, USA, my statuses all seem to be still available. I've got a '17, which does have a 4g modem -- that doesn't stop it from displaying a globe and the text "3G" when connecting . . someone hardcoded or bitmapped that or something. ;) I don't, however, use the app. I...
