Yes, the aerodynamics + solar panels is what makes this vehicle enticing, not just the solar panels alone.

You're taking for granted the fact that many people don't have the luxury of modifying their house/condo/apartment to install and maintain solar panels. Nor is it guaranteed that they have a garage/driveway to charge their car. With the Aptera, you wouldn't have to deal with the hassle or inability to install solar panels because you would be able to passively charge it anywhere it's sunny (i.e. while driving as well). So I disagree that this is just an objectively worse option than charging with rooftop solar, especially because of how competitively priced the Aptera will be compared to standard EVs.

I'm working on a music player app written in libcosmic. Trying to see how far I can get with this toolkit.

But what's the frame of reference?

At my company, white hat hackers are to be called "offensive security researchers". Black hat hackers are to be called "attackers".

I'd imagine your hands would get chafed and dry after a while of using this thing.

Really loving the new changes! Can't wait to see try the alpha out

Yeah I had trouble building it on Arch. Something went wrong with a particular dependency, but I forget which. I'll give it another try soon, since I'm incredibly eager to experience the newer changes.
