Wow, this is unexpected, and great. The connector is a lot more elegant, the chargers work and are seamless (no app, no tapping of a card), etc.

I had a 3aXL and upgraded last year to a 6a. Great upgrade. The phone is quite good overall and is a good bang for the buck, though not much nicer than my wife's 5a.
I think the upgrades are probably worth $50.
As a person of an age where minimum focal distance is a bit long, I'd like the 7a to have a slightly larger screen (6a and 7a both 6.1 in).

Sky rockets in flight? (couldn't resist).

Hopefully the remaining dev path will be fast and not-explody.
Super-excited, long term, by the possibilities of Starship/SH.
With orbital refueling, higher speeds for craft heading to the outer planets are possible.
Huge things can be launched - both in size and mass.
Telescopes won't have to fold as much. Etc, etc.

Don't know that I'd ever seen the data on a nice 2D graph like that. Thanks!

I find some interesting stuff in these cars, but even if I had the money, I don't think I'd buy one. The 2 main fears I'd have (in the US) would be charging network and probability of company survival! Time will tell.

Good article. We'll see how it plays out in the coming years. I wish everyone luck, but assume the market isn't there for such a large # of firms.

@arstechnica Heh. Agreed. My first EV was a leased 2016 Spark, Best bang for buck! $69/mo. $2583 down, $2500 state rebate, $500 utility rebate, so in the black on day 1.
We have a mid-range model 3, cheapest at the time. Great car, plenty fast.
