    I think the concept is awesome, and I'm excited to see it, but it raises so many questions about how this is going to work. First question that comes to mind is how are you going t…

    I like the new logo and colors, but man the weird thickness, spacing, and kerning of the font is off putting. The rhythm is all wrong so some of the letters look like they're the w…

    The 480nm number is really impressive at this size. Especially at 5000rpm with the 4-1. Compared to a ICE motor that weighs ~200kg, you effectively free-up 40kwh~80kwh (80 if you b…
