   Wow that's atrocious customer support. If the device is non-working then you should be able to return it for a new one. Have you tried asking for a replacement instead?

    What do the other people on the team think? Team is everything, at the end of the day. Sounds like you're thinking about doing your own startup with the team anyways and are just tired of management. In my experience, this is usually a

    His logic is relatively weak. His proposal for Tesla to build a hybrid is laughable. This is why Bob Lutz is old guard.

    "different enough and it will grow more different over time" Can you elaborate more? Don't mean any disrespect, but this seems like a complete copy-paste of their interface.

    Yup -- always up to the developer. We don't create any contracts that binds them into anything. TBH, we can't take credit for the 20% thing. It's been done before (by itself).

    Thanks! No we just haven't sent out emails yet. We should have had an automated message upon signup but didn't put it in (stupidly). We're adding the automated message and will send updates to everyone tonight.
