So it looks like there’s not as much functionality in the Home app as there is in the manufacturers app, aside from adding a cleaning run to a scene/automation. If i wanted the vacuum to run every time i left the house, that would be perfect. My Shark AV2510 has a robust app that allows me to pick individual rooms, cleaning strength and schedule a time/day to clean. So im wondering why would i go through the hassle of setting up my vacuum in the Home app, just to have the same functionality as the Shark app already on my phone? I rarely get into the actual Home app, as everything I have set up can be controlled with a voice command (lights, door lock, fan), so I’d love to just be able to voice command the vacuum…but it sounds like that’s not possible. Or am I misunderstanding?

We’ve had them in Arizona since the beginning, or very near the beginning, and the only place I’ve ever been able to use it is the airport. Which is nice, but certainly not life changing because I still carry my physical card with me or my passport when I travel. I think getting to the point where we no longer need to carry a wallet and keys is further off than we think.

If the strategy isn't developing & manufacturing batteries and transitioning to EVs as fast as possible, all they are doing is fighting for a part of an increasingly smaller pie, and eventual death. Feels like the game is already over with Chinese battery and EV prices hitting some pretty impressive low prices this year though.

A wartime-like mobilization of battery manufacturing and development is needed by all the incumbents to catch up.

Really wish Apple made an EV.

Are you for real? lol. Every single auto manufacturer is walking back their EV plans over consumer backlash. Heck, Dodge said the next Charger was going to be EV only and they’ve already apologized and promised a 3.0L twin turbo ICE called the Hurricane. The only people who think full EVs are the future are you and Elon. The resale value on a Tesla should tell you that’s never going to happen. Losing 50% of its value in less than a year is absolutely hilarious. The future for stellantis is continued development of ICE vehicles and hybrids, not full EVs. Even with added infrastructure and additional charging stations, EVs will never beat being able to gas up in 5 min or less and be on your way.

I like it, but I think it's in the wrong place. It needs to be nearer the edge of the phone, unless you have huge hands you end up half covering the display whilst stroking the button.

Agreed. If the button was moved toward the bottom end of the phone so the left edge started where the current buttons right edge is, that would be perfect placement to me.
