    I still think the Apple car project was abandoned because they couldn’t figure out a way to flip the car over for charging.

      Oh, they’d definitely figure it out: How about an optional ramp accessory, of course cryptographically coupled to the car for security reasons. And while we’re at it, why not place the engine start/stop button at the bottom? After all, if you’re trying to stop the engine you’re driving it wrong.

      I’d love this too.

      Having the port there is a not subtle hint about how often you need to charge it (next to never).

      If it dies plug it in, hit the washroom and when you’re back it will have enough charge to last to the end of the day, then plug it in before you leave and it’s good for 3-4 months minimum.

    Legitimately if they fix the ergonomics and the charging port it might actually not be a terrible choice. I keep the magic trackpad around for gestures whilst using my regular mouse
