That's definitely true! But if both are in one app you don't need to remember who uses Signal and who doesn't; it just works. Now with two apps, you have to run that mental check before sending a message and choose the right app.
I like the idea but that's a lot of money for very limited features. I understand the lack of features is the point, but a Nokia 6300 4G KaiOS phone is only $70. No Signal, but it has WhatsApp.

SPAN is a software and hardware company working to accelerate the transition to widespread home electrification and solar energy adoption, important requirements for achieving decarbonization goals over the next decade.
To get there, we are building a portfolio of products that manage and control energy usage:
* SPAN Panel – our flagship product – is a smart electrical panel designed for residential homes that actively manages and monitors solar, battery storage, electric appliances, EV charging, and the connection to the electric grid. Our panel offers homeowners actionable insights and unprecedented control over their home electricity usage.
* SPAN Drive – our new EV charging accessory – pairs with SPAN and brings charging home. Available Spring 2022.
* SPAN Power Assist – our opt-in demand response platform – helps grid operators shed loads during large-scale grid events.
We have a great product-market fit and a straightforward business model: we design and manufacture consumer hardware, which we sell to homeowners, builders, electricians, and solar and energy storage installers. We’re also working with industry-leading partners to offer our panel product through their extensive networks.
If you’re friendly, curious, and invested in applying your skills to scaling decarbonization, check out our jobs page at the top for a full list of current openings. If you have questions about any role, please post here or send an email to hiring@span.io.
Keyword bingo: Rust, firmware, C, Python, MQTT, embedded Linux (Yocto), real-time operating system (FreeRTOS), ARM, hardware, electronics, AWS

To chime in on the pity party; ordered a Ford Mustang Mach E at the start of April 2021. Original estimate was 3 months to delivery. Currently the delivery estimate is 10 months, but no one seems to be able to tell if that's real or not.
At current pace, ford will produce around 64k ME annually when they reach a year of full production. That is about 1/5th of Tesla's 2020 US production.
Meanwhile Tesla's Texas model Y factory is about to open and add another 500k to their annual capacity.
If demand is similar for both cars, I think you will be driving a Tesla sooner.
Mach E manufacturing is a joke. They recall all cars produced until summer because roof fell off. Right now they stop sales because of seat-bells. They have door opening issues all the time(check youtube).
Ford's overall EV production in their only Mexico plant in 2021 will be ~40k. While Tesla added Giga Berlin in Giga Texas in January, that pushes their production capacity to 2 millions/year. 2022 probably will be 1.4-1.5m tough.
Buying EV from Ford nowadays is like buying a car from a small startup. Even Rivian and Lucid will beat them in 1-2 years lol
The problem with form they don't make money on these EV's for them it's an experiment you're paying for. They makes production artificially low since they don't know what to do with EV's. Electric F150 planned volume is also a joke.

Span is reinventing the electrical grid to move us towards a distributed future. That means powerful edge compute and real time controllers integrated into buildings that can intelligently manage the flow of energy between connected systems. We don’t have time to ineffectually fumble at half-measures over the next decade, so instead Span is fast-forwarding to the grid of 2050. Distributed energy is a critical tool in solving the climate crisis and Span is a key part of the grid-wide overhaul that necessarily comes with it.
We are currently shipping the second iteration of our original product, the Span electrical panel in volume and generating revenue (in addition to multiple funding rounds). There is a significant amount of work left to realize the full potential of that product, and we are working on new and exciting things which have not yet been revealed.
If you're interested in working on an important problem with kind, smart people Span is the place to be! We are hiring across all engineering disciplines (and many other domains as well!) to work on current and future products. Check out the jobs page at the top for the full suite of openings. Happy to answer more detailed questions with specific information about certain roles here as well.

It's not exactly the same thing, but there's an app that does AR overlays of PCBAs [1] to help with debug. I haven't used it, but it's a pretty neat idea.
