An "open material license" costs $2-4k. Basically the same price as Micronics printer. It's unfortunate we won't have a hobby level SLS printer in the near future.
It's been a possibility in my options contracts. However, the company must agree to it, cash your exercise check, and send the necessary paperwork to the IRS. If they choose not to cooperate, you're out of luck.
That's a fair point - if you are going to drive long distances, then a Tesla is the best option in terms of network reliability and price. But for most, an adapter with the occasional road trip isn't a deal breaker. Tesla owners have had to use an adapter for charging at non-superchargers since inception.
Buy the car for what it is today, not what it might be tomorrow. Many Tesla owners have been burned hoping for a feature, a retrofit, or even missing out on one taken away.
If you qualify for this, or know someone that would - kicad is a great tool to learn, and probably the defacto standard for designing pcb's now that EAGLE has been discontinued.
But, I want to give a shoutout to easyeda.com. You can export straight to jlcpcb and it has parts integration with their preferred supplier lcsc.com so that you can do turnkey assembled boards from jlcpcb. It gets really interesting once you start designing with smaller surface mount components that might be too hard to solder at home.
