    Though there have been some recent rumors about Apple getting back to their car project. Apple hints at plan to build a car after all as it rehires ex-Tesla engineering head – TechCrunch

    Does it have a cleanable container, or does it have replaceable bags?

    It must be portable. Looks like it has a handle on the rear.

    I don't care if it looks like a 50's Hoover, I just want more people working on solid state batts.

    Reminds me of the old creed from when I worked for DEC "Nothing sucks like a VAX"¹

    ¹ actually used as a (failed) advertising slogan for VAX vacuum cleaners (UK firm: VAX UK Ltd)
