    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’m thinking a dongle of some kind.

        There would be only one physical port. The same port would be used for the physical key to open the car, the hood/trunk release and the charging connection. You’d need a separate dongle for each function.
