@cars Bring back mini trucks! My 1990 ford ranger is everything a commuter should be. People do not need fast cars they need something reliable, fast enough to get you from point A to B, and a perfect sized bed to haul almost anything in your home. Driving is still a blast BECAUSE IT IS SLOW! If you have not driven a vehicle with less than 100hp then treat yourself to the joys of your nearest shitbox.
You know, I mostly agree. However, this truck is the only new car coming out that isn’t connected to anything. There is no modem. Hell you have to use your phone for even shuttling firmware to it. But honestly, what billionaire would be acceptable? I can’t think of any.
Again:
You really think Amazon of all corps isn’t going to release a decent product to get people invested in a high cost ecosystem and then get all shitty about stuff?
You’re buying a car where the only parts you can buy is from Bezos, 3 years down the road shit will not be the same as release day. But people will have sunk cost into the base model by then
You’re looking for perfect, I get that, but this is the only vehicle that won’t be connected to the cloud, has a company pushing right to repair laws, is allowing customers to do their own warranty work if they want to, giving you how to guides with a repair manual, providing .stl files for 3d printing parts and still selling the vehicle for under $30k.
Look man, take the progress when it’s here before you end up with tesla robotaxies you can’t even drive, cuz that’s what happens of consumers don’t buy this truck.
