@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.
came here to say this. the only thing shitty about it that i’ve found is it’s bezo’s money behind it.
jay leno’s garage did an ok video about it last week. it was only ok because leno wouldn’t stfu. the truck seems pretty cool. i just wish someone would make a full bed ev truck. i’m not in it for the style, i need a vehicle to move full sheet goods with the gate closed.
@turdburglar @mortalic Ah man not another start promising startup ruined by big corpo. At least my local machine shop will make good money honing and decking the block and head.
Starting a car company requires an insane amount of funding. You’ll never find one that’s not working with shady billionaires.
I believe the slate is an ev if you’re talking about an internal combustion engine
@Cris_Color Slate is indeed an EV. I would still consider it if they keep all the extra unwanted technology away from it. Which is their selling point anyway. Just a bare bones simple electric vehicle with nothing special going for it. Expect forward reverse. Hopefully.
