Someone elsewhere in the thread linked https://www.openmotors.co/product/tabbyevo/, which I had never heard of before and which is actually pretty fascinating.

I'd obviously say the best open source vehicles are bikes and scooters, but I understand that currently isn't an option for everyone and that even in the ideal scenario there's going to need to be a small number of cars, trucks and vans. IDK how practical something like this will really be, but it's at least pretty neat.

Hey that's pretty cool!

If it were powerful enough to just slap a Honda Element chassis on there, it'd be so perfect. A man can dream. XD

Awesome thanks for the heads up! Feel like it will be possible just for bigger projects it will definitely need a community open source everything approach
