this is the only new car I would consider buying. Of course, if they did offer it in my market, it would be full of touch screens and spyware, so I still wouldn't buy it
tbh this is why i am still following that "Slate" EV Truck
A truly minimalist vehicle that not only doesn't have a touch screen, it also doesn't have a stereo system, a cellular data uplink, gps navigation, or even power windows (you can technically get power windows if you want to opt for them but the others are Bring Your Own Tech)
of course, i'm not putting any money down until the day i can actually get in and drive one off the lot MYSELF... been too burned by vaporware products -_-
this thing though, at the very least, feels like it might still be LIKELY because it's a minimum viable product single purpose tool:
It is a MACHINE
that turns ELECTRICITY
into GOIN' SOMEWHERE
And That's It.
NO MORE, NO LESS!
