There is one, Slate. They are offering a small electric truck that lets you fully customize it. There is also no tracking built in at all, which no other manufacturer can say right now.

The Australian electric Cupra's (VW subsidiary ) have no connected services, it's the biggest grievances owners have.

Yeah, but it's owned by Bezos, so fuck no.

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's not.
Bezos is one of the many investors that provided funding for it at the start, but he has a minority stake in the company.

At one point he had one board representative, but now even that isn't the case any more.

Close enough. Fuck Bezos and everything he touches.
