Haha I think I met one!
Dude was a eco-friendly pro-Kamala pro-weed driving a Tesla.
When I made a joke about buying a Tesla before Elon went crazy, he kinda sheepishly shrugged and then excitedly talked about all the new things Tesla is coming out with.
Being excited about technological progress at Tesla or SpaceX doesn't mean you're a fan or supporter of Musk. These companies are full of thousands of engineers doing this work while the absentee CEO is spending his time shitposting and driving Twitter into the ground.
He's holding them back with his ego.
True. If the engineers and market experts would have had a say in this, they would have made a Micro-Van.
6 Seats, 3.5x1.8 meters, 300km range, flat pack floor folding seats in the back.... AND ALLOWED IN EUROPE FOR NOT BEING A PEDESTRIAN KILLING MACHINE.
So like the IdBuzz?
Yeah but maybe smaller. Real innovation needs courage. A K-Car sized Utilitarian Tesla could have lead the way, but they literally fucked up badly.
Where is the Roadster 2 btw?
Held back to avoid class action lawsuits over the 1000 mile range
I'd love someone to make a small (at least by today's standards) electric pickup similar to a 90s ranger or S10. If there was a cargo van I'd certainly consider it though.
Remember when small trucks were small? I remember. My 2008 Tacoma (which used to be a small truck) seems about the same size as a 90s model Silverado.
I remember the late 90s Tacomas and S10s. I want them back.
But, I do think we hit critical mass because newer ones seem to be shrinking again... I think.
Yeah, I've seen people claim they stopped making them because they didn't sell but when I was in high school half the students had one of one sort or the other and then working at various auto shops afterwards they were at least as common as full size trucks if not more so. People stopped buying them because they stopped making them.
