Take a car with an internal combustion engine and replace everything that is needed for an electric car. Now you have a no-nonsense car.

Instead, we have a rolling data center that feels like a smartphone.

      I know what you mean but it’s hard to believe.

      However it’s easier to believe

      1. A huge part of the us want a truck, even if they’d be better served by other vehicle types
      2. When the goal is being modular, you can turn a truck into an suv, but not vice versa

        Yeah I want an EV version the Bronco boom of the 70s. We got the Blazer and Scout too.

        Or the Matra Rancho if you’re from France.

        Hopefully a hot hatch revival can follow once the public gets a taste for simple cheaper EVs.

        Probably the auto market has to fully collapse first though. And China is going to pick up tie pieces.
