Car dependency is a dead end for humanity regardless of what shit-boxes they manufacture.

This is actually pretty cool and makes sense. Can’t wait to see what the 3D printer community does with this if the dash can be customized with accessories. Anyone know when a test drive would be covered?

Something like this I imagine I'd be happy with. A sedan/crossover and this. Wouldn't take it out the county. Just trips to hardware/gardening stores and moving furniture. More than enough range and speed to go to work too. Any long drive I'd probably get an Accord hybrid or something. 2 vehicle family

Is this a $20k kit car or a $20k truck that they build for you?

One thing that makes me nervous is that there are so many screws exposed. It seems like it would be really easy for thieves to just walk up with a hex key and steal your bumper or panels.... 🤔
