What is up with those pickup trucks anyway? Why do so many people in the U.S. (and elsewhere) buy them?

Everything that you put in the back is subjected to weather and one of first additions people buy is a cover.

Compare that to a mini bus or transporter, you can transport as much or more than with a pickup truck, protected from weather, and you can add or remove chairs, if you need to transport people.

If you have a transporter, you can also much easier furnish the inside with racks etc, to improve space use.

Everyone seems to hate this thing based on marketing but I actually kind of liked the looks of it, sigh.

At least tell me there’s a DIN slot in the dashboard. As long as I can connect my phone via Bluetooth I’m good.

Elon now bezo. Noice

Where’s the bullet point for Bezos? Hard pass if that shit bag is involved in anyway.

Cool but now I’m worried this is being spammed everywhere. New capitalism marketing at foot?

150kWatt and a top speed of 145? That's kind of insane?

Wait a minute, mph not km/h I guess.

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

Very interesting, but please give me power windows and a dumb infotainment unit that does Android Auto/CarPlay. No Internet connection. No integration with the rest of the car.
