This is my ideal build: https://www.slate.auto/share/5VXBMW

I could barely make it out, but the tires on this build here are 255/70R17, which are effectively 31" tires. Great size. I was just talking to my wife last night about how I'd absolutely DD an older Jeep Cherokee XJ, slightly lifted on 31s (I used to have a 1998 XJ just like that), but the fuel economy would be abysmal at best. This thing, however, optioned with the big battery, would cost me roughly $10 at most to charge from empty to full, which is really nice.

The lack of AWD is a bummer, but not entirely a deal-breaker. I'd absolutely rock this little thing on some of the local 4WD trails.

It's smaller than the Hyundai Santa Cruz; my dad has one of those, and it's not very big (smaller than a Ranger).

This truck is positively tiny.

I want one.

Luckily you can add a hardtop and seats (and airbags!) to the rear to make it into an SUV. Appears to be a modular design.

I would seriously consider this little thing if 1) it actually happens at that price point and 2) retains this modular design (lmao)

Though I would prefer an AWD option. I do like to take my vehicles off-road...

Speakers are optional. I built one on their site. Speakers are available.

I can see 10-20GB/month for a single person being fairly reasonable if they steam music or something a lot while out and about.

Which a lot of people do. And videos. And play games.

My household usage is well over 2TB/mo. It's not unrealistic to expect individual usage to be fairly high outside of the house.

Because they can. I have the same gripe.

My wife prefers her Macs. She's got the infamous A1706 MacBook Pro (I've already had to fix a few things on it), and a 27" iMac from the last run of Intel based machines.

But she does recognize the walled garden for what it is, and her seeing me effectively make my machines do what I want is making her want an Android phone 😅

So glad I built my 5800X3D/7900XTX system when I did. It's got plenty of horsepower for the next several years for my usage.

Seriously. This dude is delusional.

The law firm going after Tesla for this offered to represent him via a class action, and this idiot has the gall to ask the law firm for payment?

The world would be better off if his Tesla self-drove itself into a wall. Ideally with him inside.
