As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.
That said, I do not enjoy the new "everything is bigger" view on YouTube's home page that was clearly designed for mobile. But that can be fixed easily, so it's a non-issue.
I mean, that's my take. Also why you hear a lot of moaning and groaning from enthusiasts when a company who makes well-loved products decides to go public. Enshittification always occurs.
Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
Yeah, that's really the kicker, isn't it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.
It's a guaranteed death.
You make it sound like the CEO is a changed man. He's a shitbag through and through.
Because there is legal precedent that says shareholders come first.
You can blame Dodge for this. Yes, that Dodge.
This vehicle is clearly meant as an errand truck, not a roadtripper. It wasn't that long ago when base model work trucks didn't have a radio or speakers installed.
Quit getting pissy over something that doesn't even exist yet.
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.
Real shocker, right? ๐
