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.

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.
