The best daily transportation isn’t a car/truck at all, but there is still some need for freight/hauling to be done.

I’m posting because this truck feels like the opposite of modern trucks. I mean the CyberTruck (literally the icon of Cyberpunk dystopia) and other trucks like Rivian are:

  • extremely anti-right to repair
  • brag about their 0-60 (instead of practicality/efficiency)
  • a privacy nightmare
  • massive in size
  • have high prices across the board
  • are absolutely crammed with manadory luxury features like air conditioned seats or motorized trunks

This truck, with manual roll-up windows, seems to be about getting work done. Its not trying to be the biggest baddest fastest most-techo-advanced thing money can buy.

I bet, in less than 1 year, hobbyists will have solar panel array mounted on the back of these.

    (1) Only minor involvement from what I can see.

    (2) A broken clock is right twice a day. So long as the car doesn’t require a Facebook account, I’m happy.

      That’s a pretty good summary of my criteria for my next car purchase…
