@greg_harvey@tooting.ch Oof, that sucks.
If someone would come up with something affordable shaped like https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/meet-gms-tiny-new-electric-ute-for-china I'd be happy.
It such a drag that 4x4s all have to be these luxury behemoths.
I just want an old skool Citroen C15 shaped 4x4 EV. Or a Suzuki Jimni sized one, you know?
Utilitarian, affordable, not marketed at showboating pricks...

@greg_harvey@tooting.ch I obviously don't understand anything about EV car manufacturing economics but it baffles me that they can't or won't come up with bare bones affordable but very utilitarian vehicles that, looking at the history of such things, will stay popular and resellable for 20 to 30 years to come.

@jpoesen@social.jpoesen.com One day... I like Slate, but they're Bezos backed. 😭 https://www.slate.auto/en
