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.

Yall tend to forget that not everyone lives in cities (or even well developed cities), and not everyone wants to. Sure yeah your idea is good for those living in well developed cities and want to live in them. But those of us who don’t really do need to own a car. Public transport is not a one size fits all, and yall need to stop pretending like it is.
