  • I love the concept. Cutting down on all the unnecessary extra weight of a car when most trips are single passenger anyway.

    But most customers and manufacturers see them a lot differently. Meant for thrill seekers, speed chasers, and projecting more obnoxious masculinity. They need to be loud, smoky, and dangerously fast. They should have been first in line for electrification but instead they’re lagging behind cars.


















  • Right, it’s a new technology, its usage is being curated. Even once they release a publicly accessible application, it’ll be like going to the hammer renting store, you get to go there and use a hammer, for a fee sometimes, you cant bring the hammer home or own it, they regulate what you can work on with it, it can be overused and inaccessible while demand is high, they can discontinue access when they want.

    And they can and do give more access to wealthier clients.
