A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Made by and for douchebags. Honestly if they actually wanted to make a little truck that was an EV I would have been all over it. Just something small to haul some dirt or lumber for home projects. I don't want a giant f150, I want some danger ranger size or smaller for light projects. I think that could have been very popular.
Heard about the Slate Truck?

Telo truck looks promising and has some ex original Tesla talent.
If it turns out to be real, that would be the easiest buy I've ever had with a car. But with a design supposedly about practicality, why do they have to go with the iPad car controls? Hopefully that trend dies out soon and we can have buttons again.
I can't see myself spending money on anything beyond a smartphone with a touchscreen for everything, and seeing it in this makes me more skeptical about the product as a whole.
Touchscreen controls so if/when something goes wrong with the software that controls it, Only they can service it instead of the owner of the vehicle.
Yeah, that is the worst thing about modern cars. They just produced their first fully drivable prototype, so I am cautiously optimistic.
