Well, yeah. Just look at it. Why would anyone make that?
Honestly, if looks were its only problem, I think you'd have a lot more people looking to buy one. I actually really like the way it looks. What I don't like is the fact that it's a poorly-constructed approximation of a truck that's made by a company owned by a literal Nazi.
Musk owns less than 13% of Tesla. He's the largest, but by no means majority shareholder.
I think you meant to say It's made by a company run by a literal Nazi.
I'm also not a fan of the fact that, like all Teslas (if not all new cars in general) it's full of proprietary spyware with bad UX and assorted enshittification. That's the thing that stopped me from being interested in Teslas from the very beginning, even before Musk came out as a Nazi.
Can I please buy a car that's not smart? I don't need my car spying on me.
Yes: you can buy a used car. That's my strategy, anyway: I'm hoarding cars from the '90s. 🙃
moped car is the closest i know of, and honestly a big part of why there's no smart stuff is because they're built so cheaply
