    I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.

    Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.

    If I had Mark Cuban money, it’s the first thing I would do.

      The Slate truck looks interesting and is exactly what you describe. Time will tell if it pans out.

        It’s not quite what I’m saying, but it’s a starting point. It also isn’t really a thing yet. They’re expected to be available in 2027, so with EV incentives being eliminated, the now $27,500 basic model is already 30%+ more expensive before even appearing IRL.
