By the time the government gets it weighed down with all the required safety stuff, it won’t be cheap and it won’t be lightweight.
It looks like a Ford Bronco Mini-Me.
Be kinda cool if the hardtop would come off.
That’s an expensive golf cart!
I guess it would sell some among the two-seater buyers. But that’s assuming it stays at $20K. Most of the times a new car is showcased before it comes to market, by the time it comes to market the real starting price is much higher than the one touted in the months of teaser ads.
I understand the spontaneous fires are much smaller . . .
Looks like a Tonka.
Maybe get Hanoi Jane as the national spokesperson?
IOW, not a chance in hell.
It probably does........but not intentionally.................

Electric vehicle fires are rare—the risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher, says researcher
Australian firm EV FireSafe tracks passenger electric vehicle battery fires worldwide. From 2010 to June 2023, its database records only 393 verified fires globally, out of some 30 million electric vehicles on the road.
Australia recorded only four electric vehicle battery fires over the same period. One was linked to arson. The other three vehicles were parked in structures that burned down and destroyed the vehicles. So it appears these fires didn’t start in the batteries.

Well, it ships out of the Gulf of Tonka, right?
save on funeral costs, when you get ran over by an 18 wheeler, you can be put in the ground in it.
If our social-engineering Fed.gov eliminated its various woke/prog mandates, US companies (unlikely it would be legacy producers Ford or GM) would produce cheap, safe and highly efficient cars that lasted for hundreds of thousands of miles.
I just got a renewal on my Driver’s License for 5 years. I will be 90, when my current license retires.
We are down to one car. My wife’s 20 year old Lexus, and it still runs great for the minimal driving we do.
If it dies, and there is no available good used vehicle from family, friends or neighbors to buy.
This might be a good option.

I’d need to see the NHTSA crash test videos first. The first gen of Chinese vehicles were LAUGHABLY bad.
For trips to the store, this might be perfect. (No freeways, etc.)

should be fun to drive this toy, which has a wheelbase smaller than a sheet of plywood, on the Interstate at 85mph!
