"Accessory ecosystem" oh okay it's "cheap" so they can nickel and dime you on that bullshit

I don't see how this is a bad thing

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't see how being sold a phone for like 200 but then all the accessories are jacked up to compensate as a bad thing? Enjoy your 50 dollar chargers and 100 dollar cables

Someone said Bezos is funding this shit. You really think it's not going to be predatory? They're going to skimp on shit just to overcharge on anything you might want to upgrade it with

The Chinese would never

It is pretty beneficial to have cheap versions available even if they are shitty

A Kei Truck with American characteristics. I have no doubt that the accessories will be horribly overpriced, but the base truck is pretty much exactly what I would want in a truck if I bought one.

I saw an ad I think for this the other day, and yeah, assuming it actually comes out, and works, and doesn't burn you to death, and doesn't raise its price because of feature creep or whatever, cool

I especially like the built in phone holder, double so if it’ll to speakers. I already have a powerful infotainment system in my phone, why do I need a shittier one taking up space in the dashboard?

Check out the Telo MT1. Competent Yank engineers? Shocking but true.

This thing seems like a fantasy. I'd totally buy one. It just doesn't seem real.

technical The only truck I roll with.
