That thing looks dumb as fuck.

Most of it is dumb. The push button doors, the motorized tonneau cover, the rearview mirror replaced with a camera on the dash screen, the shift selector being where the rearview mirror should be, ugly ass hubcaps, the stainless steel body panels, the uneven body panels gaps, the sharp corners, the stupid steering wheel, and the last of a spare wheel. All for $100k!

A dude down the street (in a duplex, nonetheless) has one. It’s fucking gigantic. Dumb as hell looking.
