The simplicity of the Slate interior is fantastic. They developed a screenless touch screen that you can rotate without even looking at them. I wish I were in the market for this type of vehicle.

The sad thing is ‘smartphone on wheels’ is a slur.
Smartphones don’t have to be soulless and uniform and enshittified, but here we are.

Yeah, that is so perfect.
Imagine a sedan or hatchback. It would be light as a feather and still feel spacious being so ‘clean’ inside.

Kind of disappointing Bezos is involved though.

I view it as a net positive if Amazon wants them for EV delivery. A substantial guaranteed customer is huge.
