The modular eBussy is the Transformer minivan you've been waiting for

This post has created an ethical quandry for me... do I or do I not share it with my wife? This is pretty close to her dream car. Given the price, maybe she should get one.

>>20hp

I get that it has a lot of torque, but 20hp??? That seems like it might struggle with hills or loads and definitely with both together. That's less power than the motorcycle I had when I was 14

The offroad camper is cool. Weird interior layout.

It looks like ElectricBrands is privately held? Or did my Google search fail me? TSLA, NKLA and RV stocks are mooning. It would be criminal for them to not IPO. Where can I invest? Take my money!

One thing to realize is how *small* it is, so there's only so much to work with. The whole vehicle is only 364cm long.
