This has potential to be either amazing or fail spectacularly.<p>A 20k Electric SUV or Pickup truck with such customisation, and made in USA? I can definitely see how this could become the new Toyota Hilux.

Much better visualization of personalization options compared to other websites. Am genuinely excited. It&#x27;s like Project Ara was for smartphones, except on phones there&#x27;s inherently limited space to allow for personalization, and wasting a bit of space significantly trades off battery life. A car or truck has oodles of space.<p>Neat idea around removable (I think?) plastic panels that&#x27;re the same color all the way thru. Cheap to manufacture, dent resistant and DIY vinyl wrappable.

The idea of focusing on a single car &quot;framework&quot; from which you can create many variations seems great. I personally really like the design too.
