    I am so skeptical… why on earth would the parasite class (bezos and friends) want to empower people?

      i dont think he has anything to do with the company, he just funded them hoping for a return. the broker people are, the more they need a cheap car with cheap operating costs. thats the gamble i suspect.

        Yes, because the wealthiest people in the world concern themselves with a potential return equivalent of your pocket change.

        The investment, the game, is having a say and a new dollhouse to play with. Because the ghouls are bored.

        To the bigger focus of the post, not paying above $18k for the stripped down tin can. Many differences, but Mexico’s go kart is targeting about $8k. Slate can do much better.

          Mexico’s “go kart” has a top speed of 31 mph and a range “up to” 62 miles … at 31 mph. It’s an electric UTV with a nicer passenger compartment.

          They’re not really comparable.
