it seems like Slate might be trying that but there's no real cars from them yet so they're just renders at this point. but yes, same concept but printers is my wish.

They have plenty of running/driving mules out there already:

Yes but not a pickup please

[oofbey]

Pickups are a fine place to start. If they’re successful they’ll add other kinds of cars over time. Building a whole new car company is extremely risky. Picking the first model correctly is extremely important. I hope they got it right. My gut says plenty of reasons to think they did.

pickup culture sucking the life out of our car industry. give me real cars

[calmworm]

But they have merch! Hats, apparel!

[pythonaut_16]

Why are you mad that they're trying to build brand recognition?

I get there's been plenty of vaporware cars in the past but by all signs Slate is making real progress towards delivering actual vehicles.

Who’s mad? Merely a joke. I’m looking forward to the Slate truck.
