This is actually pretty cool and makes sense. Can’t wait to see what the 3D printer community does with this if the dash can be customized with accessories. Anyone know when a test drive would be covered?

One thing that makes me nervous is that there are so many screws exposed. It seems like it would be really easy for thieves to just walk up with a hex key and steal your bumper or panels.... 🤔
The panels are plastic, so while this is a concern, they probably wouldn't get much for them. Bumper I'm less sure about.
A buddy of mine got his Tacoma tailgate stolen in broad daylight during a kid's football game... I hope any really valuable parts are secured...
You can already theoretically do this with the doors on a Jeep, but it hasn't exactly turned into an epidemic.

Is this a $20k kit car or a $20k truck that they build for you?
