I'd buy that truck over a Slate.
I was super excited for Slate during the two minute video I saw about it..
Then I found out it was an Amazon truck.
Something like that would cut down a bunch on waste due to used markets for the vehicle and attachments, but jumping into an Amazon properiyory vehicle system is ridiculously dumb.
You're at their mercy.
That and it comes with NOTHING. No radio, no speakers, no paint, no rims, no automatic windows.
No built-in unreplaceable head unit with bloatware or spyware or un-updatable software, no cell network or WiFi connection, no user tracking and snitching.
The lack of a built-in entertainment system computer is a good thing.
