Like for real, just give people #AffordableMobility...
Since we won't do on-demand #minibus services into every village because "#PublicTransport = bad" and #NIMBYs, at least give us like a #CabinScooter aka. a #Scooter that one can legally drive without having to wear a #helmet (#seatbelts are better anyway!), protect the driver and passengers from the weather (to make it all-season - capable) and have at least 3 wheels so it can't fall over...
Like I don't even want a faithful recreation or a €111k #GermanEngineering #shitpost. I'd be fine with a *reliable #TukTuk of italian or whatever origin.
Seriously: People for the most part just want to get from point A to point B cheaply, reliably and reasonably fast regardless of weather!
If I didn't need a #car for #WageWork I'd not spend ~ €2.150 p.a. just for the dubious "privilegue" of being legally allowed to drive it: And that's just insurance, tax, tech inspection and maintenance - that's not accounting for any down-payment or fuel or parking costs!
In fact, I'd rather love to have a #CabinScooter instead but sadly there ain't any in production...

@AdrianVolt @tikibunnyimports @growdene personally I do suggest to look at "#CabinScooter" like designs that reduce the footprint even if those ain't legally cars as a compromise between the comfort and safety of a car and the space efficjency of motorcycles and bikes.
It won't do 0-60 on a dragstrip, but it'll 1-3 people from one place to another dry and cheaply...

@threetails personally, I'd rather want to build a more sleek and efficient car that takes design lessions from fighter jets and uses some cool non-distorting canopy instead of windows...
Admit it: People only buy cars because they need them as tools or because they like the one they chose...
Maybe do some fancy Methanol Fuelcell thingy and make it go swoosh!
Like a #CabinScooter:

@Bellingen I mean, Iknow why we can't bring back the original #Kabinenroller [#CabinScooter] as originally designed...
But we shure as hell should incentivize vehicles like the #Ape - even as #electric [maybe #Methanol-#Fuelcell to avoid costly and inefficient "#FastCharging" and allow a easy drop-in replacement setup in lieu of #combustion engines]...
