The original comment put forth: >no onboard computers other than simple microcontrollers for the various systems (charging, etc.), no streaming wifi / GPS data collection, and no need for software updates You are talking about a vehicle with no onboard SATNAV, no Carplay/Android Auto, no telematic roadside assistance. The Ford Maverick has all these things. My claim isn't that small trucks don't sell, my claim is that a car that doesn't even support Bluetooth audio wouldn't sell.
