    I think legally, you’d have to have some information dashboard for speed and some errors, depending on your country, but I love the idea too. Bare bones as legally possible with heat and ac sounds perfect to be honest.

      Could do something like this, modular tablet that can be easily replaced, extremely cheap, and may not even need to be proprietary.

        Even some kind of analog instruments would be interesting. Have one for speed and another for any error codes. Would be different and fot the style pretty well.

          I hear that, but I think it would add more complexity and proprietary nature to it. By using a tablet we can easily display whatever we need even then deepest diagnostics of the vehicle. With an analog speed dial all it would do is just display speed, and need to be proprietary due to the shape and fitting, which all increases costs and complexity.

            That makes sense. I like the smaller screen compared to some of the huge displays some manufacturers have.

        Yeah, that looks nice. I wonder if a bench seat would look nice. Actually having the ability to completely remove that passenger seat would have more utility.

          The thing about the cab over design is the wheel sits near below the seats. This is an idea of what it would look like without the passenger seat.

            Yeah, I like that. Could even have add-ons for that seat so if you needed aome kind of storage space, maybe a custom basket or similar could be offered.

              Maybe even interchangeable seat/basket option, you could slide one out and insert the other easily.
