Demand remains strong with 10,000 pre-orders, and the vehicle offers extensive DIY customization and a comfortable, quiet ride, yet its bare-bones interior and app-centric data approach, plus potential total ownership costs, make buyers weigh cost and personalization against the affordability appeal.
