See if they're available, I bet you'll get one or two back real quick.

How tall/big are you? It makes a difference.
What style bike do you like?
Outdated advice (unless buying older stuff) Brother has enshittified like the rest.
They physically print the disks, so each one from a print line is the same. It would be too expensive to dynamically print every single disk uniquely.
Additionally, there would be no way for a printed disk to be tracked to a specific sale. We just don't have that level of granularity in our sales. Best Buy scans the UPC barcode of a disk to sell it to you, they don't track the specific serial number of each disk to know that you bought which one.
Great point, I should expect that when I pay $60,000+ for a vehicle, I'll need to rent a different vehicle for when I want to go somewhere.
The fact that there's a back would mean that the chair is pushed slightly forward of the others in the group, and therefore awkward to turn and chat with.
Probably one of those early types of "great replacement" racism things.
Historically, auto companies have had two paths to success.
1 - Build dirt cheap, crappy cars and sell zillions of them, and slowly make them better as the initial crappy reputation evolves into a good car for a good price. (i.e. - Toyota)
2 - Build super expensive luxury cars and slowly make them cheaper so people view your brand as high end even though the cheaper ones aren't as good as the old expensive luxury ones. (i.e. - BMW)
Seems like all the EV makers are looking at option 2 and there's tons of room in the market for option 1.
A van would be a road trip vehicle, not a city driver. I don't understand why the range is so short. If this was a 350+ mile van, with an 800v battery that supported the 200+Kw NACS tesla charge plug, I would probably buy it. Even with it being as expensive as it is.
That being said, it would be great if it could hit all those numbers and still be less than $40k. It would probably sell like hotcakes with those specs.
Of course there's the other complaints too, like too much tech in the dashboard, not enough buttons. In the end, it's too much sizzle, not enough steak.
Back in the before times, pre-trump, Michelle Obama pushed for staying on a positive message even if the R's were going hard on the negative campaigning.
Her more recent speech at the DNC was more aggressive.

It's not about stopping the door from swinging, it's about stopping the handle from turning.
That being said, they could probably have just turned the handle up instead of down.
Of course I know people who would absolutely just try pushing down a couple times, give up, and call maintenance.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are more of a brand than a bike, so they're not known for being reliable or comfortable to ride compared to a lot of other bikes. That being said, they're perfectly fine if that's what you want, and you understand that you'll have a higher likelihood of something like a persistent oil leak, or annoying electrical issue.
The local motorcycle school by us uses Yamaha dual sport bikes for taller riders, they're pretty inexpensive compared to other bikes, they can take a beating, and they're pretty easy to buy and sell used.
I have a tall buddy that got a Honda NC700X as his first bike and he's been riding it for years on pretty long road trips. It has an automatic transmission and ABS brakes, so compared to a lot of bikes, it has a surprising amount of safety features.
Of course, get what you like. The old saying is it's better to buy a bike you'll grow out of, then to buy a bike you'll grow into.
