Most people don't like change so are resistant to it. It's the same with electric cars a lot of people are resistant to it because of false range anxiety but when people actually use ev for extended period most of then stay with electric.
Could be they don't want devices to have latest Android before their own latest flagship devices are released. They might release the AOSP in Aug when the new Pixel hardware drops.
When you say that they dont want the latest android before their own flagship devices are released, do you mean people running AOSP before the new pixel releases with it or other phone manufacturers/carriers beating them to releasing it?
If the second one, that seems a bit unlikely. Atleast here, I don't think I've seen a carrier that delivers an updated android without taking a long time first - iirc this was part of the reason google made it possible to split out security updates and such, to kind of work around that
I could understand if they had made such a car 20-30 years from now when gas cars will mostly be gone. Today why would anyone buy this if they want real fast electric they can a Tesla and if the want a muscle car they can get a ice muscle car
Hate the design of the Teslas. Also: Elon. Done my time in the trenches fixing ICE engines. Like the design of modern muscle cars. Would definitely be tempted by one of these. Easy mid-life crisis car: low maintenance, goes zoom zoom, looks tough, has AC and nice stereo.
It won't majority of the people are not car or driving enthusiasts they just want a vehicle to get from A to B. And even car enthusiasts are more into classic cars and sports cars.
A large part of it was oil and keeping control on oil prices. People seem to forget that without the discovery of cheap way of fracking US would have required large amounts of oil to keep its economy growing and any kind of power in the region that could disrupt its oil supply had to be removed.
