It seems a lot of the items trend toward "cute", and not much "functionality". For instance, a drawing of Pennywise from it, but only the Tesla Semi.
If they got a full suite of transport models I would definitely get a subscription, at least for a month.
But, I'm probably just going to use use sketchup or blender to generate my own suite of measured assets for my use. They won't be nearly as beautiful.
But if they go more functional I can see this being as useful as The Noun Project for assets: https://thenounproject.com/

Not only are those unfavorable terms, but they're badly drafted. "Cannot be resold are marketed"? "May not use ... on items for resale" would seem to imply that you can't make the object modeled. Also, the site does not give the name and address of the business even though they accept credit cards, which is illegal in California and the EU.
