FTA: "It’s fine if people want to call it a “glorified golf cart”, though I’m not sure I’ve seen a golf cart that can tow a boat, haul furniture, dump mulch, and that comes with creature comforts like air-conditioning, infotainment screen, power windows and locks, and a frunk."

> that can tow a boat

LOL, most golf carts could tow that tiny little boat.

It’s basically a quad with a cabin. That’s pretty clever and would be useful in limited cases like working a farm. Obviously an F-150 or whatnot can also leave the farm.

I don't think it's any smaller than a smart car, and people drive those around all the time. I'm not sure why this would be limited to a farm while an F-150 is not. I'm not sure the Datsun and Nissan trucks of the 80's were much bigger, and those saw plenty of use.

> I'm not sure the Datsun and Nissan trucks of the 80's were much bigger

For comparison, the smallest Datsun 720 was at least 1 to 2 feet larger in both length and width.

It’s going to be difficult getting far at a max speed of 25mph.

Yea, i've read it but the point still stands. And there's all sorts of tricked out golf carts available with most of those features. Being able to bounce around your own property is cool, and there's many types of small vehicles for that, but they're not something you compare to a road worthy vehicle.
