I think there is a market for cars as well.

15 years ago, Dacia used to make stripped sedans that sold for as cheap as 7.5k euros. It was a wild success. Now, they've pivoted to making modern cars, still on the cheap side, but the cheapest now is a compact car that sells for 13k.

The only reason is that those modern cars have higher margins and there is no competition for cheap cars. So why make cheap cars to kill the market of higher margins ones?

The free market, if it works at all, should produce companies like wheelfront that caters to that share of the population.

We need this for cars.

Next up, cars with no-tech! Bring them on.

We badly need right to repair for everything from tractors to iphones.

One minor gotcha is they're currently dependent upon a limited supply of remanufactured and no longer available (NLA) parts. Some supplier(s) is going to have step up and make new ones to keep building and supporting tractors. It's not an unsolvable problem.

For anyone who likes rural shop repair videos of farm (mostly older), passenger, and commercial vehicles of all makes and ages from ancient to modern, they might appreciate Watch Wes Work.

Good. Simplicity should win out over enshittification in the end.

Do they do cars?

> Pre-war EIA forecasts projected U.S. diesel prices would average $3.47/gallon in 2026. As of late March, the national average hit $5.37/gallon, roughly 55% above where it was expected to be.

Diesel prices will continue to rise so it's not clear what these farmers are actually signing up for.

I would have thought would be 2x price
