Only if you eject the warp core

Pfft, my chariot is better, at least I think so.
As a person with mobility issues, my soon to be ordered (in the next week) power wheelchair will have:
- 8.5 MPH / 13.6 KPH top speed. (The fastest production power wheelchair currently made that Medicare will cover, as far as I know)
- A rehab seat with custom sized cushions, swappable between foam, gel, and air cushions.
- A seat that can tilt, with a back that can independently recline, a seat elevator, and legrests that can independently articulate.
- LED headlights and LED turn signals.
- Lithium-ion batteries. (Most still use deep-cycle lead acid)
- Rear view camera system.
- Flat-free tires that are larger and more capable than this VW one-off experimental art piece. Not quite off-road ready, but definitely usable outdoors in the city.
- USB PD charging ports for accessories.
- Tablet mount, and cupholder.
To be specific, insurance is covering only the base version with medically necessary modifications. I am self-paying for all of the upgraded gear on it, which is substantial.
I may also add an automotive heat and massage seat thingamajig, and RGB fun/mood lighting.

Wasn't that the whole argument behind the Nemesis dune buggy scene?

When you press forward, one random window will roll up, the seatbelt alarm starts chirping and the seat heat randomly turns on like any standard VW

A matter of "when", not "if".

I was hoping for a pike chair, and you just respond in beeps.
