Why I hate the MVP car

Dave Rupert:

You’ve already sold the idea in PowerPoints and Figma without technical constraints and now they signed-off on it. We’re a car company, does anyone here even know how to make good UI a skateboard? Can we even source wood? There’s now downward pressure to deliver on a predetermined timeline and no opportunity to pivot to a rickshaw or a tuk-tuk instead of a car because any divergence is a mission failure.

Reading this you get the sense that this is a man who has seen some shit. I’ve not seen anyone try to pivot to a rickshaw or tuk-tuk, but Dave perfectly captures the debacle of corporate product development.
