Gregory's Serveras one having owned a Trabant some decades ago I can tell you it's conceptually exactly what one would want when combining indivdualist transit for the whole population and some efficiency in production and maintenance: it didn't waste fuel on mass, was *completely* self-serviceable and could fit the transport needs of a small family. (fuel efficiency was only okay when regarding the simplicity of the engine)

 @kami_kadse @chu I did in fact list it as such in the documentation of said Project / Concept...  |
@kami_kadse @chu Shure, also its scarcity forced the #GDR to maintain #PublicTransport networks as a necessary utility...
Also yeah, the Trabant with it's low compression two-stroke just works by virtue of being for the most part 1950s motorcycle tech just with doible the wheels and a plastic cabin and steel tubing around...
In fact, if it wasn't a regular 2+2 car, I'd consider it a #PersonalLightVehicle by virtue of being engineered to simplicity.
