People have gone on bus tours to the national parks to road trip by bus in the USA

@Tim The Terrible 777 Doesn't mean it would be popular here. Cars is more popular here then coaches.

It would be interesting to see a Tesla pack

No thank you, keep that company as FAR AWAY from this game as possible, i don't want the kind of fanatics that brand usually brings around here.

Tesla’s are so much fun, and they are super interesting cars and really fast, plus they are a huge US car brand and our first car technical breakthrough of the 2000’s era

Tesla sux.

Ah. The above-mentioned fanatics.

And no, i'm not totally against EV's, but if one brand had to be added to the game i rather it be Rivian, Lucid, or heck, even the EV Hyundai's, anything but the T.

Don't forget the leader. When the weather is fine, he might decide to buy SCS Software and rebrand the games as "American Tesla Simulator" and "European Tesla Simulator".

In my early high school year in early 2000’s, jeeps f150’s and the Silverado and Prius’s were big in the US, in the 2000’s in automotive history the Tesla model x changed everything we saw with electric cars and now everything is basically a rav4 or bigger version of the rav4

The big problem I can see with adding buses to ATS is that the main bus stations of a lot of cities are right in or near the city centers, where there might not be room to add them in the game. Some cities wouldn't be too difficult (we already have Reno's bus station, for example), but some would have to be redesigned. Of course, this only applies to intercity/state bus lines, like Greyhound; coaches for tours and charters don't have to stop at those stations, and could work well in ATS. Cars are more popular, but buses offer different gameplay dynamics and styles, which is evidently what people want when it comes to non-truck vehicles.

I wouldn't be a fan of a Tesla pack either. It's not for political reasons (I'm not touching anything about modern American politics with a 5280 ft. pole), I just think Teslas are kind of boring-looking (especially on the inside), and the Cybertruck is a meme car. As far as electric vehicles go, I like Rivian more; at least their pickup actually looks good, and from what I hear it's much more practical and durable than Cybertruck 2077.

Yeah, I hate the takeover of crossovers in American cars. I really hope no Road Trip pack ever includes a crossover, but I'm sure some manufacturer will want their latest generic blob-car as a condition for featuring something actually good.
