Re: What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

Carlos,

That sounds like the manufacturer just made its cars in a limited set of
colors (as it always did), and you could choose which add-ons you wanted
to have bolted on.   With that last part likely been done by the dealer.

No, I suspect it was done by the manufacturer.

Also possible, just less likely in *my* mind. :-)

Other customizations affected the pilar with the radio and controllers,
air conditioning or not or climatization... big things that need a bid
disassembly-assembly job if done at the dealer.

Hmmm... now I'm imagining a manufacturing plant with cars on their rails
being switched in-and-out of the main branch, for their individual
customisations to be added.

It probably works different though (workers having to wait, doing nothing,
on the next customisation coming along their line ? That would be a loss of
manhours).

However, they did not customize the manual book, which was a mess with all
options (go to page X if you have or not have option Y). They could easily
print a customized book with latex.

Odd : they want to make you feel like a valued customer, but than make it
complicated to make your choices.  Almost as if two, each other opposing
parties within the same company are in play ...

I imagine they could also have made a website for it, and have all those "if
you choose X you have to go to page Y" things applied automatically - and
printout/save/send to the dealer/manufacturer on the press of the "if the
information on this page looks allright than press 'OK' " button.

I might be looking at it too easy though. :-)

But they print it with latex ?  Would using ink not be a lot easier ?  (no,
don't answer that, I know what you ment :-p )
