Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

I'm a Boomer. I can read and navigate using paper maps!

Yep! If we start seeing Slate ads on Fox News prime time, right after the life alert commercial, we will know who Slate is targeting

Now that would be a mark of impending success

I dunno, I think Slate would appeal to the prepper and doomsday demographic a lot more.

As an amateur prepper I can say you are correct haha

Really? I would think electric, and the short range would be counterintuitive to prepper mindset. Interesting to hear!

IANAP, but with solar charging you could achieve Personal Energy Independence and prepare for disappearance of fuel sources.

Wouldn’t a prepper puta small PV panel and expect 1000 mile range? 😁

As AZFox said it's about not being reliant on fuel. We have ample solar/battery (to be in independent of the grid). And the short range isn't a hindrance because you won't want to stray far from your "home base" which is our ranch. "Bugging out" would be a last resort and we would take our Mazda CX-90 with a trailer.

Is it still true that you can run cars on moonshine? That seems like a great prepper strategy!

Makes sense. I was thinking an evac situation, not a hunker down situation

Makes me chuckle a bit. Here our concerns are earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and to some extent fire. We have friends on the CERT team. They consider our house the emergency place to go if others need to bug out. Being totally off grid, we are self sufficient but don’t have my own ham radio, neighbors do. Hmmmm, maybe I should invest into a charging station. 😁

You live on a volcano in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and you are worried about a doomsday event? Just sayin'

Nope, not really
Kinda amazing, hear on the news like the recent Texas flooding, recent tornadoes, wild fires, etc and Thank God. We are blessed.

Could go with a dedicated automotive grade tablet. Police are using these for the most part and squad cars mostly sit in the sun with no cabin overheat protection between shifts.
