We knew this day was coming. She does seem to be pretty thorough but I'm going out with the wife tonight so I'll leave it up to you guys to see if there's anything new and noteworthy.

I quickly scrubbed through the video and there's nothing that we don't already know. It's your typical superficial youtube influencer fluff that don't go beyond existing articles and headlines about the truck. I think the only youtube groups that provides substance about trucks are TFL and the oddball super enthusiast or two.

Pretty much none of these videos are going to have anything we don't already know. The only ones that might are the ones where there is a new interview with someone at slate. Slate just isn't giving out new inside info to these content creators. Info might be new to people new to slate, who these are targeted at, but because we are mining anything that comes out for info, none of it is new to us.

I'm waiting for an influencer headline "Slate Truck Cures Cancer".

Although at least her headline didn't read "Vehicle XYZ: Everything We Know". I have a personal rule anytime I see a story headline like that. I know that what they know is exactly nothing.

Love your optimism...and you're not wrong.
