AudoWeek published an article about about the slush test and more. Good publicity. 👍 Slate Truck Passes Slush Test, On Track for Q4 Debut Bare-bones model is still supposed to be in 'mid-$20,000' range.

All the better for Slate Auto if that happens. The decision to use composite body panels was a good one for a lot of reasons, including profitability from selling Wrap Kits.

Sure it is. Here's one example, plucked pretty much at random. It the rhetorical discourse this is called a red red herring. It's deliberately not about the topic of "what would the Marketplace site be like?". Here's another one. Thread pollution. The most recent one is a straw man...

Butthurt much? If calling out trolling behavior is "suppressing others opinions", then I suppose so.

Too late. 😉

Based on looking into it a bit, IMHO sodium will predominate in the future. There are lots of reasons.

I think between the two, reducing range would be more likely than adding weight and reducing load capacity. Maybe LFP could be a third battery option rather than a replacement for the standard NMC battery.
