Looking forward to seeing you in a Zac Rios video someday!

Does EV cruise control apply brake to slow down or only regen? Hopefully it won't be riding the brake the entire time down a mountain.

I've enjoyed a few videos from the YouTube channel Aging Wheels. He has all sorts of vehicles, many from companies that are no more, weird titles, cars that seem hardly more than prototypes (those foam Spira cars come to mind), etc. I'm assuming that because he's uploading footage of himself...

Nothing really to disagree with here, but I'm cheap and don't want to pay insurance and registration on multiple vehicles, so if/when I get a Slate Truck it'd be replacing my current vehicle. Whatever I get needs to handle it all, but relative to need. I think this could still be fine for the...

Sounds right, but I'm not too worried about short trips due to home charging.

The main reason I wouldn't want the SUV or cargo conversion is loss of range due to extra weight and a potential loss of aerodynamics. Seems to me that such conversions would best be paired with a higher battery capacity too, which would make them even more expensive. Perhaps a used EV crossover...

Could one charge a dead 12V battery with V2L? Or would activation of V2L itself require the 12V battery?

That's not a pizza topping that I've tried...

I know about Kenda because the stock tires on my Aventon e-bike are Kenda Kwick Seven.5 Sport (27.5x2.20). They have an E50 rating, which means that they are designed to be optimal for speeds up to 50 kph (31 mph), compared to 25 kph (E25). There are a lot of complaints in bike forums about...

Nice catch! My AI detector also started going off when I was trying to figure out what that was on the wall at the top of the photo. It didn't look right for a shutter. It almost looks like a printed art canvas like you'd see on an office wall. Then the brick just seemed way too neat and tidy...

Especially the passenger seat, which I'd move forward to make room, if needed. Mini toolbox, straps, ribbons to tie on loads, donut, jacket/gloves/beanie, sunblock, water & granola bars. Hah, I won't need a jump start!

Apologies, but what does the phrase "30 Day RSV to Order Window" mean?

After watching the Technology Connections road trip videos, I hope we can just activate or deactivate this easily inside the truck rather than it being tied to navigation.

Even with factory pickup unavailable, embarking on some kind of lower impact journey to pick up the Slate does sound fun, whether that's walking, biking, bus or train.
