Yeah I almost bought one of these gas ones before. I didn't want to deal with the mechanical issues. I had a full time mechanic on staff years ago for all my vehicles and with EVs no longer have that expense. I installed a DC Super Charger at home to charge vehicles up faster. I like pickups...

I do have more faith in them than in Tesla. To me Tesla represents money grubbers instead of saving the environment and providing a much needed service to the people. I am a fan of Slate and really hope God gives them the ingenuity to really upend the EV market. But my hope is with them...

When slate was announced it was up my alley, a small daily driver that had 3d printable parts. I liked most of it except not having automatic window motors. I haven't seen hand cranks since pre 1980 cars. I liked the idea of using my phone or wish they would put a larger screen to mirror my...

These are also going under $30k new but I am not a fan: Living With A Chevy Brightdrop 400! | The Van Of The Future! My dream vehicle is an EV Camper Van that I can use as a mobile home and travel the country when I have time. Unfortunately, that market isn't being addressed and people have to...

I just like the open source nature of his idea AND Japanese Kei Trucks. I have always wanted one which led me to Slate as it was being modeled after a small Toyota Truck (always been a super fan of Toyota hilanders). I keep searching for EV Trucks that can take a real beating for work...

Ford is selling new E-Transit Vans for $30k, I bought one last year for $25k. This year going to buy Promaster EV under $20k (hoping for $15k). EV prices are declining with 1 million used ev's coming back to market from lease and not enough demand. I do want newer and better EVs and willing...

The Ford Lighting is Dead. I will wait to see how far this will tow.

For me I prefer Vans over pickups, I fully understand that people who prefer pickups will prefer Slate. From autotrader, all new:

New 2024 RAM Promaster EVs are going for less than $20k (currently $70k discount) now in 2025, cheaper than slate with more range and alot more features. I signed up with Slate as I felt they were going for under $25k vs $90k for Ford/Mercedes/Ram Vans. I like commercial EV Vans under $20k...

I cancelled my slate deposit and looking forward to this instead. I like commercial electric vehicles over consumer grade so it was a no brainer for me. I totally understand how someone else would feel the opposite with slate being better for consumer perspective especially with all the 3d...
