I wasn't a first day guy, but was within a month of that - and I have no problem buying it without a drive, because... I have used pickups of all kinds all my life. They share the same sorts of driving characteristics due to their weight distribution and suspension design. Slate will be...

About what?

Which makes sense. This price they quote will have to be similar to the method other manufacturers' pricing schemes use, for an apple/apples comparison. But we already know that they don't have to support a dealer network, so that's a no-value-added cost they are getting rid of right there...

I think MOST of us are having a great time. I think ONE of us is not having a very good time.

Oh, I see. Now it's an Argument from Authority. Some internet dude says it, so it *must* be true. Keep flailing.

The Bolt isn't a pickup truck. For people who want a BEV pickup, what are the choices? As current speculation goes, the Slate will be the lowest-cost small pickup available in the U.S. The point is, that you can turn the Slate into a 2-door SUV for short money, and back into a pickup at the...

EXACTLY. There are plenty of us who want a pickup truck format for the stuff that pickups do, and don't want all the junk that most new vehicles have these days. I also don't want a sedan, and I DO want a BEV. That REALLY narrows down the choices. There are plenty of us that remember the...

You are, obviously. I currently own an F-150, and the Slate will be able to do EVERYTHING I use the F-150 for. AND it can be a BEV commuter. So, it can not only do Bolt work, it can also do Frontier work. See, I don't want a sedan or a coupe, because it's hard to take yard waste to the dump in...

Hmmm, it looks like you quoted the whole comment. So, I guess that *really* means "generally" and not "specifically." It's the doomsayers that want to lump all these vehicles in the same category. "Hey, there are existing vehicles that will get the job done." BEV pickup? Where? Simple, no...

A manufacturer should NOT be responsible for your poor use of their product. You can't make something idiot-proof, because as soon as you do that, you'll find that a better idiot has been created. A pocket knife that has a sharp edge? HEAVEN FORFEND! OMG, learn how to use the knife. If...

I didn't notice that the Nissan is a BEV. Nor is it simple. Nor, last I checked, can you easily turn it into an SUV. There are plenty of buyers out there who aren't interested in towing, or pretend to want to drive off-road, or drag around a lot of spare interior volume and extra seats for no...

Which is not how lawyers think.

Back to the Future version.

Getting AM stations over the internet via cell service seems to be a reasonable alternative. I have never needed AM radio for safety issues, since the screech of the Emergency Alert System ALSO works over FM. Sure rightwing talk radio people need AM to get their daily dose of crappola, but you...

I went and checked on my maker Slate, and discovered I had checked a bunch of stuff I am not interested in buying. Thanks, Slate, for fixing me up there. I'm still going to buy, never fear. But I am NOT buying all that stuff I first checked off!
