Secretly, there are no gears, only magic.

They way it works is your phone connects to the main speaker, and the main speaker connects to the remote speakers. It's absolutely a more complicated setup, but at $150 for just the side speakers, that could be the case. Hmmm, I wonder when more information will be available 🤔

I think there was a possibility that the side speakers connected to the center via bluetooth, the way you can link some bluetooth speakers together. I would greatly prefer a wired connection, especially because I can splice into it for additional amps/speakers. But they might have gone for...

Behold, a transmission

Yeah, if Slate's side speakers are wired I might just get them. If they're connected to the center speaker with bluetooth, I plan to replicate their pod design but for the biggest standard speaker that will fit. I'm also curious how hard it'll be to add door speakers. Lots of open questions, but...

*Puts on internet fighting hat* EVs don't have any transmission, they have a final drive and a differential.

An adapter plate that replaces one of the dashboard openings with a single din rectangular hole would be super easy to do. I could sketch one up and have it printing about 5 minutes after getting all the relevant dimensions. There's really not much to the wiring, just wire the power to a...

I've been cursed with literacy.

I don't know how much of it is a coordinated effort and how much is... well... idiots are often idiots in the same way, but one thing I want to add to the whole "bUt It WaS aNnOuNcEd At $20k" argument is that it was announced in April of 2025, and at that point no serious person believed that...

It's really cool. The packaging is really clever. I love the idea of a truck meant to do everything a Tacoma can do, but electric and the length if a Mini. However, they seem to be pretty far from production, and well out of my price range.

I'm definitely going to see how it is at stock height before changing it. I'm willing to bet RWD will become an issue for me before the stock ground clearance will. Not that I'm unwilling to lift something 2wd, but I prefer just tall enough to clear whatever tires I want. The wife's lifted...
