Great story!

AI makes fewer mistakes every week.

Load all the screen shots, pdfs and lists into Copilot and ask it to create it in Excel. You can then have Copilot arrange it however you want. Time? The amount of time it takes to upload all the source material. The result will be produced in less than a minute.

Is the question cost? What does it cost to manufacture in the US. What does it cost the consumer to buy it? Yes, look at Tesla. Where is their $30k sedan? Nowhere. Because they can’t build it and sell it profitably for that price and it would cannibalize their higher margin product. We have a...

The preemptive marketing from Ford is a tried and true strategy. But the product will not be what is advertised. There is no way a 51kw battery is going to push a Ford Fathom 300 miles unless you are coasting down Pikes Peak. Not "physics"ally possible. As a multiple time EV owner and general...

I assume the Ford product will be a nice vehicle for the market it is designed. Go to the grocery store, commute to work. The bed is too short. the Slate bed is barely big enough. 4 to 4.5 feet is not a truck it is a Hyundai Santa Cruz "a sport adventure vehicle", which by the way Hyundai could...

The The 10,000 orders statement is very concerning. I don’t believe they will hit 50,000 deliveries within the first 12 months just because of the reality of start up manufacturing challenges. But if there are only 10,000 actual preorders then they will have a significant challenge ever getting...

Agreed. 100%

Are we shocked that the current federal administration would try and discourage EV adoption?

Whose tires were used to determine the original battery range? I assume (always dangerous) that research was started awhile back.

AI is not necessarily "untrustworthy", but like any statement from an actual human being, the information needs to be verified and the sources questioned. A subject for a different forum.

Here is the ChatGPT AI answer: Tesla Fender-Bender Repairs: Modular vs. Traditional Frame/Sheet Metal For Tesla, modular replacement is often more expensive than traditional frame and sheet metal repairs — especially for minor fender-bender damage — because of how Tesla’s repair philosophy and...

Any idea yet on how many Preorders Slate received in the 30 day window? That would provide a back of the napkin delivery per month capacity. I assume they will not start production pumping out 12,500 trucks per month. It took Tesla 6 months to just reach 2,400 units per month for the Model 3...

An explanation of the delivery windows so people can plan and make informed decisions.

That is a phenomenal interest rate for vehicle financing.
