Maybe it will cause a market shift and people realize how much they are paying for sh!t they don’t need and way oversized vehicles for what most drivers really need. A more simplified society. Not likely but who knows.

Good find. Thx for posting.

I agree EVs are not for everyone and they serve a purpose. Not going to replace the ICE anytime soon. I’m getting one for a few reasons. It will suit my needs perfectly. Daily commute of about 90 miles total. I just finished my new house build and had a dedicated 240v put in the garage for the...

I checked the events page yesterday and noticed nothing was posted and got me to thinking. Thus the thread. Now I’m thinking road trip to Fort Worth from Houston is in my future.

Since the first of the year, there have been no scheduled vehicle tours and zero mention of a actual production date. Considering all early estimates had production dates for late this year, I find that concerning it's crickets thus far this year. I would suspect if they were close to that...

Hey, I am married to a hot lady so no I will not spoon with you big or little spoon!!!! :oops: LOL

Sometimes you have to stir the pot.

Nor Texas. Number 2 in total reservations.

My mistake. Shows how little interest I truly have in a Prius. Thought they had a 100% EV option. So not a competitor with a Prius either. Leaf it is then. Still not a Maverick.

You just made my point with your initial statement. You wanted a truck not a 100% EV. I am not looking for a truck. I am looking for a 100% EV to commute. Maybe that has failed to register with you after my repeated statements as such. Therefore a Maverick is not in play where as a Prius, in...

One is an all electric and one is not. Therefore not competitors for those that are only seeking a fully electric. It’s pretty simple math. A Prius would be a closer competitor for that market segment.

E90400K said: No one has made a good argument that the Maverick is not a competitor with the Slate Truck. MMMM, not exactly accurate by your own posts. You say competitor as a blanket statement in one post then a competitor in the automotive market place in another. All in good fun. Now...

Maybe you have not noticed Maverick does not come in a 100% EV configuration. I want a 100% EV for a commuter. Argument approved. It's not a competitor for those that want a 100% EV.

They have by eliminating it as an option and leaving the decision 100% up to the end user. And again, not related to your post but others, the only thing that makes a Maverick a comparable (and it ain't) is they are both small trucks. That's where it ends. Two completely different animals...

There is no 100% electric Maverick so apples to oranges. I am interested in two things. Bare bone minimalistic approach and 100% electric. Maverick is neither of those. No roll up windows, no no radio, etc. They ain't the same.
