    So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    You are wrong Benjamin. If it COULD have replaced oil it already would have. Literally everything you are doing at this very moment relies on crude Oil. Phone, TV, A/C, your house. Tell me something that doesn't and I'll prove you wrong

    Doubtful. Do you really think something like corn oil can replace this! It's subsidized to encourage big oil to keep producing it because without it we're all living in the 1700's again. Everything you are doing at this very moment requires Crude Oil. You are typing messages on your phone...

    Like it or not, Oil is responsible for our way of life far and beyond the gas you put in your tank. If you watched the Paramount Series "Land Man", they do a great job reminding everyone some of the things that require oil . Your car tires, the asphalt road you drive on, antihistamines, the...

    Composite Plastic Body Panel Care (Cleaning, Protecting, Waxing, Coating)

    I'm sure Slate will have a cost effective installation price. If they say it can be done DIY in several hours I would assume that install price (from Slate) would be around another $500 at most. Slate is saying that it's designed to be wrapped so I can't imagine they wouldn't make it...

    Alternative spare tire option / location for pickup truck variants

    We live in the age of Cheap. I can't think of any new vehicles that come with a full size spares. Your lucky to get a donut tire and some have even started charging extra for that luxury. Since Slate is cutting everything but the very basics to keep costs down I would be very surprised if...

    Slate Truck (Pickup / SUV) Pricing, Specs, Range, Dimensions, Safety

    201 HP is awesome. To put it in perspective the small Toyota 22R engines produced 105 HP

    Hopefully it will at least come with a tire sealant inflator kit

    I retired from a nuclear power plant and the only charger on site was reserved for the site VP. He had it installed in his parking spot for his company paid for Range Rover EV. Prick.
