  1. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    Look a Whirlpool stock over the last year. It's in a tailspin because of bad management.
  2. Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    Filled up for $3.69 yesterday in Southwest Michigan and my neighbor said it was $3.15 yesterday about 50 miles north.
  3. VIDEO: The Rise and Fall of American Small Affordable Pickup Trucks

    I have one on order but the odds of actually taking it is pretty low. 3 Maverick Hybrids in my driveway as it is.

    Anything over $20k and it'll never sell. Has nothing to offer .
  5. Slate Delivery- Home Address

    Somehow, I feel the Teamsters will be involved in the end.
  6. The small truck market point that's brought up.

    When there was still some S-10's with low mileage down south I would take buying vacations to get one. Now the miles on them are so high it's not worth it. Now have 3 Maverick Hybrids and am happy.
  7. Slate (RWD) spotted snow/cold weather testing. AWD version coming says engineer

    I've wired a lot of prototypes for road testing and have no idea what the tube is or the reason for the rack. The data acquisition system might be in the place of the passenger seat. The rack could be a weight or attached to a large data box? ??

    Might even help the population decline like the old days.
  9. Request to get truck at the Factory instead of delivery

    About 90 miles for me I might go for it.
  10. If It Weren't for Slate, I Would Get...

    Have 3 Mavericks and no issues 40+MPG 10k between oil changes. Comfy lots of room
  11. Heat and A/C Knobs Testing (Clip)

    I worked on knobs in the appliance world. It's not as straight forward as you might think. A lot of sanding and filing and hands on human approval. Setup a board with knobs 1-5 and see how people like the way they feel. Then do it again with some tweaking tomorrow. And repeat and repeat.
  12. Sodium Iron Batteries are Here.

    Good Fast Cheap Pick any 2 The answer from upper management was always Fast and Cheap
  13. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    I have 3 hybrid Mavericks and I'm happy. A $20k Slate was going to be my around the farm truck. Unlicensed and a beater. Still undecided, but I can buy 2 4x4 used Silverado's for the price.
  14. New EV worries

    No you're in a box with limited insulation going down the road. Windchill. In the summer it's in the sun.
