Could not agree more. My 2023 Maverick has had plenty of so-called recalls, but all they really are, are software updates. Literally no different than when an app gets updated on your phone. It's absurd to call these updates a recall.

My first new vehicle as a 1986 bare-bones Mazda B2000. RWD, two door, no radio, no bedliner, etc.. Drove it for 17 years and 173,000 miles, sometimes going 7000 miles between oil changes (not a brag - I was young and poor). Marvelous vehicle. When it finally kicked the bucket, I replaced it with...

2023 Maverick Hybrid with 20,000 trouble-free miles, but sure...

My intention was to keep my Maverick hybrid and add a Slate. The new Ford offering may well throw that plan into disarray.

I've had a RetroSound in my 1974 VW Karmann Ghia since 2011 and it has always worked flawlessly. Paid $230 for a basic radio back then, so this price doesn't shock me at all.

In Washington State, hybrids are classified as EVs, so I'm paying this same tax for my Maverick which is only averaging 35MPG for me. There are plenty of ICE vehicles that get better gas mileage than that. It's so irritating.

I’Il take a crack. I wanted a small pickup and a hybrid. Twenty-seven months and 19,000 miles I still love the truck.

Actually, the entire post is clickbait.

Here's an entire page of crank AM radios on Amazon. Problem solved. You're welcome. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=crank+radio&crid=10E1OXPNE6DK7&sprefix=crank+radi%2Caps%2C329&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

The only thing I learned is that they will honor DIY warranty repairs - an industry first. Pretty cool.

The survey needed a None option.

Not concerned in the least. Also not convinced we'll see a 2026 delivery.

Sounds like Slate is not for you. I recommend you get your deposit back and move on.

This statement confuses me. Why wouldn't this assembly line be way more efficient than a typical one?

You're completely missing the build objective of this truck: a radically simple, low-cost electric truck that minimizes features and parts to keep the base price affordable, while offering modularity and user customization.
