    Used EV Wave Incoming. Anyone Else Watching This?

    One concern I have is the potential glut of EVs coming off lease and flooding back into the market over the next couple of years. From what I am seeing, this could drive used EV prices down quite a bit. The numbers are not small. Industry data shows roughly 123,000 EVs are expected to come off...

    Is FORD Preparing to Release a SLATE Competitor?

    Not to my likes. I like the boxed look of Slate. The doors do not look like they come off. So it will be a nope for me.

    Dark Blue Wrapped Slate Pickup w/ 20" Wheels, All-Terrain Tires, Roof Rack, Bed Rack, Running Boards @ Moto Social Club in Ferndale (Detroit, MI)

    I get it. It use to be really hard a few years ago. We have family that runs a shop. It is hard with parts on a car. But from what I think will happen is most parts will come off and can be put on a table and that helps so much. All your cuts will be behind the panel. Also new wrap rolls are way...

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

    For me 2 slates are cheap cars for my kids to drive. I am ordering two and hope to write them off as test bed for some parts manufacturing. But I will let my girls test drive them to school and college. Also, I just sold my 2001 Ranger with 200k miles and need $6k of work for the clutch and...

    Rich Rebuilds video review from Slate Truck design, engineering, production labs!

    So how many parts do you think are reused more than once? Like the arm rest and tail lights that just rotated I think. Maybe top of the bed it used twice. The air bags in the back look like the same bar. Using a part just twice cuts so much down.

    Your questions answered AND 360 photos! (saw white Slate & met team members in Warsaw)

    Was thinking. I was planning to leave the top and doors off all the time. I wonder how it will do with the rain and water. We leave some Jeeps like that all year. And jump in them when we need a quick ride.
