    Article: Ram CEO: Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up

    We are having a hard time, wrapping our brains around a manufacturer, making only one vehicle at the factory. I saw a statement that any customizations would be DIY or third-party partner at service centers around the country. I have not seen any statement that they would do customizations at...

    Slate’s affordability model being adopted at GM

    The Bolt is a contender vs the Slate for me. I know it is not an apples to apples comparison. I have a large capable truck and don’t need a truck. I need a third vehicle that is affordable and reliable. DIY maintenance and repair is a must. That and a trip to dealership to buy may negate a...

    I don’t even pretend to understand meathead Ram maker/driver logic.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    Installed a 220 V 30 amp plug in my garage a couple years ago for a welder. I hope to use that for a level two charger but haven’t put the pieces together yet.

    Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    Lowered Slate pickup truck in motion - animated preview video

    By that definition my 1990s 4 x 4 Toyota was not a real truck. I hauled a lot of stuff, towed a few things, drove all over the desert/mountains and generally beat the snot out of it for five years. I call it a real truck. My still useful 2001 GMC 2500 HD with an 8.1 L V8 and Alison...

    This is the small truck Tesla should have produced...

    Dealers are known to list bait and switch pricing. I tried looking for a 2014-17 Audi A4 a couple months ago on some of the common sites. Every one I tried to contact told me ā€œno longer available, but we have X.ā€ I no longer trust not just low but even reasonable advertised prices from dealers...
