My top mileage is 175k in 2.0 2014 Escape with no issues. 10.5 years. EVs should get more mileage than a ICE I think. Now retired I have been driving much more. I don’t have the mileage a year yet but guess it’s 18-22K.

I agree with that. I get chills of all those knock off Smart for Two mini cars I saw all over in China, I think there were 5 different variations of that tiny car and had room for four passengers too. and I think I am liking the swapping out of batteries for all the reasons we know.

I am putting 5 SS 1” X 33” flat stock on the hood , like a luggage rack thing. If you rap it you could place applicas under the rap for all kinds of interesting karictor lines.

Could this be E coat after at the plant ? A simple dip and bake then to assembly. Would a phosphate type coating be enough? I am sure there’s other welded steel treatments available too.

We are at a point and time where the Chinese , Koreans could crush the Slate with their own version that would have a better performance in battery with power everything , for a better price. I am sure they are working on it if the market is there. Lots of years of building great mini trucks in...

Okay, thanks. I have a 2024 Maverick XLT, hybrid lux package CP360, I’ll be doing some tire kicking on the Slate at 27K this might not be in my lane as Maverick competitors leap frog the Maverick. I need the larger battery too and that’s a 30K + I am guessing. But it’s an apple to orange...

So it’s a 20K truck, or am I missing something with the 25K price quote? is this based on a EV tax deduction that may or may not happen? Some refer to the price at 20K and some at 25K, just trying to understand the difference.

I see the price is 20K and 25K, why is that ? I want to keep the 20K base price as posted by the manufacturer please.

E-coat the whole assembly, bake and assemble.

Looks like I’ll be comparing my 2024 LTX lux pack, copilot 360 hybrid at $28K 533 day wait, to the Slate. My Maverick will be a tough competitor to beat.
