Slate could do that then ad 2k to the price for the material, engineering, shipping of parts, and assembly.

My fiance's 18 y.o. grandson rides in the back of mine and commented it is more comfortable than my 2023 Silverado was. Gee, I wonder why Ford never does market research before launching a brand new vehicle to find out what consumers are buying. Maybe they should. ;)

I use my phone for Phone calls, yeah my adult children think that is weird, texts, photos, email, and a few apps to pay bills since the retailers sites don;t work with windows 7, lol. I have music on USB sticks, and am looking into a CD player that will plug in to the Maverick.

Haven't listened to free radio since I got my first Sirius radio in 2011. Radio was great when it was music instead of chatter and stupidity.

Speakers are optional.

Out of curiosity I googled pep boys and it says there are 3 in central Virginia but I know 1 it shows is not open any longer.

Those are available at Harbor Freight. So they are NOT security heads.

My point is that company sells a bench seat for 3 passengers but does NOT provide the seat belts to go with it. So unless Slate adds seat belts for anon-existent back seat or third front seat passenger there is no safety features. I work with a guy who made a Durango extended cab out of a...

Yeah because when I think of quality service I think of the few Pep Boy's still around. :CWL:

Yes it does.

The structural foam molding is different than sandwiching foam. You know the Rubbermaid yellow mop carts that kinda look like fiberglass? That's structural foam molding.

Sure if you want something that looks like a sprayed in bed liner

These panels could be made using structural foam low pressure injection molding like the livestock water troughs are. Also plastic pallets are made with structural foam molding.

They can't sell direct to consumer in all states. Tesla learned that. This is a gimmick vehicle that won't last 5 years in production before the price jumps to 40k.

Glass filled ppe. DO NOT SAND ON THIS. Glass filled PPE will eat your skin up just like fiberglass.

Very familiar. You're not very familiar with injection molding plastic machinery and molds. And do not think they will 3D print the panels. That would increase cost 10 fold. Have you ever been inside a automobile part or final Assembly plant? I've been involved with many retooling projects over...

China or some other Asian country. Officially Slate says it will be made in the Warsaw factory. But where have they gotten the prototype unibodies?

True but YOU assume all liability for lack of proper seat belts. I think of it this way. If I would let my 3 year old grandchild ride in it unbuckled then it isn't safe. But if you buy one do what you want. That's the beauty of freedom of choice.

Notice those are for vehicles that were available with a bench seat and DO NOT add a third passenger seating. In other words they are replacement seats which puts the liability on you for proper seat belts etc. " The 42" Baja Bench comes standard with vertical tabs on the bottom for mounting to...

They will research the cost to produce, the cost to sell, and the liability of adding a non-restrained passenger and no air bag and their lawyers will say "pass on that."
