The Geo isn't a high feature vehicle either. My Accord Coupe could mechanically recline and move the power seat forward and push back to its original position.
I also noticed that to move the front seat to access the rear requires two actions. Recline forward with the side handle and pull forward with the underseat handle. Most two-door vehicles achieve this with a separate lever so the original seat position can be maintained.
There's also the Chevy Equinox which has 320 miles of range and starts at $33.5k before dealer discounts, excluding the $7500 rebate. Then there's also the new Chevy Bolt EUV coming later this year that will be under $30k with 250-300 miles of range.
Would be a nice surprise if GM came out of...
Any range estimate is going to be their EPA range goal. So yes, with the smaller battery expect under 100 miles in normal use. Also consider cold weather, and battery degradation over time if you plan to keep the truck for a while.
150k is a bold forecast. For comparison, the Ford Maverick which is generally seen as a success only sold 131k in the US last year.
There's only so much market share for a smaller truck, EV or ICE. Telo, GMs Colorado & Canyon EVs and Scout will also be hitting the market at the same time.
Just to make sure everyone realizes, you are not winning a free truck. Just the chance to see your design on a pre-production vehicle (and the trip to the HQ and other merchandise).
The problem for Slate is that they're trying to pass a bill requiring that AM radio remains in cars, which would definitely mean that FM would be available.
Although I do wonder if there is a loophole that this won't apply if radio is not available in the vehicle to begin with...
If you're referring to the last generation Tacoma that has the worst interior comfort I've ever experienced. You're almost sitting on the floor. Blows my mind how many people bought them for their reliability but had to put up with that every day.
