Honda Del Sol anyone? I had a pulsar NX. It shared some of the 'modular' concepts the Slate is going for. I kinda miss that car.

Dude, its a TRUCK. lol edit: unless its an SUV I suppose.....hmmmm...... Ok, you could have a point. HAUL-MASTER 600 lb. Capacity Motorcycle Carrier?

Yup, 100%. Almost all the SSD type technology has something to that degree, usually even more so. Thats the industry I spend most my time working in.

My 2 door (edit: technically had a weird ass 3rd door as part of the driver's door so you could access the space behind it) S10 pickup sat 4! Legally! Three in the front seat if you folded up the center arm rest thingy and then there was a side mounted foldup jump seat in the 'extended' cab...

Only if you expect them to run options like everybody else does. At this point, anything's possible. My brothers Subaru wagon didnt have the hitch, but had the harness (every Subaru does apparently). He got a hitch from a junker and grabbed the pigtail that runs to the harness for it, too, and...

I remember reading from multiple sources that Tesla holds back some cells for thermal and wear leveling purposes. IIRC, the overdive speed boost or whatever they call it allows you to access all available cells for a very short moment - something like 10 seconds.

As a former Audio Installer, this would make Slate trucks (SUVs especially) VERY popular with the stereo/mod crowd. And looking at what they state as the target consumer, that's them.

Tell em to save the money and just leave it for us to do. No one needs to pay for a tow harness if they arent going to use it. And frankly, I trust me and my skills more than I trust the factory, never mind some rando that thinks hes an electrician! I wire everything I can for 7 wire (blade)...

Best get-across-the-intersection car I ever had was a 1990 3cyl Geo Metro, 5spd manual. It could reach the other side of an intersection faster than my 400+ HP Camaro could. After that it ate tail lights of course, but it was good for laughs for about one and a half seconds! :) I expect an...

Ive got a buddy with a hybrid Volt that says he goes through 3 tanks a year, and that only because the car tells him the gas is getting old and it auto-switches to it to use it up. Dunno if that helps anyone, but there ya go.

Saturns were infamous up here for not surviving long enough to get rusty. Snowballs were the claimed issue. I just dont want repeats. No bets on how many kids were actually packing ice balls or rocks. :p

Any one else ever have to run new wires all over and REALLY wish the factory had thought to allow for end user addons/mods? I hate having to yank out all the trim, seats, and pull up the floor. Equally bad having to run stuff on the outside where the elements destroy it. How about a few tubes...

Jeeps have an inset slider. Looks odd, but would work.

Oh right - It may be a "does-everything" but that doesn't mean it does it all "best" either. Whatever you 'think' the best thing for a job is, chances are someone will have a 'better' solution. Now change the metric and suddenly both options suck. I'd rather have something that can just do...

I guess you guys missed the part where I said I passed stuck SUVs going over Donner Pass (yes - THAT 'Donner') on my motorcycle with chains on the tires in winter, eh? Amazing what skill plus insanity can accomplish. Also learned the hard way that you shouldn't put the top down on a...

True, but I just pulled a CC stock photo of a 'car broken plastic fender'. The detail of the particular pic is irrelevant to my point.

Ah, but did they also have a factory recall for failing? ;)

There's no infotainment type setup built into the Slate. So adding a bunch of it bundled with a subscription, while also cross promoting the BT speaker and "Bring your own Tablet/Phone" seems pretty counter messaging. Plus, there's nothing stopping me (and a lot encouraging me) to build in my...

They sell a center console. Plus theres that entire dash for .....anything you want it to be. edit - the mini is in the center...of the dash. I didnt mean to imply it was the center console. It is in the Fiero though, for the record. I should have been more clear maybe. Incidentally, a...

Pogo pins. You already see them (in various sizes) in lots of things from CPUs to door connects in airplanes.
