It’s a unibody. Welded space frame, not cast (like Tesla uses).

According to ChatGPT, these are the leading robotic automation companies: My money is on Slate going Japanese. 36-51% market share.

I'm hopeful that it can be adjusted for different tire sizes.

Don't forget the New York strips and a few bags of trail mix.

Maybe 100% robotic welding for the space frame?

Considering how long it took VW to bring the Buzz to market, it seems like a really big missed opportunity. So much anticipation, and so much disappointment. Would make an excellent Harvard Business School case study.

I would rather have a storage bin than that tacked on armrest thing.

There are some pretty good single bike hitch racks. Either less expensive ramp style or more expensive jack style like this: https://motojackrack.com/

The good folks at Honda must have this book as required reading for new hires. Meanwhile Porsche has never heard of it.

The Scout is passenger side front which means backing in to be in the same location as Slate?

Thanks Happy! We've built a few things...not active in this side hustle right now, but happy (pun intended) to give you my thoughts.

I see a clarifying article stating same. The Rivian engineer was quoted out of context. Doesn’t change my position on Scout.

That’s not an ad, it’s a movie.

I just read about how the Rivian R2 will be the [software] platform for future VW EVs which makes me think that Rivian, like Scout, is becoming another division of VW. So why did VW do the Scout deal? 1) more U.S. manufacturing with the new plant in S.C., 2) adding a body on frame vehicle to...

Love it. I can give you some ideas about interior setup. www.EigerOverland.com

The language below the highlighted section (see below highlighted in green) seems to say that vehicles placed in service after 12/31/25 will still be considered clean if the manufacturer has not made over 200K by 12/31/25. Slate meets this criteria. Am I reading this correctly?

Kinda looks like a very stretched old Defender. Would be better if it lost the rear doors and the bed was shorter. Shorter wheelbase too. 110" would be perfect.

Really good stuff. People reading should be aware that wiring solar panels in series makes the voltage additive while doing it in parallel makes the current (amperage) additive. The higher the current, the thicker the cables need to be to handle the heat. Typically, LFP power stations like more...

I needed this forum to convince me…that and I felt I had to cancel my Scout reservation first. Now I’m all in.

Took awhile, but finally done.
