I agree with this assessment. Just because it is cheap doesn’t mean the Slate is targeted at low income people.

From the awesome dudes at Donut. Enjoy.

I saw a 1995 reg cab Ranger leaving my neighborhood today and thought it looked fantastic.

So a Fast Cargo?

That’s what I’m talking about. It’s like a Rivian delivery van and 3rd world TV station Doka had a love child.

H Hmmm…doubtful. I think they would rather have people order their meal a la carte: order accessories upfront and add all the accessories into the final price, then finance the total. Their banking partner will tell them to do it this way.

Sure, fine. Put a computer in the driver’s seat lol.

It’s a tech nerd fan boi clown car.

The Scout Terra is body on frame with the bed integrated into the cab (I think). There is a vertical reveal in the bodywork that makes the bed look like it is separate.

Give it round headlights, only two doors, and a flat bed and yes!

The De Dion in the Slate is a solid rear axle. But not a live rear axle in the sense that it drives the wheels.

I can barely remember what I had for breakfast.

Agreed. Also no price yet for the Harvester. I guarantee it’s going to be very close to $70K, perhaps more.

I'm online all the time and I want a cheap, basic truck/Cargo Van...that's how I found Slate in the first place.

This definition of what a truck is is interesting. Does it have to be body on frame to be a truck? Does it need to have a solid rear axle to be a truck? Does it need a pickup bed to be a truck? My FJ has two of the three and I still don't call it a truck. Its a SUV...and definitely not a "car"...

I can definitely see the Telo target skewing younger (regardless of price). I also don't see the Telo as a second car, fleet machine, or small business vehicle. Unless the business is making balloon animals at the county fair.

You are making a lot of assumptions. Also, sucking at driving includes allowing distractions to bother you, not driving at the speed limit, driving recklessly, not checking mirrors and blind spots, and not using turn signals amongst other things. I'm a cyclist and I can't tell you how many times...

Not all people suck at driving. However there are a lot of people who do….and for a variety of reasons. I’m not against self driving tech. I’m just against Slate offering it or allowing/supporting 3rd party solutions that are DIY. I know how to drive and I don’t want to subsidize those who don’t...

I’m guessing that the number of reservations has something to do with it. That and trying to save money wherever they can. It’s part of their DNA.

If you have ever spent any time driving around Seattle, you’d know that a substantial portion of the population would benefit from really good self driving tech…assuming those drivers are better at operating the software than actual driving. It would make all the people here who do know how to...
