As another member suggested, why not contact Slate, plead your case, and then report back on what they say?

Ummm, that was a joke.

All unibody “trucks” are cars with beds. Ridgeline, Maverick, Santa Cruz. Even the R1T. I had a buddy in high school with an El Camino…man, that thing was fun. And not unibody.

I just saw a press release that Telo is going all in with comma.ai. Problem solved.

Jason mentioned Discord during the Jay Leno vid. It’s how a JLG producer found Jason and got in contact…at that point the prototype wasn’t finished. I have some experience using Discord at a previous company…not bad software.

Good luck with this.

If you are overlanding, bags of ice can be hard to come by. That plus everything eventually gets wet. Even with a Yeti.

Definitely keep the simple round headlight look.

This is kinda what I’m thinking, but with a flat, longer bed. Meet the Subaru Sambar. If you need it to be a pickup, add that kit. If you want a mini van, add that kit.

Electronics is a group of components. For the Slate, I wonder what percentage electronics entails? Probably a lot less than 40%.

No idea what they talk about but whatever it is, there’s not a lot of conversation with only 19 members.

What is up with this ridiculous Telo gauge cluster? Just plain dumb.

We actually buy fancy dual power fridges that can run off a power station or vehicle 12v power. In the winter, the frunk makes an excellent fridge. No ice or power required.

Well said.

Maybe Slate meant the battery pack and not the cells.

From 2024. No lawsuits filed against Ford so far but the investigations might lead to legal action and/or recalls.

Interesting. That’s a fully vertical solution which is unlike what a few on this thread have been arguing for. Like you, I doubt anyone will be taking the Slate on highway trips long enough for something like BlueCruise to make sense.

Glad it works well. What does Ford have to say in their legal disclaimer about using BlueCruise? Do they disavow all responsibility for accidents BlueCruise might cause?

Call me naive but I’m pretty sure Tesla wouldn’t be getting sued if self driving tech is the sole responsibility of the driver. The whole point of self driving tech is that the driver is not actually involved with driving. If not driving, then not at fault. If the driver isn’t at fault in the...

I don't believe there is a single component in any ICE vehicle that is 37% of the price of the vehicle. Which kind of makes me wonder, what is driving the pricing for ICE vehicles? Labor? Paint? Drivetrain? Metal stamping? Marketing/overhead? Greed? Or is it all of the above.
