Dude, why are you on this forum? If you think Slate is going to change strategic direction based on your incredible automotive business insight, I think you will be sorely disappointed. If you think people on this forum will change their minds given the same, I think the same applies. I think...

We have a couple on two different threads. Admin, a little help here please.

The worst part is even at $40K for a Cybertruck, you still feel like you are getting ripped off.

My last reply on this topic, I promise. Its bad PR to publicly rebut what someone in the automotive press writes or says. Slate knows this. If its close enough without being incredibly off base, let it go. At this point in time, who cares if its $24K or $25K or $27.5K? No one can write a check...

Respectable publications are SPECULATING on the price. They don't know it anymore than you or I or even Slate's CEO at this point in time. But go ahead, send them an email and see what they say. I can almost guarantee that the price will be dependent on whether the federal incentives are in...

When Slate is ready to publish pricing, they will. Until then, we are all free to assume whatever we want. The automotive press certainly has.

Once again we have a potential customer who wants an electric Maverick not built by Ford.

I could be wrong (I'm not), but as far as I have seen, all Slate has said is that their target price is less than $20K after federal incentives. That's it. Not how much below $20K and not how much before the incentives. Any number you choose to think is the price is simply pure speculation and...

He doesn’t because as of now, no actual price has been advertised.

I honestly don’t care if you think it’s irrational. It works for me. See, no tablet, no screen, no infotainment. Just damn good Bluetooth, speakers, and a CD player. That thing on the left is a magnetic Carmount.

I have no idea. But Slate seems to think a fair number of people will be fine just using their phones and I have to assume that they did some market research before making their product decision.

I am also happy to report that now that we are into some very sunny days in western Washington, my two 100w PV panels on the top of my FJ's RTT are easily keeping my Anker Solix C1000 topped off while still allowing my fridge in the rig to run 24/7. You might be wondering why I need a current...

Very true. It is hard to look at a Cybertruck and not think about Elon and his ketamine-fueled rants. He’s a polarizing character.

I have a feeling the Slate will grab attention too, just for different reasons.

I get by just fine with just a phone for nav in my FJ...and that phone is an iPhone SE.

As you are a Cybertruck owner, I'd like to say welcome and glad you have finally come to your senses. Just kidding! After you get your Slate, you'll have two vehicles at the extreme opposite ends of the practicality continuum.

Throttle House boys...always entertaining:

Or they could release progress reports (like another EV company that starts with “S”) that always say the same thing.

Or took one Uber ride in the back of a Model 3 and needed to schedule a chiropractor visit afterwards. Simply terrible suspension.

ICECO makes a nice little 250Wh battery pack with 12v, USB A, and USB C out. Charges off 12v in and most likely will fit in the dashboard cavity. I have one and use it to run my fridge, acting as a current step up converter off my Anker’s 5a/100w USB C out. Also has built in MPPT solar...
