    So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Already have a crude topper design started if it comes to that. Must have for the dogs. No topper, no Slate. Depending on Slate price will finish if I need to compare.

    I guessing there maybe some scrambling how to overcome loss of the EV credit.

    I think (hope) that is a reasonable expectation as it would make my seatless topper less.

    Very true but alluding to the SUV at the Blank Slate price… and at this point no one knows actual SUV Slate price.

    Yes, silly me. When looking to replace wife’s 3 seat SUV, only looked at other 3 seat SUV’s. When looking to replace my truck, only looked at other trucks. Dang, after my divorce, I only dated women. When my Boxer girl Kalani passed, only looked at other Boxers. Must be getting old.

    What am I missing? Comparables? I don’t see them. Marverick is not EV, other EV’s not a pickup. Already have a hybrid truck. Other EV pickups totally another budget. Telo? Even at $42k I don’t expect to see it available, especial in same timeframe. Even same price as Slate, it’s ugly. Set my...

    Did the "big bill" just end EV Tax Credits for Slates? [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Well, perhaps because whether directly or indirectly, fossil fuels subsidies affect everyone, acknowledged or not, even you.

    not being political, but I disagree. price of the truck should be price of the truck, just like any item. Here we are discussing who is paying for it. Manufacturers should be setting fair market value, not base on arbitrary incentives. i could have bought one of the current EV trucks last year...

    Oh we are. Just for some it’s important someone else is helping pay for it.

    Correct me if wrong, but I don’t recall going from incandescent to LED. I believe there was a step in between, CFL. I just installed some new LED fixtures and they sure aren’t was what available when incandescents were banned. There was also a secondary benefit to incandescents, but likely not...

    Maybe an empty hope, but just maybe the manufacturers will give up this free money and adjust their prices. Maybe Slate will lead the way.

    Our State, Hawaii, has a 100% renewable energy so maybe we can expect some sort of State incentive. No wait, yesterday was the start date of the new EV road use tax.

    Sorry, either NYTimes reported wrong or I can’t read. Standard deduction Increase by $750 ($1,500 for couples) in 2025 and make permanent with inflation adjustments Terminate personal exemptions and add temporary senior deduction Make permanent the termination of personal exemptions (they...

    But take heart. We get additional permanent $750 /person standard deduction adjusted for inflation. And over 65 another $6000/yr for 3 year senior deduction. So additional $20250 for me, double if married. might go further than the $7500 which As I understand not everybody got either. Almost...

    Did anyone else get a phone call from Slate today?

    Dang, missed my call today- TWICE. Had left my phone in my shop knowing I’d be right back. But she did leave me a voicemail.
