Im interested in something that permanently extends the bed walls and uses the original tailgate, brake lights, etc. The interesting thing is that they could 3d print new bed side panels so there is no exterior seam.

Crossovers are one of the most popular categories, but companies are already making cheapish crossovers. Even if they are more expensive they still compete. The equinox is 35K. Since it exists now if the slate came as a CUV people can get the EV credit today instead of waiting and get one for...

I would buy an electric maverick. But it would need to be at or below 30K.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All those curves and waves are annoying. Why make the bed rails at an angle. I love the slate because it is simple. It is like fashion designers. They make all kinds of bizarre stuff for the runway, but people mostly want simple basic stuff.

resale value is a bad reason 4K put into the market will double in value about every 7 years. There is no circumstances where the battery recoups that. my wife has 60 miles on her PHEV, we are still using L1 charging and a tank of gas has lasted 2500 miles and was only halfway done. With L2...

interesting had no idea this existed. Here is an example These kits seem to run about 65 on amazon. This is for both windows

I have a tundra too :) and the slate would be our third. I would like to replace the tundra with a road trip vehicle like a sprinter van or even a minivan

Thats the same for me as well. uhaul rents pickup trucks for $20, plus .60 to .99 per mile

the question is, is it better to have a car form factor and rent a truck when you need it, or have a truck form factor and rent the road trip vehicle when you need it. Most people have their cake and eat it too with 4 door trucks, but that brings in other problems. I do think road trips are...

i have multiple friends tell me about slate as something I would be interested in. I know quite a few people that have heard of it as well.

if they publish the specs I bet 3rd parties start producing colored panels.

minimalism. I hate modern infotainment systems. My wifes mercedes locked the pin the other day so I couldnt login to the infotainment. That was very frustrating. My tundra has a minimal bluetooth system for the audio. I use the nav on my phone. I use google assistant on my phone to control the...

If you have an L2 charger in your home you can charge daily. The vast majority of people drive around 35 miles/day. Obviously if you drive more you need the bigger pack. Im working from home now so am down to 6000 miles/year, about 16 miles per day. My wife has a PHEV with a 60 mile range...

cafe standards need to average No new small pickups exist because cafe standards forced mfg to make the trucks bigger (by weight, footprint, or whatever). Our gas prices are relatively low still so there isnt the push to smaller trucks. During the spike in gas prices around 2010, large...

in many parts of the world (e.g. china and south america) manual windows are still made in high volumes for lower end cars. They are still considered more reliable. Im definitely taking manual windows. The only time I open my windows is to manually pay tolls (pretty much never) or to order from...

its not that they want to punish EVs it is that EVS dont pay any gas tax and they are often very heavy putting more wear on roads than gas cars.

the nissan leaf was notorious for losing range. I think manufacturers understand how to condition the battery to avoid this. I think the 20-80% being automatic is fine but then my 150 miles needs to be after the 20-80%. If not, 20-80% is only 90 miles which is fine for me today and I would want...

The only thing that has me on the fence is the battery loses capacity over time and you charge from 20-80% so I dont need the extended battery now, but 10 years from now I might. My current truck is 15 years old - I like to keep my cars for as long as possible.

thinking about the average buyer is absolutely not how marketing works. This is why you are confused. Instead, every single product has a particular profile of customer in mind. That is specifically not the average. Here are some examples of profiles 01 - Upper Crust: Wealthy, older married...
