gen x here, My kids are 17, 12 and 10. My 17 year old took lots of friends in her car when she wasnt supposed to so the two younger ones will get a slate where they can only take one passenger. I work from home and I mainly drive by myself, though I have to pick the two youngest kids up...

saw someone flat towing a maverick behind an RV today.

i think the easiest change will be to extend the bed by 1-2 feet and then have a shorter cap so you have two rows of seats and some useable bed space.

catalytic converters are often stolen from cars like the prius, tundra, and tacoma. It costs like $3500 to replace all four on the tundra. The tundra has a secondary air injection pump which is used to improve emissions in the first 60 seconds of operation. They somehow collect moisture, rust...

i have a 2010 tundra. It is still going strong but I want something smaller. My #1 priority is an EV. Otherwise I dont need a new car at all. If I kept the tundra then any ev would work. I would probably get a used Model Y for the self driving.

your problem is that you are taking averages and applying them to all areas. There are plenty of areas where gas is expensive and charging is .20 / kwh in an urban area, gas is especially expensive and the larger maverick is harder to park. For me the price of gas doesnt matter. it is the...

every thing is about prioritization. Here are examples of things people make decisions on: can haul things (under 1500lbs, over 1500 pounds) can tow things size (small,medium, large) gas mileage (ice, hybrid, ev) Price (under 30, 30-40, 40-50, 50+) luxury (spartan, luxurious) seating capacity...

it takes zero minutes to fuel the slate because it fuels at night when you are asleep. There is no need to go to the gas station at all. I have a 2010 tundra that I love. If the slate makes it Im trying to decide if I want to sell the tundra. The only issue with the tundra is that it is too...

i want the slate, plus some kind of erev for longer trips. The bronco isnt it, but is a very cool option.

You wrote way too much couldnt read it but I think I got the gist of it. i cant stand to listen to the radio, mostly commercials, random djs talking, and not the songs I want to hear. I use my phone to play spotify to the cars audio. I control the volume and what song is playing via the...

For sure this.

slate food is a plain hamburger. Cheap, simple, american, and gets the job done. If you want you can accessorize it with cheese, pickles, lettuce and tomato. Can upgrade meat to wagyu. Can add another patty, and can add all kinds of fancy toppings like mushroom and swiss, bacon, avocado etc.

the easiest update is to add 1-2 feet to the bed so you now have a long bed. Then being able to add the same SUV seats with a shorter cap to have a double cab with the same 5ft bed. suicide doors are a pain. had that in my 2000 tundra and would never do that again. There are times in a parking...

im coming to seattle tomorrow night, bummed that I missed the event. I might drive down to the olympia one

moment motor will put an electric drivetrain in any car. https://www.momentmotors.com/ adding an extra motor is 100% doable, just at what cost.

they supposedly have hand built 70 prototypes https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/07/jeff-bezos-slate-auto-ev.html

tech to make the car safer, make the battery last longer, want it but dont need it. battery conditioning, keeping charge between 20-80%, backup camera, antilock brakes ok. tech for convenience/comfort for me, dont want it dont need it. radio, infotainment, power everything (seats...

Im close to the perfect audience. 0) I want an EV for the simplicity and so I dont need to get gas or get service. 1) I drive by myself most of the time 2) the hobbies I do are dirty - hunting, mountain biking, kitesurfing 3) I do lots of home projects that require hauling stuff, but not...

I think they can extend the bed 2 feet so you have the option of a full size bed and 1 row, or a shorter bed and two rows. They will definitely add AWD After that possibly a 4 door truck.

my wife has a mercedes PHEV which gets 60 miles on a full charge. In 2 months she is still on her first tank of gas from the dealer. Most days she doesnt consume the full charge. The L1 charger cant fill from 0-100% overnight so some days she is starting short. If we had an L2 charger she would...
