I have two builds saved. One for the way I'm going to purchase my slate, and one for what I'm going to transform it into eventually. The main thing they have in common is the white lower half-wrap. I love the two-tone look like the silverados in the 70's. I'm posting the pics below.

I have a maverick. Even if the slate cost 30K I'll still buy it because I'll never have to repair any of the 2200 moving parts in an ice drivetrain. I've had a string of bad luck in gas cars lately. 2017 Colorado with a rear diff that kept eating bearings, Scion engine with low tension rings...

4. Get back in and see it's almost there.

I'll be posting articles here on new battery tech. Used to have a blog called halsbatteryblog a decade ago. STILL waiting on solid state, lol.
