  1. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    But discussing why she may be wrong, or Slate's view of the Market is possibly incorrect is not FUD.
  2. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    It's an internet label applied in weakness when a person is losing or lost an argument. Negative information is not misleading. And all the "meaningless internetisms" existed before the internet, so what is your point?

    Or... your capability to find humor in things people post.
  4. Slate makes the cover of Car & Driver magazine!

    Analysis Margin Calls “The real challenge,” says Tyson Jominy, senior vice president of data and analytics at J.D. Power, “is that EVs typically have a worse margin up front” than internal-combustion vehicles. Jominy puts a typical EV’s margins at 10 to 15 percent. Slate’s is likely even lower...
  5. Slate poaches Tesla engineering manager

    TMI. I don't need to see the guy's resignation letter. Good Lord.
  6. Flat Tow support for Slate truck in the works [confirmed]

    My golf cart just has a simple toggle switch to put it in tow mode...
  7. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    One has to ask why did the Feds mandate a BEV warranty? Lol.
  8. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    It's a king cab not a crew cab, so it's the smallest cab configuration. It does have 4 doors, but the rear doors are coach doors for access to the area behind the front seats. This is a cab configuration on both full-size and small/mid-sized pickups have utilized for 35 years or so. It has a...
  9. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    Never read that one. Is that akin to "echo chamber"?
  10. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    "FUD" is just another meaningless internetism, like "confirmation bias", "strawman argument", "logical fallacy", "ad hominem", et cetera. Psychobabble phrases used by people when they've lost an argument on the net. :CWL:
  11. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I have a MIC top too. I'd like to see how the bulkhead gets tied down to the bed.
  12. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    Seriously, anvils don't bonk people on the head; cute imagery from you, though, Lol. But I need zero education on the subject of automotive design, manufacture, operation, and repair from you. Please stop trying. Lol.
  13. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I still want to know about the seal design of the front bed wall keeping water out of the cab.
  14. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    A RAM is a $80K full-size truck. A 2025 Nissan Frontier S King Cab, 2WD, 6-foot bed can be bought for under $30K. It hauls 1,900 pounds and tows 7,500 pounds. It's just 35" longer than a Slate.
  15. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    Again, moving parts doesn't necessarily equate to lower reliability. I never made an argument about ICEV maintenance cost being equivalent to EV, in fact I stated my research qouting Forbes indicates the cost difference in maintenance between ICEV and EV is just 4-cents per-mile. 10 cents vs...

    Maybe you aren't, but the Market as a whole, may be.
  17. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    Yeah, no one here has really made the case that ICEV moving parts are less reliable than EV non-moving parts (other than they expand and contract from heat cycling). The Mach E had a TSB and recall on the HVBJB. It breaks and the car is bricked. All EV have a HVBJB. Yup, ICEV do require a bit...
  18. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    I really don't see how EV claim to be simpler. Have you ever seen the guts of the cooling system and charging system in say, a Mustang Mach E, the stuff under the frunk panels? It looks as complicated as my Ford EcoBoost turbo Bronco. Both ICEV and EV have sensors and computer modules that...
  19. Toyota to follow Ford in $30k small truck segment

    EVs can break, ask any Tesla or Mach E owner.
