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

    I just don't understand this thought process. It's a truck, it has 4 wheels and a steering wheel, it hauls and tows stuff, it goes places. What does drivetrain architecture have to do with it?
  2. Factory Delivery option

    Too nerve-racking for 10 hours road time. Good Lord! The average destination charge for a new vehicle is $1,450. That would bill out at $94/hour for a 16 hour trek. Jeff can send it to me with that big smile on the box.
  3. Factory Delivery option

    According to MapQuest Warsaw to my home is 611 miles and 9 hours 39 minutes. Add in 8 or so stops for recharging at 40 minutes each so another 5 hours or so. Mr. Bezos can deliver it to me on the back of an Amazon truck...
  4. Does the SUV kit make sense?

    And if one wants the spare tire carrier, it will get expensive for the SUV kit. Rear bumper swing-out tire carriers for Jeeps and Broncos are not cheap.
  5. Does the SUV kit make sense?

    IIRC, I think it swings off the rear bumper; i.e. a rear bumper swing mount.
  6. Article: "Ford’s $30K Electric Pickup Could Crush Jeff Bezos-Backed Rival"

    100% agree. I want the exact same. I wish the Slate was just a bit more beefy. My 1987 Ranger had more towing and cargo capacity. Oh, and seats from the Mustang GT. 🥰
  7. Article: "Ford’s $30K Electric Pickup Could Crush Jeff Bezos-Backed Rival"

    It does seem that simple, but the CEO says Slate will be profitable at nearly the start. That rarely if ever happens in the automotive sector.
  8. Ford EV Announcement Aug 11 - livestream registration link

    Mine's been quite reliable.
  9. Does the SUV kit make sense?

    I only pick up hitchhikers near the State Women's penitentiaries.
  10. Canceling my reservation [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I just find it amusing that everyone thinks tariffs DON'T WORK and are bad for the consumer, yet every country practices the economic activity.
  11. Canceling my reservation [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    You missed my point. By putting so many restrictions on where the EVs are built, the prior Administration made most of the EV sold in the US not eligible for the tax credit. Thus increasing prices of EVs, which is the same effect as a tariff (if you believe tariffs are paid by the consumer).
  12. Canceling my reservation [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    The EV tax credit was established 17 years ago in 2008. The alternate fuel tax credit (precursor to the EV tax credit) was established in 2005. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 enacted by the previous Administration, placed numerous caveats on the EV tax credit tied to country of origin for...
