Depending on how the spare tire mount is set up, those with that accessory might be able to take advantage of this kind of mount. I have one on my Geo and it gets the job done.

You'd have people taking off their composite panels for weight savings, like you see on some drift trucks! I wonder how torquey the EV drivetrain will be? Especially on just the rears with the traction assist off.

Driving slow cars fast is some of the most fun you can have! SCCA used to pit lightly modified Fits, Mazda 3s, Fiestas, and Sparks/Sonics against each other and it looks like a barrel of fun! About 10 years ago I went to an SCCA autoX inspired advanced driving course and they were allowing...

Automakers have tried to bypass the chicken tax with little to no success, from putting seats in the rear of the vehicle to have it classified as a passenger car (okay I call this a win): To Ford shipping "passenger version" Transit Connects from their factory in Turkey to the US and promptly...

I think that's the first time they've showed the basic wheels without the disc-shaped wheel covers on them, too!

Couldn't agree more, half the reason I'm excited about the Slate is curiosity of how it will do against our wonderful hail storms.

I saw this thread about it and it the only reply to it might be helpful: https://www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130062 Edit: it if you can get it out someone sells a tray for putting in the holes: My LTD has a bench seat, as long as you have the option to fold the middle into a...

I've had no issues with music playback on my android phone. Samsung's "Music" app was pre-downloaded onto the phone and in true android fashion if you go over to 'folders' it'll pull just about everthing it can find on the phone with audio in it. I had to delete the samsung store version and...

At least I have the benefit of being able to Level 2 at home prior to a trip. That gets me to at least the nearest big city where all of the supers are at. I was fiddling around with A Better Route Planner to see what my longest day-trip distance usually is (165 miles), and luckily there's two...

My town has no superchargers, and the nearest one is one town over, or about 20 miles, and another 40 miles away. HOWEVER, looking at the Tesla supercharger map on their own site shows that my town is allegedly getting one. It doesn't have a location yet but is marked 'coming soon.'

Reminds me of years ago when I was looking at buying a Mercury Capri, the 90s ones, and noticed in the brochures that it was mostly women and cute little cougar kittens in every picture. It was a funny moment of wait, am I even the target market for these? I agree with what other posters have...

That matches Slate's company number, I'll have to make a note to pick up for an 833 area code!

Wow, that's a heck of a story. I would have loved to be able to get my hands on an early build of a car like that. The driving experience, not so much. The experience reminds me of a time I was handed the keys to a friend's dad's very heavily (and incorrectly) modified Jeep. Heavy steering that...

If side-curtain airbags in seats are not mandatory, and I don't think they are, seat manufacturing in-house should be fairly straight forward. Frame, foam, cover, mount it to the truck. Funnily enough there's a manufacturing facility right by me that makes custom seats and upholstery for...

I like that it gives a good look at the tailgate from a new angle, with what I assume is the backup camera mounted next to the handle on the back: The little lip on the tailgate is interesting, a tiny spoiler or an oversized load protector for the plastic panel under it?

Each car is different but they sell little tow-straps you can hook to the bottom of the seat rail for manual seats to hold the wheel in one spot. I know some of my older cars have a few degrees of movement on the wheel even when locked. Some people tie the seatbelt around it and buckle it in but...

I'm a big fan of TC and gave this a watch last night. I really like that Grizzl-e charger he used. If I end up hard-wiring a charger in the back I'll definitely go with one of those that's just dip-switch controlled, which I didn't know you could even get one so simple.

Oh believe me, I wouldn't be disabling it in my own, I won't speak for others but I have heard of people intentionally disabling that pedestrian alert sound and backup cameras, much like people have done for emissions controls in diesels. We had a friend of the family t-bone a red light runner...

Absolutely, I don't like the Cybertruck for a lot of reasons but one thing I will always stand by is automakers making outlandish, off the wall, headliner cars that show off design work or technology, even if they end up burning money. Without it we wouldn't have stuff like the Subaru SVX, the...

If these are going to be shipped to and distributed through service centers as discussed in a different thread, I'd hope the process would be like renting a U-Haul. Walk in, give 'em your info. Fill out some paperwork, walk around the outside and note any cosmetic damage / issues for them to...
