His dream truck is out there. Took this photo a while back of someone in town that drives this monster. It's an F650 pickup truck.

I'm interested in how insurance will be, it's carving out a new category for compact EV pickups.

I'll counter that one with the takes I hear from a lot of my millennial friends. We started driving late 80s/90s simple (by modern standards), somewhat reliable cars in highschool. Fuel injection was mostly figured out by then and most cars had the basics nailed down. The lucky ones had the GM...

Dang, I've got a glut of double-din radios that I had planned to try out in the Slate. However, when donating my first car to charity (they told me in advance it would be sold to a junkyard), I pulled the single-din radio from it. I'll absolutely use that if I have to.

The simplest/dumbest answer I could think of is the Slate in 'tow' mode constantly running cabin & battery heat / air to burn off any energy being generated by the wheel regen.

This post was a really great breakdown of how they target these types. I'll add to that with an actual real life example. Part of collecting just about everything I can for my cars includes the dealership training material. Here's the 1993 Geo Tracker target demographic per the Salesperson's...

It would certainly be a great time to stress-test the interior materials. And the body panels. 102* outside for the next few days with a UV Index of 11+.

My hope is an electric AC compressor can run at the 'optimal' speed 100% of the time. My Fit's AC works wonders when driving, but when you get stuck in traffic it is almost unbearable. Does not do well in idle. Car has a loooong dashboard that just radiates so much heat. One of those urban...

There's a whole lot more in there, I pulled no punches on grammar problems in that post!

If I had some Frankenstein'd together JDM sports car with all sorts of mismatched body panels, I'd rock the patches plate. Texas has all sorts of weird ones. I have spotted our elusive hamburger plate only once in my 10 years here: I was going to get it until Texas brought back their...

Honda sold a center console / armrest for the Fits that slotted into two of the cupholders and you screwed it into place. I could see the aftermarket doing the same, especially given the room in the rear of the seats for mounting it back there.

I've got a Fit that's on the way out, and it's my "dependable get in and go anywhere in an emergency" car that needs a spot filled. Something normal my partner can drive that isn't a manual or my show car. Figured I'd get a new car for the first time. If the Slate doesn't pan out my two (maybe...

Well you definitely struck a cord with sum of us with you're cereal spelling/grammar corrections, just don't overdue it or users may loath your posts and you won't get the desired affect!

Imagine this radiating out from the same spot in every parking space! It's insane what the market is paying for some of these cars, but it's becoming that way with just about every 80s and 90s car. Watching bring a trailer over inflate the value of every moderately clean example of Hondas and...

Looks cool Price Minimalist Customization I'm one of those holdouts that pickups (and even some SUVs) should be two doors. Growing up we had nothing but coupes and two-door pickups, in highschool we all had two door coupes and two door trailblazers and the only SUVs I lusted over were Broncos...

I'll throw my hat in the ring and give some examples of ICE-specific failures on my cars, specifically emissions controls. My Thunderbird had an EGR valve fail a little after 100K miles, my first LTD had a smog pump problem and needed a new one* (that may have just been a bearing failure IIRC)...

Still no Texas events, but getting closer. Denver is only 12 hours away from me....

Double post but one of the prototypes shows additional USB ports behind one of the flip doors. One had a USB symbol while they all had a general "charger" symbol. Makes me think that's how a service tech would do updates without the owner and their phone present. From Adam W's Seattle photos:

Jokes aside, I really hope the phone mount is moveable and is part of that bottom rail, and that the rail is extended to the LEFT of the steering wheel. My 2011 Fit has a driver's side cupholder and, if you ask me, is the greatest invention of the modern automobile. Keeps drinks cold or hot, AND...

Looks like the taillights are going to be a single bulb setup. Was hoping for two for redundancy, that and one being a dedicated turn signal bulb and the other brake lights so we could potentially have amber turn signals if we wanted 'em!
