My comment was less about specific pricing and more about the fact that I have a below-zero level of interest in a Maverick or some other new Ford with two extra doors I don't need. I also don't want a truck that, quoting Ford's Mr. Farley, is "fully connected, with a brand new digital...

Yeah I was just noticing that the top they show in the CNBC video appears to block it. A third-party rollbar or soft top would need one, right? CHMSL could be integrated into a spare tire carrier.

If so you'd be buying airbags whether you want them or not. There's a Center High Mount Stop Lamp (third brake light) to consider.

I had a "Bazooka Bass Tube" subwoofer behind the seat in my S-10. It worked great!

This is such a Deep Cut that I found it with 1 view (and that could have been me viewing it at the time). They appear to enjoy discussing (to death) what cars are available and they have some thought-provoking insights.

Does a rolbar + soft top count as an SUV Kit? Prototype:

There's a Unique Proposition factor. There are members on this site, myself included, who wouldn't buy the Ford even if the Ford's price is lower. Also bear in mind that at 150,000 units Slate only needs to sell fewer than 1% of new light vehicles Americans will purchase in a year.

I did quick dive into space saver donuts. 🍩 The wheel for those is three inches narrower than the stock wheel (4" vs. 7"). There are lots space-saving tire sizes that fit on a 17"x4" wheel. There's a vendor in eBay that specializes in selling "original spare tires". Prices are reasonable...

Bestop's version of this could be pretty good! Rollbar / no rear seats / soft top is appealing.

I can assure you I'm not. It's a complex subject with nuance. This. 🦊👍

Distinguishing between "mainstream" news and a science journal isn't the point. Neither is geographical news diversity. Climate Alarmism is propagated many ways, only one of which is via Corporate Media Narrative. There's a concept in education called Reading For Meaning. Think of it as...

One of the commenters on the recent CNBC video summed it up succinctly in three words: Simplicity is beautiful.

Yes and no. Chris Barman says they're starting a new industry, not joining the existing car industry.

After two days the video is now up to 472K views 1,952 comments That's some valuable publicity for Slate Auto. Edit: The comments are interesting and worthy of a perusal if you have a couple of minutes to spare. (link)

As someone who's owned several 4x4s I resemble that remark. My current one has AWD and 4x4... because you can't be too sure. :) If you want to go off-road you're better off getting a quad or a side-by-side rather than using the vehicle you drive to work. On the trails quads travel twice as...

This happens with my phone(s). When SOC is low, charging is rapid. When SOC is high, charging slows, eventually to a trickle near 100%. Might be for different reasons, possibly temperature?

In some photos taken at events there's a rectangle on the bumper below the license plate, possibly where a hitch receiver will pass through.

... and profitable subscriptions. During the reveal event Jim Farley said It'll be fully connected, with a brand new digital experience no one's seen in our country. Because everyone wants a Brand New Digital Experience in their 4-door pickup!

A while back I tried to determine how much the extra weight of the Extended Battery option would slow down the 0-60mph time. I came up with 8.4 seconds, but that could be off. If it's off I'd expect less effect, not more. Hey! This could be a good time to post an ever-so-popular Edge Case! If...

The SUV Kit's windows are removable too.
