Truth be told, sometimes less is more. Slate Auto gets that.

Munro videos and articles on sherwood.news look like geurilla marketing. I approve. Reluctantly. Only because I realize that's how these things work.

The cost of [insert $28,000 item here] is only important if it's a substitute product compared to the Slate Truck, which the Maverick isn't. Put another way, the Maverick is a horse of another color.

It's super easy to do on a forum.

This. My initial gut feeling about their choice to include hand-crank windows was that it wasn't for cost reasons, rather it was for marketing purposes. Edit: "Marketing" isn't quite what I mean. It's a cool little quirk that deliberately fits in with the ethos. I think it was a good decision...

I think you're misinterpreting the intent of @E90400K' post.

Former Construction Cost Account (many construction sites) and School Administrator (K-8 school) here. That sounds more like what you'd see on a Middle School playground than a jobsite.

Speaking of the Beetle, I owned some of them. Someone named John Muir (the engineer one, not the Sierra Club one) published the predecessor to Slate University, but for Volkswagens, and it's a spiral-bound book instead of videos. "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive -- A Manual of Step-By-Step...

Good article! Thanks for posting. It's good enough to deserve its own thread.

@motorolas found a good article that has an informative interview of Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman. Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV -- The automotive veteran explains why her company can deliver a cheap electric vehicle when others, like Tesla, have...

If demand existed for light-duty flatbed trucks we'd see them on the roads. Flatbeds I see are 3/4-ton and up. Makes sense when you consider that a pallet of sod weighs twice the Slate's load-carrying capacity (just an example).

New vocabulary word... The part with the rear window that's above the partition is called the "halo". I'm referring to what detaches from the cab and re-attaches to the rear of the squareback SUV Kit.

And it reaches places that are hard to reach with paint.

She's Employee #2. He's Employee #3. That begs a question...

How does this relate to this thread, you ask? Slate needs to guesstimate what the demand curve and price accordingly. Penetration pricing means "erring on the low side" for the jump-start effect of selling units rapidly while things are getting going. Eventually guesstimating the demand curve...

You're exactly right because the value at the time of the transaction is ephemeral. It's only a current market value for that exact item at that exact time. When you plot quantity demanded at various prices you get a demand curve. The slope of that curve represents price elasticity of demand...

I quoted exactly what you wrote. Let it go.

The discussion is about "A used Ford Ranger from the 2000s could operate for the next 10-15 years". Eidt: The 2001 was equipped with a 4.0L SOHC V6 engine, not the pushrod version.

Like any other tool, AI can be misused or used properly.

Only the SOHC version was offered.
