Hear, hear! I added the question to my List Of Slate Truck Questions. The list is already 12 questions and I just created it a few days ago!

Unfortunately someone posted a reply from a Slate agent that hinted about them potentially doing just that. Not the app itself, but features within it.

Yes, but only if you believe the numbers are reality. Blaming losses on tariffs seems pretty convenient, don't you think? Be sure to engage your "Dilbert Filter". Number Crunchers produce the number their bosses want them to produce.

EV n00b here. Can't you just program the charger (or the vehicle) to charge at a particular time window? As in: plug it in now, have it start charging when off-peak hours begin?

Now they can get revenue by charging you monthly to keep features unlocked.

Their answer is " Once we release pricing, there will be more info on added accessories."

They reported a net loss of $36 million, of which $800 million came from "adverse net tariff-related impacts" 👆 The corporate version of "the dog ate my homework".

I don't know what "800 million in profit the Ford CO" means. I think what you're calling an annual report was Ford’s Q2 2025 earnings call with investors. According to Ford’s Q2 2025 earnings call with investors, the company posted a record revenue of $50.2 billion with a net loss of $36...

Could be earlier. For example, regular production of the 1984 Corvette (first year of the C4 generation) began on January 3, 1983.

Put another way, a combination of high-profile individual investors, venture capital firms, and investment vehicles tied to prominent business figures, including Jeff Bezos.

Hope springs eternal! 😁

This. For one reason or another they installed the clamps to keep people from closing the frunk. The company is engineering an experience. The experience of futzing with a prop bar is a PITA, so they opted for hassle-free struts.

Read Aphrodite's message to @AKrietzer (a.k.a. John) with Transit Wheels and last-mile assembly of separately-packaged commonly swapped parts in mind.

Last-mile installation of wheels and bumpers does solve the new-versus-used take-off parts issue. The parts would be leave-off, not take-offs. The wheels and bumpers would be new, packaged parts rather than parts that have been installed and removed (new-ish, but no longer new). Stock bumpers...

Seems like you're expecting custom ordering. I don't think that'll be the way things will work. And it's by design, to keep things more simple. I expect mods to happen in the Last Mile, either by a third party or a direct-to-customer customer.

As a trade-off that would restrict maximum wheel-and-tire width. Seems fine the way it's shown now.
