I'm noticing a pattern. $27,499 is in the "mid 20's" for the price. Christmas Day is "late next year" for production to begin. I presume Kaylee means whatever the upper boundary of "just a few months" is.

I thought of a possible solution for wheels that I'll call "Reusable Transit Wheels". Transit Wheels get installed at the factory and used just for transit. Once your shiny new wheels are installed -- it doesn't matter which ones they are -- the Transit Wheels go back to Warsaw for re-use. If...

I think upgrades will happen locally near you, not in Warsaw, IN.

4'x8' plywood doesn't fit between the fenders, so....

I asked how much weight the Extended Battery option adds to the Truck and how much the Extended Battery option reduces payload capacity Kylee from the Sales Agent Team gave a prompt and courteous reply. Excellent questions! We are just a few months shy of our production and sharing more...

The Project Farm guy tested six Ceramic Coating products. If you want your car's paint job to last a long time, a ceramic coating can make a huge difference. So, the question is, is that $15 coating just as good as one that cost $150? Well, let's find out. [...] Nice to see Griot's Garage...

I did a quick visit to edmunds.com and for a 2021 Mustang Mach-E the extended battery adds $483 to trade-in value $524 to private-party value $565 to dealer retail value Edit: It was a $5,000 option. I'm gonna say resale value may contribute something, but it certainly isn't a good reason on...

And there are some benefits going Standard provides Higher payload capacity Extra distance per kWh Faster acceleration Shorter braking distance Less wear on tires and suspension Better handling

@SlatePossible2028 and @KevinRS, Consider discussing the expiring tax credit, your Slate Truck skepticism, and the Ford T3 truck in threads devoted to those topics, rather than this thread that's about the Extended Battery Decision...

Back to the OT... So far the Battery Buzzkill that surprises me the most is Highway Speed. Check this out: Traveling at highway speeds significantly reduces electric vehicle (EV) range, with studies showing that increasing speed from 55 mph to 75 mph can decrease range by up to 109 miles in...

The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to forego pretentious All-Terrain tires and go the other direction: Lowering Kit, lightweight wheels, and sporty street tires. Some snazzy Bilstein or Koni shocks would kick it up a notch. Driving a zippy Slate with some go-kart qualities would...

Those rails are really useful! For a while, the Nissan Titan bed had an lockable exterior cubby / storage box for storing the accessories that go with the rails. Clever!

This is what I meant by something I wrote previously. Happy customers create more customers. Subsidize the option -> Regret avoided -> Happier Customers -> Long-term $uccess Something like that, anyway.

Back to the Extended Battery decision... I'm compiling a list of Battery Buzzkills in a text document. Here it is so far: Carrying (or towing) extra weight Rolling on alternative tires (All-Terrain tires in particular) Extreme weather conditions (cold in particular) Where you're driving (e.g...

OK one last time... A price is determined by the interaction of supply and demand. Buyers and sellers negotiate based on their willingness to pay, and willingness to accept, a certain amount for the item. A market equilibrium price is not determined by cost of producing the item.

This is self-contradictory.

The bargaining happens over time. Price too low? -> You left money on the table -> Raise price Price too high? -> Product doesn't move -> Lower price Repeating for emphasis: Price is determined by what people will pay, not cost of goods sold. It's more complicated than than for an option like...

Cost doesn't determine price, what people are willing to pay does.

Noticed that. Also wondering why the clamp is there.
