Same, maybe with just a few niceties like Door Cubbies (convenience) and Front Light Upgrade (safety). Probably the under-dash speaker holder too (infotainment). If it wasn't necessary to upgrade the front and rear bumpers in order to get Fog Lights I'd get those too (if the Fog Lights are...

Upon reflection my previous post came off more pessimistic that I intended. Dirt bikes weigh less than half what my bike weighs and they're about a foot shorter. One of those would be easy to put in the bed of a Slate. Also, that beefy rental trailer is way heavier than a typical motorcycle...

I think Slate is trying to have their cake and eat it too. Maybe I'm doing some Confirmation Bias here, but I think a lot of Slate owners will get a little gray truck and just happily drive it around. Personally things like Wheel Decals, Charms for the Dashboard Vents, and (especially)...

That's workable for a dirt bike, but pushing my 500-pound bike that's 7' 3" long up a ramp (which I'd need to buy and then store) and into the 5-foot bed of the Slate wouldn't be a trivial task, even considering the low entry height. OTOH trailer rental is $15 and it's drop-dead easy to put the...

I got curious about whether I could tow my motorcycle (480 lbs) with a rented trailer from U-Haul, which is something I've done before. AI Query: How much does a trailer for a motorcycle from U-Haul weigh? Response: A U-Haul motorcycle trailer weighs approximately 870 pounds empty. This trailer...

Mitra Chem (the company in my Shot/Chaser post) makes "cathode products", which I think are what goes inside cells, not the cells themselves. I should have been more clear about that. Chamath Palihapitiya, one of the four venture capitalists who are on the All-In Podcast, is on the Mitra Chem...

I'll expound... TL;DR: When battery technology improves you can cram more readily-available electrons into the same space. The drill I'm referring to is a Sears. I upgraded to a Bosch years ago. If you use drills very much you've discovered that having two drills is better than having only one...

This happened for my electric drill.

Not a Bronco II, but close.

That 2nd-Gen Bronco should have a bimini top.

And there could be some sort of snap-on mirror for towing.

Good catch! Didn't notice that. TL;DR: I expect aero mirrors because side-views create significant drag. I remember seeing in a video where Tesla spent a lot of time designing their sid-view mirrors to be aerodynamic. The upshot was that side-view mirrors impose a lot more aerodynamic drag...

As an EV n00b this is good to know. My EV experience is with a golf cart. I can count on two fingers the times I almost didn't make it home because I bit off a little more distance than the state-of-charge could chew. In the cart I always bring along the charger and an extension cord "just in...

+1 for wanting to see a Timelapse GIF of the conversion process.

TL;DR: Will the Fastback Top be more "aero" than the squared-off top? I think "Fastback" originally got it name from being more aerodynamic and helping a car, well, go fast. Behold the Mustang Fastback with its nearly-horizontal rear window: Apparently a normal squared-off topper is...

I've seen somewhere that the Squareback SUV Top has a removable roof panel. Is it the same with the Fastback top? Also, it sure would be nice if the side windows have a hinged pop-open feature for ventilation.

Or just go. All you need is the key. This. I've owned small pickups and want another one.

Picture angle could have been better for showing that.

I stand corrected. I saw"solid axle" as traditional solid axle. Does it need to have a solid rear axle to be a truck? Definitely not. If so, the Slate Truck isn't a truck qualifies. FTFY 😀

On second thought I suppose "unibody" has multiple meanings. I'm not sure what @cvollers has in mind. Behold the 1961 Ford F-100 Unibody Pickup: ^^ Looks like a truck to me. AI Query: If a motor vehicle is "unibody" what does that mean? Response: A "unibody" vehicle means that the body and...
