Hmmmm, maybe a way to make it look fast?

Going from my Tundra 1794 Crew so we should average out.

I guess we all go thru various stages, age, location, reason for driving, etc. I’ve had my times of 75+ (not admitting to anything more). Man, that MB S500 was sweet on the interstate. Now, here, living on an island where 80 is a major infraction (reckless driving, driving to endanger), poking...

Was thinking, I might even print up a little info card to pass out.

And I’m willing to talk 😁

when I took Drivers Ed in HS all the DE cars were MT. funny as my parent’s vehicles were AT. When I son learned to drive, we had a 72 VW bug MT. his daughter has never driven a MT.

That’s my point, won’t see the Toyota in 2026, maybe not even 2027, well after I expect to have my Slate.

My guess is the population of manual transmission drivers is shrinking.

Small Toyota EV pu available 2026 under 30k, definitely a tough call.

Because the choice isn’t sale vs no sale, it’s less profitable sale vs more profitable sale. More and more people seek immediate gratification and will rationalize spending more instead of delay.

Wouldn’t make economic sense to me. But I would willingly be an early adopter Ambassador. Hmm, 3 days each Kauai, Oahu, Maui, they pay transport for my Slate, my hotel and a meal, then ship home to Big Island and I’ll give them more show and tell. They couldn’t do any cheaper.

TBH, not expecting the tour to get here - ever.

I’d say locally, the market is heavily weighed to the dealer. Either accept what is on the lot, hope something inbound fits your wants, or special order and wait. A good friend has a Lightning on order, told 8 months. When were looked at Sequoias was told, most likely a year unless something...

Probably just me, but I find it particularly annoying so much info has to lead off with a negative title, but with no substance to back up the negativity.

I’m assuming there will be a compensation model for Delivery Partners, hopefully something controlled by Slate and not the “fleece em for all you can get” dealership model.

Some things can carry forward.

I find the concept of SUV topper without the seats/rollbar especially intriguing if the top is easily removable.

If I couldn’t use the credit until placed in service, I’d still do it.

Likely smaller group than the awd wannahaves.

Good point and bound to happen, but with their philosophy I would expect an attempt to make some new stuff back compatible.
