Nice propaganda lol. Same format as the thousands and thousands and thousands of other comments that say the exact same thing across all social media. I've got oceanside property for sale in Nebraska btw

Oh, they are. Well, thats the end of my pre-order. Unless they are made jointly with Allison. I don't trust anything made in China to get me down the road, let alone put my family in

Are those motors Chinese? Thought I saw something about JJE

The 4.0 OHC is awful, but people also avoid that thing like the plague when buying Rangers and explorers. They tend to aim for the other engine options. Electric cars need transmission fluid/gear oil as well in many cases In regards to the $30k civic - the issue is there's a difference...

SUV conversion....costs as much as a used SUV lol. But I do agree its a cool feature. Whatever you just came up with for value doesnt quite make sense, seeing as values for many things rn, especially cars, are heavily inflated, and often influenced by meaningless hype or popularity. Peep the...

The Slate would have less range than most similar trucks and 1500s, and therefore you'd simply be stopping at the charger instead of the pump lol

Slate is cool looking but the drive train is definitely a turn off, if not a compromise. Im one of those that believes the future is mixed market, as both ICE and electric vehicles have their limits. Imo the slate is what electric cars should be - simply useful runabouts with the potential for...

Other than the efficiency advantages of a modern electric drive train over a 25 year old gas one, can you name something the slate does better? Im genuinely curious if ive missed something

I disagree, except with the stimulus check thing thats spot on. In terms of "what Slate does" its a compact electric truck/utility vehicle. Its specifically compared to rhe compact trucks of the 90s and 2000s, to which it has similar payload, a similar or smaller bed, and less towing. For the...

You could buy a used pickup for $5k off of marketplace, if not cheaper, and not spend another $20k on it for the next decade or more, to match the cost of the new slate Thats not knocking the slate, thats just reality. My '03 F150 was like $3500

Yeah people seem to think there's a crazy cost associated with any pickup truck atm. Used trucks all over marketplace for sub $5k and $10k

Its not so much about about "low T" as it is about tapping into other markets that the slate is perfect for. Many people, including myself, don't care for electric cars because they are too often marketed not only as usually expensive, luxurious cars, which gas cars do better, but also because...

To be completely level here, court of public opinion is useless. Its even more useless in the automotive space, and especially so in the "american electric car" space which is dominated by Chinese bots and Tesla whiners. Is the Cybertruck hate worthy? Probably not. Its really no different than...

How many people who actually use trucks as intended do you think respond to Axios polling lol. Pickup truck use is going to vary heavily by region and even state, and use will also vary heavily by age. Not sure who took this poll but its "between 130-1200 f150 owners from 2012-2022" so its...

This. The cybertruck should have been either the...whatever thr crossover they make is, but with a bed (competition for the Santa Cruz and maverick, although the CT was developed before those, I digress) Or, Alternatively, a proper 1500 or 2500 pickup with an actual bed and an actual frame...

This was the laugh I needed this morning. Thank you

The Cybertruck in general just baffles me. They could have sold so many more units had it just been a normal truck of.....some sort? But instead Tesla made some wierd tech bro triangle.

Nah, ya had something to say about attention spans, which i didn't mention in the slightest (although id prefer a long, feature breakdown style commercial)

Where did i say anything like that? Im saying the marketing is off versus the product

I've been looking at more and more at slate's marketing and commercials, and im convinced they've got it completely wrong. Let me explain my logic here. What is a Slate truck? What is the Premise of it? A Slate truck is a basic, affordable, RWD, compact modular pickup. It has the ability to...
