EPA EV range testing includes testing in 95*F and 20*F.

Any range estimate is going to be their EPA range goal. So yes, with the smaller battery expect under 100 miles in normal use. Also consider cold weather, and battery degradation over time if you plan to keep the truck for a while.

150k is a bold forecast. For comparison, the Ford Maverick which is generally seen as a success only sold 131k in the US last year. There's only so much market share for a smaller truck, EV or ICE. Telo, GMs Colorado & Canyon EVs and Scout will also be hitting the market at the same time.

Just to make sure everyone realizes, you are not winning a free truck. Just the chance to see your design on a pre-production vehicle (and the trip to the HQ and other merchandise).

A member in the Facebook group confirmed with Slate that there is no heat pump

The problem for Slate is that they're trying to pass a bill requiring that AM radio remains in cars, which would definitely mean that FM would be available. Although I do wonder if there is a loophole that this won't apply if radio is not available in the vehicle to begin with...

If you're referring to the last generation Tacoma that has the worst interior comfort I've ever experienced. You're almost sitting on the floor. Blows my mind how many people bought them for their reliability but had to put up with that every day.

The chassis is unibody so I have to assume it is being assembled in-house. Meaning they would have to have an in-house coating process of some kind.

I'd like to do a wrap, but not if it's only going to last a few years. Will this make a wrap last with regular upkeep?

SEMA is only open to people in the industry.

This information is usually available to aftermartket businesses. Will be interesting to see what they make available to the public. I expect this to make a big splash at the SEMA show in November next year.

This Motortrend reviewer is 6'10" and still fit. :CWL:

For those that do no plan to wrap your trucks, protecting the plastic panels from UV damage will be a concern. Let's get the discussion going on recommended products. 303 Graphene Coatings looks like a good option https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/B07D4300-E62A-483F-B049-4949E6136092

The radio in my pickup died a few years ago so I am literally already riding around with a phone mount and a bluetooth speaker. The only feature that I have not seen yet that I want is a tonneau cover.

Unfortunately, as of now there is no heat pump. Only a resistance heater.

I would like to use a tablet, but would need to come up with a quick easy way to hide it. I am also concerned about temperature extremes if leaving it in there. Car interiors can hit 150F or more in the summer. Because of that I'll probably stick to the phone. From Apple: iPad is designed to...

Not having to deal with engine rpm, transmission etc. Much more precise control of the power application with an EV.

One of the reviews I watched mentioned that they are using NMC for their batteries. I'm actually surprised/disappointed they don't have an LFP option. But it seems efficiency isn't this thing's strong suit considering the battery kWh capacity so they had to go for the most energy density.
