The only problem is that if you don't add in a GPS receiver, you won't know where they went. You'll know mileage, but the Slate doesn't have GPS or a cellular connection.

Even if they do have an API that the general public has access to, it will also likely be limited in what you can access from the API. If they gave us that access, my guess is that the API we would get would be informational only and not allow you to set cruise control (for example). Not saying...

I haven't driven a car made in the last 30 years that made me uncomfortable driving at 80+ mph. I even drove my 1993 Ford Lightning on the autobahn back in 2005 while stationed in Germany. The main thing that kept me from going faster was that I could watch my fuel gauge go down over 80. That...

You don’t actually need virtual machines to test different platforms. You can use each platform’s developer kit to see how the app behaves. From a development perspective, the bigger challenge is making sure a web app scales properly on mobile devices. That said, my main concern is security...

Currently, there is no federal EV rebate. Any available rebates would come from either state programs or vehicle manufacturers.

The forward button does exist though. On Android you tap the three dots and iOS is in the bottom left corner.

The 7500 was a tax credit, so the original price was always in the mid-twenties.

The amount of energy required to charge the battery is essentially the same regardless of whether you use Level 1 or Level 2. What changes is efficiency, not the total energy in a meaningful way. Level 2 charging operates at a higher voltage, which allows the same power to be delivered with...

I'm willing to bet entry level will be between 50-55k.

Nobody else was poor wording on my part, what I meant by nobody else was the manufacturers, not necessarily us as the consumer

I'm curious what EV trucks you and others are talking about that this competes against? I can't think of a single EV truck under 40k new. Is it competing against other less expensive EV cars and SUVs? Maybe, but someone who is looking for a truck isn't cross-shopping with SUVs and sedans. And if...

If they use Blurtooth 5.x, they could get nearly 300M of range in ideal situations and that standard has been around since 2016. While I've not been at that range I have had times were ive been 300 feet from my phone and still had Bluetooth connection, but I also had direct line of sight to the...

I love reading all this speculation you guys are doing with absolutely 0 information about why the change was made. Don't mind me, I'll just sit back and eat my popcorn.

That was the case for my 2012 370Z as well. So does my 2023 WRX. So I wouldnt be surprised if the Slate has one hidden as well.

If watching gas prices has taught me one thing, it is that people like their cars. When I started driving, it was $1.10. You would think that at some point people would start buying more fuel efficient cars, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The vast majority get the large SUV or truck...

Until the truck is released and that is verified, I'll be in the wait and see camp. As far as activity goes, CB isn’t nearly as popular as it used to be, but it’s still used. I had one in a Nissan Frontier when I was stationed out in El Paso. When the conditions were right, you could pick up...

The connection is that vehicles like the F-series can easily last 10+ years when properly maintained, yet they’ve remained top sellers for decades. Longevity has never prevented strong sales. The same logic applies to the Slate or any other vehicle. While some owners keep vehicles for 10+ years...

In an EV, towing and payload limits are usually set by the drivetrain and battery, not the suspension or brakes. Heavy loads push motors and the battery to their thermal and electrical limits, and sustained high current can overheat components or stress the battery dangerously. With the Slate...

I have two thoughts. The first is to use NGP Antenna kit for the radios. It would be easiest. The other thought I had was if the roof is removable in the way the side panels look to be, I could remove the roof and put a large sheet of aluminum under it. Then I could bolt the antenna base through...

You would think that, yet the F series was the best selling vehicle in America for 42 years (1982-2023) straight and then again in 2025. It has been the best selling truck for nearly 50 years straight.
