    Still Leary of getting my Slate

    @E90400K - Nearly every thread I've read on this forum where you've participated you've taken this adversarial stance to someone or something. You stick on that topic no matter what, and you make claim after claim, without any real supporting evidence. It's annoying. You are a troll. I boomer...

    🤦‍♂️ that’s what I meant. Mistyped.

    Somewhere I read, or hear them say, it isn’t big enough for two carry-on size bags. That’s a lot junk in that frunk!

    I would like a Turbo button, just like on computers in the 80s/90s.

    Mine was a 1980-something Buick Skyhawk. Basically, a Chevy Cavalier. It was beat-up, had passed through other family members. But it was wheels that got me around, and helped get to work at the grocery store to save money and buy the next thing. The engine on this thing would spit oil back into...

    Very much understood. You were right, and I am no longer engaging.

    How Long Till Delivery

    I don't know about the Bolt specifically, many of the Chevy/GM cars are fairly easy to pull the OnStar module out. It does not take away OTA via WiFi if you connect to your home WiFi, and WiFi can still be an avenue of security/privacy risk.

    This is in no way in support of the dealership model. Not even a little. In fact, I agree with pretty much everything you said, so this is just sharing a thought as I read your post. I think the one area of service profit, that is if Slate when a dealership route, would be in the...

    Worst-case Scenario Range Estimates for each battery type (my calculations)

    Interesting. Can hardly wait to hear more. I lean extended simply because when I leave my small city, it is always more than a 150 mile round trip, and most often less than 220 miles. The vast majority of the time, though, I’m around town and could do that daily for probably 10-days and stay...

    @E90400K doesn’t know how to emotionally handle not being the smartest most bestest boi in the room. Just smile an nod and move on. It’s clear you’re a team of one, raging about opinions that have zero backing of anything even resembling relevant data to the discussion, and you’ve lost. Just...

    Earlier, you wrote… That, sir. Is pulling out of thin air. Yes, today’s standards do essentially delegitimization non-standard ratings from the past. They can’t truly be compared without knowing the standard. However, that does not mean that the ratings of old were: A) made up, like you...

    So are you a structural and/or automotive engineer? Do you really think a tow rating is just a made up number that they can pick out of thin air? I'm pretty positive that a tow rating has some engineering behind it and it has that rating for a reason. EDIT: I'll add this for education purposes...

    Links to 3M 2080 series colors wraps and brochures for our Slate wrapping

    Oh there was definitely some sagging in there, some muted colors as the eyes degrade, etc. LoL. Speaking as a middle aged person, I can say the eye degradation is a real pain. Those damned crows feet creeping in, and the ever so slight start of the wrinkles on my hands as the elasticity starts...

    What you seem to fail to understand is that this is not a truck for everyone in every situation, and was never intended to be. If you listen to the interviews with all the players, it is clear they have a target market. The people you speak of are simply not in their wheel house, and I think...

    Commercial does not mean contractor/construction work site. Commercial can be a fleet of local delivery trucks for smaller loads. Local use of a truck for workers to get to various sites with some gear that is too bug for a car, and still not so heavy or large that a $50,000 truck is warranted...

    Thread came up about replacing the battery on a BMW X5

    Any gamers in here? The way so many industries are going is exactly like the in-game micro transaction crap that has ruined a large swath of the gaming industry. It's terribly annoying. Enshitification.

    It's purpose built. That purpose was not for towing and hauling. It was built for customization, minimalism, and a market where the vast majority of truck owners never haul or tow a damned thing. They didn't make this for a worksite.
