  1. Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    The reason they are still running around is people want them, and they are no longer made. Same with the Dakota. People keep them alive. I don't want no infotainment console Don't want no phone and gps in the dash. I can crank the windows down like my Dakota. I want knobs, not touchscreens
  2. What's the Slate's maintenance like?

    Yes. My current vehicle has 426,000 km on it
  3. What's the Slate's maintenance like?

  8. Clear lenses (side markers, corner lights, tail lights turn signals)

    Sure isn't a deal breaker for me. I'm from the old school where we had single bulbs with double filaments, the 1157 bulb. I plan to remove the black grill over the tail lights as well.
