I think part of this problem is people seeing discourse as "Defending". Maybe Scooter's response wasn't for me, but if the Slate is bad, then it's bad. If it's good, it's good. It has one thing going for it that I prioritize very highly over other manufacturers at least. Maverick and Fathom...

Assuming that it's not just communicating preference to Slate.

I've got some fuses to replace (my fuse pullers I bought suck, first time I've needed to do this), and some bulbs. That's about it.

Man, inflation sucks. Mini in 2014, at ~$18k, turns into $25.4 this year.

But what if I manage a fleet of one? Just asking.

We knew they were intending to add power windows but failed for some unknown reason. (Be it time or cost.) The consideration was there and it may be an option later, but to your point, that's looking forward with no concrete evidence. The truck starts with "truck stuff on the cheap" is how I...

At least that's a choice. I can opt to leave my phone at home, off, or use an alternative mapping option.

Why? All of these seem like convenience and not for the purpose of moving something. If people want to add it, cool. But if I'm okay without power windows and it saves me $200, that's a useful option to me. Additionally, do we even know how side mirrors are adjusted? Haven't seen...

I'm not defending on the basis of people "not getting it" but misrepresented facts, usually in the assumption of requiring dedicated internet connectivity or built in systems get a rise of of me, and privacy issues are probably the biggest thing that sets me off about other options. I am...

If a truck/car is labeled a "lifestyle" vehicle... I'm inclined to not want it. (Based on that description..)

Well articulated arguments. Just looking back at the Lightning, I don't feel like the Fathom is a real product they wanted to release and we'll see it go through the same lifecycle.

I already have a navigation solution. It's in my pocket. Every. [Bananabread]ing. Day. Don't have to leave it in the truck, and I bring it in when I need it. Why spend the extra money on something to leave in the truck that is one more thing to fix and one more thing to steal?

"Recommendations: In-car spying to make sure the driver is paying attention, changes to Blue Cruise to improve Driver Attention" The whole point of the system is to not require driver attention.To make it so the driver doesn't have to.. y'know.. drive.

I keep seeing this phrase "Lifestyle Vehicle". What the [FARG] does that even mean and why does it matter?

I don't have an issue with striking up conversations about what Slate is, what they're doing (and frankly the conversation around Re:Build will probably be the most interesting part). That said, I'm not about to put myself into a contractual obligation of any kind that requires me to be a...

Boy, the news cycles and everything are really getting me to take an even dimmer view on Ford overall this past week. Perhaps it's just that my gut says Ford can't deliver well nor what I want and prioritize and what Ford wants is not what the market wants.

AH! Ahhh! He made the pun! I dealt with that without AC in the first place for many a year. Do we have to do it now? No, but it isn't the end of the world. Open a door, open a window, let it air out for a few minutes and go. That said, the important part is choice. Make it modular and that...

Yup, similar stance as I have. I just wish the conversation had more about how the big current players screw you over the long term. "You get the Blooz Crooz".. yeah, but at what cost? $50/month and a file of every single trip you take that no other business has a right to have data on but gets...

Ah, yes. Thanks. I've watched through that one. There are some comparisons that make me scratch my head as it doesn't keep it like-for-like, but still interesting to hear the perspective and past experience.

Which one? As much as I am unhappy with Ford, I do like to know what's going on so I can keep options open.
