I’d bet you are right. Typically rotating crank forward lowers window and rotating backwards raises windows. If they are going to use same regulator in both doors they should standardize on drivers side regulators. Drivers side window will be operated the most by a large margin.

Maverick Thunder.(heard this on a podcast recently)

The thing about the Bolt and the Leaf is they are not pick-up form factors. Right now a small EV pick-up doesn’t exist but it looks like Slate will be first to market with one. In 2 weeks Slate had 100k reservations, 3 more months have lapsed since then and I be they have a whole lot more than...

And it wouldn’t meet CAFE standards.

The ‘Model T Moment’ seems to be a direct response to Slate coming on the scene. I realize Ford built the Model T but the only mention of Model T in last decade is Slate comparisons to Model T and VW Beetle. I hope one of the variants is a compact pick-up. I don’t think Ford making a Nissan...

I think Tesla’s are notoriously expensive to repair. I recently switched back to USAA and was able to get the 2018 Tesla insurance within a few dollars of the 2022 Leaf. The big factor that USAA recognized to reduce the Tesla rate was the fact that we can remotely track the car if it were...

Sorry to hear. We'll be getting my wife a Y when she gets tired of her 2018 Model 3. I envision the Slate to be a 2nd car not the primary. It will be interesting to see what the stripped down Model Ys list for in Q4. Some YT videos are saying 20% less.

Most autos ship via rail from the plant to regional mixing centers where they are subsequently loaded on trucks for the last mile. The rail carrier that services the Warsaw plant has more auto plants on its network than any other railroad in the US.

All of my prior pick-ups have had them. The last being a 2019 Colorado. For hauling dirt bikes they are a lot more stable when the tie down is in the stake pocket versus the loops welded into the bed. When using the in bed loops your straps end up being too parallel to the forks and allow the...

How about stake pockets? On prior pick-ups, I’ve mounted tie down anchors into the the stake pockets.

Capacity of the battery shouldn't change. During cold weather you are consuming extra energy to maintain the temperature of the battery as well as heating the cabin, running defrost, seat heaters and the like which should all show up in your efficiency numbers.

Lets add Georgia to the list of states for early ship also. I live in Atlanta and have only seen a 16.5% degradation in efficiency from my most efficient month(July) and my least efficient month(January) Vehicle Month Miles Driven kWh Charged Miles/kWh Nissan Leaf January 2592 775.3405997...

It is odd in this video that they don't raise the rear glass to aid in loading the back of the SUV. I am beginning to think that this glass is fixed in both the SUV and the pick-up. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1A5EFa8UQx/

Although a long bed offers more utility, I’ve always preferred the look of a short bed. I’ll leave the tailgate down and tie things in securely when I need extra length.

Is that at the cell level or pack level?

Another advantage of partnering with Carvana is they would be able to handle trades and likely financing as well. Heck Slate is marketing themselves as competition for used cars might as well partner with a used car superstore. I sold a 2019 Chevy Colorado to Carvana in early 2022. Very easy...

It’s also Overdo.

I just want a small EV pick-up. I think Slate will make it to production before Telo. I would be happy with either the Slate or the Telo. Without a small EV pick-up on the market, I’ll continue to rent pick-ups when I need one and driving my Nissan Leaf as a daily driver. I will not own...

I like the Monroe, Midas, Meinicke brake and muffler shops. They are going to need work to replace muffler and brakes. Doing upfit work would be a good fit for them.

As an owner of a 150 mile range EV for the last 3-1/2 years, I'd recommend against purchasing a 150 mile range EV if your only means to charge the vehicle is DC fast charging. Not only is it not cost effective you are going to spend a lot of time at DC fast chargers waiting for your car to...
