    Slate Wrap PPF or Vinyl?

    Is the cost of the SUV Kit a turn-off?

    Seems a little pricey for a vehicle that was announced as affordable. With that additional cost you’re getting into current e-SUV price range. I was looking for something more toward $3-3.5k.

    Amazon should make a tablet with GPS

    Not too big of an ask. Tesla has had that feature form years now. It would add some cost to the truck though.
