    Amazon should make a tablet with GPS

    But then is the real question will it be left in the car. If it is a purpose built unit makes sense. In my case I would likely take it out and with me. From the looks of the mounts in the prototypes theft would be easy.

    If out have an IPhone and an IPad with latest IOS when you connect from the IPad to the IPhone using hotspot you can see the map in mirror mode. Which gets you the GPS from the phone.

    Nissan rolls out new 3rd generation Leaf. 300 mile range.

    Normally I would and yes, you are correct. Moore‘s law is the one. But the way things are going right now with all the political noise. I think I’ll stick with Murphy’s Law.

    This might be a Drag on Slates success.

    And the price is more…not so much a threat. Ford should be more worried than Slate

    Article: Ram CEO: Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up

    When selling anything especially something new like the Slate truck going up in price is painfully hard down in price is remarkably easy. Particularly if you have a lot of margin in your vehicle. My bet is that slate has a lot of margin.

    What Would You Do if The Slate Truck Does Not Manifest?

    This question sent my imagination to overdrive. My plan is to replace a MINI Cooper S EV with the Slate. Then I remembered John Cooper made a MINI pickup Photo of one. Maybe I could cut the back open and have a truck. Then reality returned and I will drive the wheels off the MINI.

    Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    I asked and the answer for now was ‘not at this time’. I would love a factory pickup. Rivian does it. Many other MFG do it. Lots of good prior suggestions.
