Yes.
Not just to do it, maybe, but to do it well, yes.
This reinforces my point.
If it were easy to do TradeMotion wouldn't need to exist.
This.
Yes.

PD is becoming ubiquitous.
More and more gizmos use PD power these days. I have a portable projector that does, for example. Fans, lights, drones, party speakers, ...
Think of practically anything that comes with an AC-to-DC adapter. In the future it'll likely be PD powered.
Edit: Left one...
The reason it came to mind is because probably 10 out of the last 10 times I've seen and accessory plugged into a vehicle's 12V Accessory outlet the accessory was a USB adapter.
It would be a mistake to outsource the Accessories Marketplace to Amazon, with the possible exception of using them for fulfillment (warehouse and ship) only if that's something Amazon would do.
Again, what are the several 2027 EVs you will be able to get for that, and what are their prices?
I'm calling BS on this, however you have an opportunity to prove me wrong by listing the several EVs and their prices.
Personally I want a Small Pickup, not an econobox Transportation Appliance from a dealership, so for me the prices of the Leaf and Bolt are irrelevant.
The 2-door compact pickup form factor is my predominant reason, but there are lots of other reasons. @Kopsis listed a few. Here are a few more...
The ideal price will be whatever price sells all of the Blank Slates they can produce at full production capacity. This price has a name: it's the market-clearing price.
If they price it lower there will be a shortage, meaning some forgone profits. On the Bright Side the Blank Slate would have...
It's impossible for a penultimate question to be the only question.
Your answer is that somewhere near 150,000 American auto buyers per year when they reach full production.
The reason is because way fewer than 1% of vehicles sold need to be be Blank Slates for the company to sell every Blank...
In a general sense, security needs to be designed in as a high priority from the very beginning of a project like that.
I doubt the maker site was developed to have extreme security from the very beginning because it doesn't need high security to do what it does.
Two knobs, a panel with numbers and a pointer, and some "radio buttons" comprise a good interface for a car radio.
These days maybe add a button for selecting among Radio/Aux/Bluetooth.
I'm sure a Marketplace site will work symbiotically with it, but what they need is have something different enough to build from scratch.
The maker is a marketing tool. What they need is a full-on e-commerce engine.
Maybe both?
Working for you and working for Slate don't need to be mutually exclusive.
I'm still hanging in suspense about what happens to bumpers and stock wheels and tires if someone upgrades from the get-go.
I don't think we have, have we?
They used b be used for cigarette lighters before they were 12V Accessory ports.
In that case you apparently misunderstand what Slate's ethos of Radical Simplicity is actually about.
