  1. Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    But also it's a simple EV, that's not locking features behind apps and paywalls. And not overly engineered to fail after one plastic piece (hopefully). If I can do any repairs myself, it's already a buy in my book, being able to charge for free at work and home/solar is just added benefit
  2. Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    The day I preordered my Maverick was the day I said I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a Toyota pickup that gets 40mpg+... But somehow still nothing
  3. Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    Heck, if there was battery extenders to just throw in the bed, I'd use those for longer road trips
  7. User replaceable/upgradeable battery?

    I'm not saying that they should publish DIY instructions, but that the engineering behind it would be more user conscious. Unlike say Tesla where you have to rip out the entire interior to get to the batteries. There's also quick disconnects for wiring and no leak quick disconnects for cooling...
  8. User replaceable/upgradeable battery?

    I know it won't be as easy to modify as say the backseats/panels. But the one feature that would make me keep an EV forever would be being able to replace the battery pack reasonably easy in a garage maybe with some help. I'm curious how complex this would be on the slate
