Small 4x4 van

That's not that easy. They need people with certain skill sets. Hiring itself is a demanding process, ask HR in any large organisation. Some people have contracts which need to expire ("yep I can work for you 3 months from now"). People need relocation, because local talent is most likely not...

That also makes it difficult to upgrade the battery once new technology options (LFP, Sodium-ion) are avalaible. I assumed they will apply same design logic as to interior, making a battery a stand alone unit. BMS can be easily reprogrammed to accommodate different battery types and sizes, it's...

As parent said, range is dependent on capacity of battery/tank, not an useful parameter. The key parameter is drag coefficient: 1994 Toyota truck has 0.44, modern Tacoma 0.39, first Chevy Bolt 0.32, new Tesla 3 - 0.22. That makes hell of a difference in terms of energy use. In the city this...

It's very difficult to predict future battery prices with all this tariffs kerfuffle. I believe thats a biggest concern here, the LFP technology is there and gonna become cheaper with time anyway. However, you gonna pay for raw materials no matter what. The problem is also what's avalaible on NA...

For a daily driver I just bought a car made in 2001. That's a much younger car than my previous daily driver (same make and model) made in 1998. Which was younger from my previous daily made in 1997 (same made and model, I bought it in 2007, so it was already 10yo). Those previous two cars...

It's just like any wagon with rear seats removed. No. There is a reason why Transit Connect looks The way it look. The van has to has sliding side door for easy curb unload, and as low bed as possible because lifting is difficult. Also needs as much capacity as possible, thats why cab forward...

Putting speakers standard on pickup but not SUV doesn't make much sense to me

I would rather bet on a van. Reasonable priced small van may be a fleet king

Told ya! There will be other builds as well. Extended is just another module, double?

I hope they will go for full 120W USB-C outlets...

This was a factory solution to spare wheel problem on FSO Syrena Bosto. I believe a wheel mount fitting the roof rack will be quite a popular accessory

I would rather say it's a "Gelenda", Mercedes G-class. Which where I live has a very specific clientele, gangsta wannabe and the likes, and is always in gloss black with blacked windows.

This forum is terrible place for market research. There is only two or three dozens of active users, posting content. We are fanboys of the brand, hooked to the idea, very specific audience profile. They already have us. But they need a lot of people, who are not us.

Yes, I live in Warsaw, capital of Poland. That's what it is :) I know, it will be a long time until Slate makes it to Europe...

I'm pretty sure that's already in the making. It would be stupid not to do that. I'm also pretty sure Long Wheelbase version, 4 door capable, is already being planned. I also believe small van based on same concept would be a bestseller in fleet market, and would be surprised if Slate was not...

Why that much fixation on towing capacity? In Europe we very rarely use trailers. I drive a car for 30+ years, my daily driver is without a hitch, my campervan has one, but I never ever used it. What you guys are hauling? Boats and cars? Are you all constructors? Everything I need to take...
