    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    I used to watch Doug Demuro's videos quite often as I found his car "reviews" informative and entertaining. However, it suddenly dawned on me that most of his opinions are just that, opinions that don't apply to many normal people who use the car on the daily. He would nitpick really trivial...

    Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?
