I had a friend who routinely spray painted his car with latex paint from Home Depot. It didn't last long and would start peeling off, but he didn't care. It was cheep and gave him practice with his spray gun. :)

I was going to suggest removing the passenger seat but @Driven5 beat me to it. I have a couple of 70# labs both in their early to mid teens. They take the entire back bench seat and still get in each other's way. They do better in the SUV with the back seat down... I'd need a topper on the truck...

As per usual... I'm looking for the cheapest new EV that can tow. Is this EV3 GT cheap? Can the EV3 GT tow?

That's my point though. A fully thought out answer to that one question would easily take the whole 10 minutes, likely more, and require a bunch of charts and infographics... and entirely too much of the engineers' time.

:) True... I fixed it now so neither will get a bad wrap (hopefully). :)

I can't help but wonder; maybe somebody here knows. When Ford announced the Lightning and took pre-orders, did they ever send an email to those people explicitly asking for questions?

Something to think about from Slate's perspective... They sent a mass email to some 150k+ people who ponied up $50 dollars asking for questions. They got 4000 questions. That's about 2.7% (although some people, like me, likely submitted multiple questions). I don't know what that really means...

I received my answer email in which they said that they will be in Florida but "Specific locations and dates haven't been finalized yet..." As a side note, I also asked about timing (i.e., when they expect to make the price more precise than "mid-20s") and was told "closer to when ordering...

I have seen several comments about people not liking Chris Barman's Q&A video, and I think these comments are unfair. Slate received thousands of questions; expecting Chris to give serious and considered answers to all of them, especially in a YouTube video, is incredibly unrealistic. Expecting...

Sadly, considering they haven't even considered (AFAICT) an event down to Florida, I can only assume that it will be one of the last regions that will see deliveries no matter where my reservation is in line.

My requirements have not changed... I'm looking for the cheapest new EV that can tow. So far, nothing else even comes close. Hell, even a new ICE vehicle that can tow costs at least as much.

Doug reviewed the Telo truck and not only is that a prototype, they have fewer prototypes than Slate has.

And that's exactly my point. What they have said right now is 150 miles usable range. You said yourself that in order to do your calculation, you need the max range. I'm telling you, you don't know the max range because they haven't announced it.

But that's the very problem I pointed out... We don't know the "manufacturer's max advertised range" because slate has not said what that is. They have posted that the usable range is 150 miles. If that assumes working the battery from 80% to 20%, then it would mean the max range is actually...

I just asked another question... Will the truck's communication system with the app have a publicly available API so that other's can write apps using it? If so, I will for sure be writing an app.

I remember seeing a closeup of the "app" during the post launch press event on some YouTube channel. It was clearly just a bunch of images in a slide show.

I think you are thinking too advanced. My 2015 Kia can lock/unlock doors with the fob, no wifi needed. Having the fob turn the HVAC on/off from a button also doesn't require wifi. That would give you the ability to turn on the climate control remotely, but not change the temperature. That...

My understanding is that when the rear window and bottom panel is removed, the roll bar is needed for structural integrity. Presumably, the cargo kit would not entail removing that bottom panel...

Looking at the mockups that have been shown, there isn't going to be any sort of remote anything through the phone (no wifi), or any climate controls (the hardware buttons aren't going to be auto-rotating.) The fob does seem to have a "precondition" button on it though. Likely, the app's...

I asked about when we will get a more precise price for the truck and prices for the accessories.
