For primarily SUV use I dont love it. But if you are primarily using it as a truck, but sometimes want to take more people then the value could be there.

it was a chargepoint charger. Some chargepoints charge you by the hour once you are done charging. I did not know this at the time.

Thats not true. Power is V * A. If no amps are flowing there is no power. Voltage is a bit like water pressure, and you can have pressure with no flow. When you turn the spigot on you now have flow (current). So no, I guarantee you are not outputting 1500w no matter what.

I dont know how much gear, but in the the frunk. But if you have a 1 year old maverick, it doesnt make sense to get a slate. You would be losing a lot of money.

we have a PHEV with 55 miles. The L1 charger isnt really enough for us. It only charges about 30 miles overnight. This means that you cant drive more than 60 miles every two days. The L2 charger can charge 25-30 miles in an hour or two. Power is Volts X A, so double or triple the amps and...

I dont think this is true. Both my mercedes phev and my bolt euv came with chargers multiple multiple plugs (for 120 and 240)

I like the scout erev conceptually. But I simply wont pay that much for any car. For me erev is ideal. You can use gas, but you have only a single drivetrain. The gas generator gets to run at an optimal RPM and can be smaller than what is necessary to power the car. I personally try to pay 30K...

I charged an ev at a hotel lot once. Apparently you start getting fines if you stay after the car is charged. It cost $30 to charge about 40 miles of range.

We drive to dallas, houston, and port aransas about 8 times a year. We do a 1 month, long distance trip once a year to california. If I pick up my parents to go eat that is 7 people. For me this means gas minivan. No matter what EV proponents say (a little bit like public transport advocates)...

Slate is an in town truck. It clearly is not meant to regularly go large distances between cities. I dont think EVs for longer trips work, so Ill have a gas minivan to complement the slate.

Would get a 23-25K stripped down maverick. If the ford mystery EV truck materializes that would be an option too

The great thing is both solutions exist. This is why the slate model is good. I would never buy a 1500 radio, ever. Except Im forced to buy one in most cars car play aftermarket radios exist for 100-200. You can get fine speakers for 25-50. If you want an amplifier you can get a cheap one for...

you have to search nationwide. If you pay cash it is more, but if you add up the payments it is about 24K

LOL. You literally just said, if the slate is 31K you are better off buying a $69k cybertruck. This might actually be true for you. But for most of us we would pay extra for the small size. You have this idea that bigger is better. But historically speaking miniaturization often times costs...

try searching autotrader for new mavericks, nationwide. You can get one for 23K

If you search autotrader, new nationwide, you can get a maverick xl for 23K

they constantly mention radio and power windows and the allude to a bunch of other things, but never mention them. Power windows and a radio will probably be under $350. So maybe the truck is 25350 with power windows and a radio. the two features they keep mentioning wont necessarily cost that...

I know they are not trucks, but I can get an ebike for cheaper than the slate. If a non-truck works for you, then you should buy a non-truck if a non-ev works for you then buy a non ev. If you need an ev truck, the slate is the cheapest option.

This is 100% not true. During the last big fuel crisis (around 2010) people were dumping big trucks and resale value on big trucks dropped. I personally wanted a tacoma, but they were actually more expensive than tundras so I ended up getting a tundra. The buying market absolutely moves to more...

The OP wrote this: This is the "honor" of doing things a harder way, even if it results in a poorer outcome. My point is they are already using wordpress which is a huge platform that already does a ton of things. Using wordpress but not plugins/AI is some artificial line that isnt logical.
