It does seem they have updated the maker with at least some interior options. I also don't remember there being a power window option that replaces the crank with a sunglasses holder.

Just a 4 cent difference, out of 10, is a 40% difference, I'm wondering how much of that 6 cents per mile is in tires, and what the remaining breaks down to. lets see, at 100,000 miles, 10 cents per mile is $10,000 in maintenance, compared to $6,000 for the EV. Just thinking how my versa...

They are at least putting it on the table that they may build a lower cost truck, so if Slate really starts getting traction in the next year and is a hit, they can join in.

I think most of those are planned for some time in around 6 months to a year. Not sure on 3 as to how they would do it.

Exactly, and Slate appears to be something EVs were supposed to be from the start. The non-refundable tax credit just meant you needed at least 75k of taxable income if you've got nothing but the standard deduction, no retirement, etc, to even be able to get the full amount, so automakers went...

Part of the problem comparing to the hypothetical ford or toyota trucks is if they happen at all, it sounds like they will be a year behind slate, if that. We've heard only what their target starting price may be, and approximate overall sizes. They haven't even officially released a concept...

In my case, the issue is there is nothing but the single GFCI circuit to the garage, possibly another leg could be pulled through the wall from the living room, but then that circuit is powering like half the other outlets in the house. I think short of running a new circuit from the panel, and...

Just what "creature comforts"? Infotainment, paint? don't care about those, in fact the infotainment is kind of a liability, gets out of date and expensive to replace if it stops working.

That's actually how it works on the maker, if you add the spare tire, it automatically adds the bumper. But since the maker I think was just set up to show a variety of options as they planned them initially, and hasn't been updated since, I think they are holding off on spending money on...

My problem is I'll probably be parking in front of the attached garage. The flush mounted electrical panel is the opposite end of the house, and last breaker slots were taken up by solar. Maybe an electrician could do some condensing, but adding slots would probably mean a replacement panel or a...

Have a year before deciding, but I'll likely start with only some interior accessories, console, storage, maybe a bluetooth speaker mount or dash speakers, steering wheel buttons. My thinking is by launch they will have more of those kind of accessories to choose

The spare tire requires the upgraded bumper in the maker, and with questions on the rear window, apparently they haven't finished design on it, what is seen even at events so far won't match production.

Both the Ford and Toyota trucks are looking like late 2027 or 2028 releases, likely of 4 door trucks with even smaller beds than the maverick. They aren't even pointing at a release date to beat the slate, and they both are at a state where they could just fade away and few would notice.

If the charger they ship has the ability to set the current limit, it could work. The one I was looking at, the hardwire version has dip switches to set max current, which can only be 80% of the rated limit of the connection, because it is continuous. I also have the issue that that 30 amp...

I don't know that the used prices will drop that much, the base utility isn't going to shrink with age, there are a bunch of people driving 80s-90s 2 door pickups still, because they are useful.

You could get the 2 tower kits, I just noticed one has a brake light, and use those as a base for a soft top, or open top cargo hauling or whatever. I feel like by launch they may have a lot more accessory options. Since it's basically modular, and easy self install, they could have 5 different...

The one article I read said there was a glimpse of the front, not much more than enough to see that it had no grill, smooth front, but yeah, they could have shown like 1/2 the truck and got a lot more talk than showing less than 10% of it.

Well, that NEMA 14-50 won't help me much, can't run that on a 30 amp circuit.

Yeah, behind the seat is one place I thought of, people seeing the prototypes have said there was surprising space there, but if it doesn't come with a spare be default? Or maybe it will come with a donut spare somewhere by default and it just hasn't been mentioned.

Since a spare at all seems to be an add on for the slate, this all does need to be a consideration, and slate should come up with something more than they have before launch. I know some cars don't come with a spare, but those have run flat tires. Do any vehicles just by default come with no...
