  1. Used EV Wave Incoming. Anyone Else Watching This?

    As one of the ID.4 early adopters in 2021 I’d encourage you to investigate ownership experience in their forum (https://www.vwidtalk.com/). VW has already slowed production at their Chattanooga plant and they’ve already cut back the ID Buzz as well.
  2. Used EV Wave Incoming. Anyone Else Watching This?

    Used Cooper SE looks to be an attractive option if you can live with the pitiful range. Turned in my leased ID.4 two years ago and while my Maverick Hybrid ticks all the boxes a BEV is so compelling for local driving. A used BEV towing a small utility trailer occasionally is a solid option IMO
  3. Slate first drive review video - Jay Leno's Garage!

    Those throwing rocks should just go buy a leftover 25 Maverick XL Hybrid for 26K. You either buy the concept or you don’t.
  4. Slate first drive review video - Jay Leno's Garage!

    I will place a lot of weight on Jay’s views. His YouTube content and his modeling as a “car guy” we can identify with simply places him on top. Also looking forward to a review by Alex on Autos.
  5. Slate Factory Update Video & POV Tour (January 29, 2026)

    As one of the early adopters for ID.4’s one would think I’d wait a few years but seems like pushing out $50 worth of chips is reasonable in this case.
  6. Slate Factory Update Video & POV Tour (January 29, 2026)

    Since I’m one of the semi-bold (with only $50 in the game) I got the email but the video didn’t encourage me that much. Programmers, engineers, general workforce, training, safety vehicles, etc. and 30 years of working in large program introduction (with major capital backing) would indicate...
  7. Slate Q&A is Getting a Bad Rap

    The only question I submitted was concerning the capability to flat tow behind a motorhome. I didn’t receive a email response but appreciate that she put out a definitive answer. I had already reached out to Demco and BlueOx offering my truck for their development work and they wisely said...
  8. Slate Q&A is Getting a Bad Rap

    I had mixed reactions as well, as true of any car company I had too lofty expectations. And yes, I’m one of the “Maverick boys” but at least my truck hasn’t offered to randomly become a brick like my ID.4 did. Sad fact is our trucks are now $7500 more expensive and I’m a little wary of the value...
  9. The "Panel Theft" Panic

    The reservation owner Q&A event tomorrow should address this and their long term health, they go bust then I’ll have a second Maverick Hybrid to buy.
  10. Flat Tow support for Slate truck in the works [confirmed]

    Is Demco, Roadmaster or BlueOx working to develop a baseplate for towing?
  11. New TFL Truck Slate video from LA

    Guess I need to stop being lazy and put in my reservation number, especially since I signed up within two days of the announcemen. Agree with Tommy on a lot of his observations (I’ve just about given up on the TFL family, Roman has worn thin) but watching this and the Munro video has me...
  12. Fifteen52 Analog HD black wheels & colorful wraps on Slate fastback, pickup and SUV

    I’m personally ready for some nicer wheels, even the classic Kosei five spoke would be better.
