While I agree this is silly, I don't think that's a bad thing. Creating the aura of customization / modification / artistry only helps expand the audience, in my opinion. For instance, the nuts and bolts things that I'm interested in are not the same as the "arts and crafts" that my wife is...

Since this dimension zombie thread was revived, does anyone know the bed loading height? Said another way, with the tailgate down, how high do I need to lift something to get it into the bed?

Kinda? Do I step out in front of a car going 50 mph and expect it to come to a skidding stop? Of course not but that's not the same thing as having the right of way. (It's also not what you said above so maybe I misunderstood your intended message.) If I make it obvious that I'm trying to...

In my area, I'd have to walk a half mile in one direction and a mile in the other to get to an intersection controlled by a traffic signal (or stop sign, or whatever, etc.) I'm glad I can still use the crosswalk by my house though.

I think we can all agree that most of us need a low cost EV that can haul a pair of sheep / goats / potbelly pigs / dogs in the cargo area and tow 2000# worth of hay or straw. ;)

I think I'll be a bit of both. For instance, since I know I'm only interested in the cargo variant (or SUV, if that's all that's available), I might have that done right away. From then on, it's all me for further maintenance and upgrades. Having said that, if they want to charge too much to...

I've built factory five kit cars and i SOOO wish they had a good electric option. Maybe this is the way!

EV Minivan, but I think I might be the only one.

Count me in as wanting a cargo top with windows. We currently haul sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, dogs, other small animals in our transit connect as part of our animal rescue. I'm hoping the slate will be it's replacement. I'll need a full partition or else I'm going to have goats trying to...

How will you make them hot? No sidepipes are complete without the chance to scorch a leg.

I'd love to be able to continue using my 5'x8' utility trailer. It has a gross vehicle weight rating of #2000 though. :(

A woody kit or an old truck step-side kit would be cool, imho...

I would not be interested if it was only ICE. It's not the perfect vehicle for me but the EV aspect helps give it enough pros vs cons to put it at the top of my list.

Since we're dropping in old autox pics. Technically, this was classified as an XP car but at the local level the handful of us with non-standard cars typically all ran EM just so we'd have a competitor.

This is great news! I have fond memories (and great stories) of my autocross days. :)

I have a few variations of this cheap bluetooth amp (with aux) for the patio, garage, and barn that I'm thinking of trying. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072Q157FY

I have a 1972 console stereo that should be just under the payload capacity that I plan to use. ;) I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet but if I'm going to use my own device for navigation, there is definitely the opportunity to have a direct connection vs bluetooth. Good thinking!

The Slate is SOOOOO close to being perfect for me, and yet apparently so far away. I only need #1500 of towing for those short project tow trips but it appears the Slate isn't for me. My current, car based, mini cargo van with 140 HP can do it but since no one makes anything like it anymore, I...

I get what you're saying and I think most people understand this isn't going to be an F350 in capabilities. Most of the comments I see are not that it should be able to tow a fifth-wheel cattle trailer, just that it should have comparable capabilities as other unibody CUV's. I think it's...

Ok, maybe I shoul I think that's the point of the original post. What would be the additional cost to increase the capacity? Are we talking $50 or $5000 to double the capacity?
