I have a 2000 Ford Ranger Electric and initially didn't sign up to reserve a Slate as my Ranger is fairly comparable on everything but power and range, and for small EV trucks power isn't super important. Basically this would be an upgraded version of what I have. But, I'd like to sit in one...

I just went with the 3 categories to keep it simple, but here's my thought on it, actually they don't make the Lightning anymore so maybe should've gone with a Silverado or Rivian truck

Yes the Chinese definitely went full on with the EV is a smartphone, down to the you should buy a new one every 3 years or so. I read an article where one of the top brands, maybe BYD, would make a car for one model year, and then not even a year later have a new model, but still be making the...

Why are you here? Are you a prospective buyer? This comes across as just fear uncertainty and doubt. In the EV world known as FUD. Like you can't charge in the rain kinda junk. If it's an attempt at humor it's failing, bad, and I agree with others coming across as spam. -Jim

I think it's a bit of a grey area, Ford announced their skunk works in 2024, and I feel like it was a reaction to actually the Maverick vs the LIghtning sales they were seeing, as well as China and Tesla. But then after the Slate was announced Ford announced more details(though no photos) of...

All our cars have the port on different spots, our driveway is on the left side of the house if facing it, goes all the way along the side, and we added a pad to the right in front of the house so we don't have to do the hokey pokey to get out. The charger is on that front left corner, the...

Oh man if Toyota used their C-HR platform and made a REV4 little sport utility that'd be sweet!

I think, and hope that the facility tour chassis was a beta one they were trying out and they finalized on driver rear. Using a NACS and using the Tesla Supercharger network, the driver rear is the best position as that is what most superchargers are configured for, with fairly short cables. -Jim

This past weekend I went to Radwood Charlotte, which is a car show for 80s/90s cars and trucks. I brought the Power Ranger as I have in previous years, but it got me thinking about a car show for all the retro styled cars in the late 90s/2000s. Cars like The New Beetle, Mini Cooper, Plymouth...

Actually I remember I had a Subaru Brat that I never got roadworthy so technically I had 6 cars before getting power windows: 86 Chevrolet Celebrity - Crank 84 Isuzu P'up - Crank 91 Pontiac Sunbird - Crank 96 Dodge Neon - Crank 85 Subaru Brat - Crank 1994 Ford Ranger - Crank And then all power...

It's not a red flag for me as my company did this just last year. We had just a CEO the first couple years when we were less than 50 employees, as we ramped up and our customer base grew we got a CEO to focus on the business operations, and our current CEO became President to focus on customer...

I feel like they needed to open up for reservations to gauge interest before going full production, and then going full production does take some time. They built 70 beta trucks and did the tours last year with them so that's not 'hot air'. Now they have a production facility and are getting a...

I think this works great for the scooters where you roll up pop out your battery and pop in a new one, especially for apartment dwellers or even places where there's not the best electricity. For cars I think it's just too much infrastructure to maintain, and dc fast charging is catching up...

Yeah, I think as cadblu mentioned that's 1 less thing to fiddle with when applying the kits, or even like the open air kit the glass goes away and the brake light is all set:

Yeah, I get why they did it, but agree on the not so good points. It shouldn't be terrible to add a 3rd brake light back to the roof, and as I said I'd like cargo lamps there too, and I'd move the backup camera to the license plate area like I have it on my Ranger, just a generic bolt on type...

Don't judge yourself too harshly, my wife and I are at about 22 combined over the years so far, about 15 of those since we've been together. Still figuring out the perfect combo lol.

It was there, look in the updated maker, third brake light is in the tailgate now :(

Still cool though! My dad had a 1989 S10 with the regular 4.3, 2WD, that thing would light up the tires fairly easy without trying.

Thanks for posting, nice recap of the current SLATE of things.

Craziest I was thinking since the rear window is moveable like if you got the SUV kit, I'd pop off the whole thing and replace the rear glass with a sliding rear window. Especially on a single cab 2-seater, having that middle window open adds some nice breeze. Also putting the third brake...
