Slate is selling some kind of Bluetooth speakers to work with phones, But I'm guessing the slots they can go into in the dash would suit regular speakers? Someone's going to be coming up with kits for this just because it's actually a viable thing compared to OEM head units that are no longer a...

Looks like a dying LED screen. If it was a Slate, hopefully there would be a University module telling you how to swap out the screen. Hopefully it's not contained with whatever stores the odometer reading as That's probably some sort of dealer only swap for the mileage to be accurate. I would...

I generally have another set of rims for snow tires. Although there's all-season tires out there that are rated for snow now, so that might not be As much of a demand is in the past. But I'm sure there's going to be a market for people looking for steel wheels pretty quickly. Since it's...

I'm sort of looking forward to the challenge and the end result of getting exactly what I want. This vehicle is definitely not for you And there's all kinds of other cars with radios you can buy so You can stop leaving negative comments and go do that. Pretty much every head unit I have. There's...

If you're talking about a $25,000 vehicle that's going to be the total loss vs your typical $40,000 vehicle. So your first number they would consider would be the total loss. Also, it's a very simple vehicle so there won't be a $4,000 tail light with 12 sensors in it Or a $10,000 automatic...

If you actuallyIf you actually click on the link, the basic one is $260 And then there's a higher performance one and then the most phones one has satellite and Bluetooth. Most phones will just act as a hands-free device. I have fancy Android auto on a truck but on my basic car It just sits in a...

I mean, it really wouldn't make much sense if you draw more power it has to come from somewhere. You can't just create a large amount of power and it goes nowhere unless it's charging a battery instead of powering things. So when the battery would be worn down by the extra load it would demand...

Plus on an EV halogens would just take a bunch more electricity eventually from the EV battery and range?

Usually when people demand a lower price they would at least provide a list comparable new EV vehicles at the same price with a link for frame grab. Maybe you live in China? You can't really include rebates as a comparison because any manufacturer can throw money at a vehicle and lose money on...

There's a political process in play moving from incentives to de-incentives. Since in general, more economical vehicles are paying less road tax, It would be probably a good time to realign the entire process going forward to take into account all vehicles that use the road and don't/won't use...

Think you have to wait for what's reality when it finally builds and decide. Tiny trucks still won't exist, BEV trucks in general don't seem to exist under $70k. Maybe the Ford $30k EV truck will be a year away, or delayed for x reasons .... I have liked the stream of information as it comes...

Well you have a country twice the size of Iraq with could be up to 80,000 drones stockpiled and easily deployable and stored from any pickup, truck or house and It takes $1 or 2 million for us to shoot one down before it hits something up to 2000 km away, with a patriot missile. It's situated in...

I'm curious what the actual size is of the new Ford EV, Ford calls it midsized and a Slate is smaller than a Maverick. So if they can pull off that efficiency and price out of a larger vehicle with stuff in it that will be another part of the equation or maybe it is Maverick sized and it's just...

US market will be caught with their pants down. It was all pretty much about - We can make a lot more profit by not making small, inexpensive trucks. Suddenly this week as gas prices jump a dollar, with a war, EV interest will be up and we have nothing but Chinese competitors waiting to jump in...

Since it has a much higher efficiency. Aerodynamically (I forget the context of 50% better) It's probably not going to look like a standard pickup truck - just the worst possible design for wind. A big slab front, tall, with an open box, Giant knobby tires. Lots of stuff underneath to catch air...

There is a big segment who wants "fully loaded" and then they get their monthly payment that approaches home mortgage for a $70k truck and that is the expectation of buying a new truck. So buying a blank slate kind of makes their head explode. It's always hard to break through current...

I'd love to have a two-door pickup. I think four doors really look awkward. Manufacturers love creating this Frankenstein four-door bathtub bed maximum profit of just making one of something. And it really doesn't suit any one buyer. People just keep missing the concept of Slate, Which happens...

Oh maybe your right. HV and LV would both have a battery management system. I would think if you were going to the effort to replace the HV battery And the expense and not writing off the vehicle near end of life (out of warranty) It might have gone down because of the BMS So could be with it...

Everything Tesla does is kind of expensive and proprietary And they don't want you working on it. Since slate does want you working on it, I'm guessing we're going to find out how this system works without out the Cloak and Dagger. Pretty much any new vehicle has some type of battery management...

The whole purpose of it is that it is a really well priced blank slate that Is customized later and people come up with ideas down the road. There are plenty of vehicle options out there that are $40,000 and up that have radios along with complicated head units that don't exactly do what you...
