AND.... its still 4 doors, and I'm quite sure it has screens, infotainment and a bunch of other crap "technology" and power nonsense. I'll pass - indeed, I'm willing to pay MORE to not be saddled with the American auto market effeteness.

I've said for years now that what I want/need is a "60/60" EV. 60 real world miles at 60MPH. That would fit my use model quite nicely and I think it would be a fit for many others as well. The basic Slate more than meets that spec.

Tesla is incapable of producing an affordable EV and/or a competitor to the Slate - too much junk technology.

Has a screen. Hard pass.

That's exactly right. A pickup truck needs a "single" or "standard" cab, not a glorified school bus. The Maverick has 4 doors and infotainment? Those are two major reasons NOT to buy one!

Ok, so they remove the radio - which I don't have a problem with as I seldom run sound of ANY kind in the car - but they still have all the wifi/BT/smartphone junk. Makes zero sense. Get rid of that nonsense and give me a radio or at least a DIN slot. But Tesla is Tesla, they'll never move away...

I'm with you. I'm interested in the Slate because it seems to be something WITHOUT "technology". I worked in High Tech my entire career, and feel that automobiles are NOT the place for computers of any kind. I refuse to pay for subscriptions of any type - Adobe can go pound sand for bringing it...
