Definitely buying. The only thing I'm worried about is my Maverick losing value between now and when I sell it to fund the Slate. I suspect the business in Hormuz will keep the 40mpg truck value up there this summer..
Hm, I hadn't looked at the steering wheel but I'm with you, having a gap in the middle bottom is critical. It won't be a deal-breaker for me but certainly an annoyance.
Yea I'm sure they forgot that sometimes vehicles need to be towed, can't believe these experienced auto makers made that mistake.
You come off a little unhinged and the ALL CAPS SCREAMING doesn't help your case. What evidence do you have of any of your claims?
First car was only one year younger than me, a 1988 Dodge Dakota. No working AC and I live in the south so those crank windows got a lot of use. When I went to college my parents thought the old truck wouldn't make it so I got handed down a Grand Cherokee with fancy powered windows! Had to...

I would hope that the mid-20s figure includes enough margin to be profitable on the Blank Slate. If they are banking on accessory sales to float the company, well, I just don't think that's going to happen. Too many 3d printers and third party accessory sellers to expect a lot of first party...
I think you aren't wrong tgpii. It does seem a bit expensive compared to other (used) EVs. A lot of that comes from the wild depreciation for EVs, resale value just takes a nosedive moreso than ICE or other "more established" platforms.
While they advertised it as a cheap vehicle, I don't...
