To be contrary to your contrary, it's the dealers who make money off of auto maintenance. They charge the labor and mark-up the OEM parts. Shade-tree mechanics use their own labor and often buy aftermarket. You have a subscription to All Data because you own a fleet. How many individuals can...

One would hope the paint is at least UV stabilized. I was thinking of painting 70s-style sripes in tri-shade blue over the base gray. Removing each panel and painting them individually might make it easier for a novice like myself.

And there's no way they're putting in a 312-Volt pack. That's only 220Vrms for the motor. At the 150kW rating, thats a 682- Amps, not including efficiency losses. The performance and efficiency hit for the smaller battery would be huge. So yeah...pretty sure the packs are parallel.

I would think the battery packs are parallel. The voltage difference between a five and eight pack series configuration would take a large bite out of motor efficiency in the smaller battery. Assuming each pack is 100 Volts (for ease of calculation), five packs give you 500 Volts versus 800...

I want a small two-door pickup I can commute the hell out of. Nobody else is selling that in the US.

I want a small and efficient two-door pickup truck. I don't want an extra set of doors I will never use, therefore wasting space in my garage - or anywhere I need to park. I don't want a vehicle so tall I need to climb in our out. I don't want a vehicle that's so big I have to think too much...

GM's flimsy single-sided keys were the worst.

My old 2012 Kia Soul fobs would work exactly the same way.

That's not how I read it. Although, I hope I am wrong and you are right.

An unboosted 13.5 Volt amplifier will do about 16 Watts per channel into 8-Ohm speakers. That should be plenty for a small cab. I'll get an amp with an internal boost supply if I need more.

I see they're using my Minimus 7 speakers. The diagram looks like a patent filing. Please tell me the US Patent Office didn't grant this.

If it blocks the rear plate you might get a ticket. (noticed the demo doesn't have one)

Watch me.

It's in the dash - same screen as the speedometer.

The is rather unfortunate. My old 2012 Kia Soul gave me a choice - remote or key from the same fob. I guess if the battery dies or electrical system fails, you're SOL. Imagine a flatbed driver showing up in this scenario... "Sorry, I can't tow this without seeing your registration." "I can't...

You guys have all been spoiled. My current ride is a '21 Seltos with the slow four and CVT. 0-60 in something under 9 seconds. Slowest car I've owned was an '82 Chevette, auto. 0-60 in 15, 70mph top speed.

AM/FM/HD radio with an aux input.

Slate shhpoots itself in the foot by using a square front end. Other than added frunk space, the grille and horizontal hood is a fashion statemet at tge exoense of arerodynamics. How about a sloped hood like a 90's SR5 ?

WTF. Do you have a source for this ???
