"Simplify and add lightness" -Colin Chapman

I'm happy for you and your HP printer. I want more control over updates, which is why I'm interested in a Slate. Why are you here?

Cars having issues during updates, massive bugs, deliberately removed functionality, etc. are all known problems that keep happening across the industry. Why are you pretending this isn't a known thing?

I don't own a tesla because I don't want to deal with their bullshit, which is why I'm interested in a Slate.

I don't let cars make decisions for me.

Slate has already said that OTA updates will happen via your phone. You'll get an update downloaded to your slate app, then you plug it in and update the truck. I love this because you get to decide IF you want the update, instead of just waking up to a bricked tesla.

I'm assuming that's a two-tone wrap, which is even easier.

This is basically the scenario for me here. Because we get occasional piles of lake effect all at once, there's occasional times I truly couldn't get anywhere in a 2wd, even with good snows. But I basically always can just stay home for those times. If I had a job that I NEEDED to get to...

I was just looking at their "events" page the other day, and noticed that they hadn't updated it yet despite it saying "check back in the new year". Just looked now and they've added an event in Fort Worth.

Average annual snowfall of 108" here, haha. So I used to know this guy that did some drifting. For years he used his 240sx drift missile with a welded diff as his winter beater. That thing was a blast in anything other than deep snow. Nothing quite as fun as shooting two massive rooster tails...

I used to run those on my ranger/tacoma, and they're exactly what I would put on something AWD/4WD year round. On my 2wd vehicles I have summer and winter tires. Look at something like a General Altimax Arctic, which is a dedicated snow tire. (Someone else is gonna come in and say "That's not a...

Your response to my claim that "2wd with a locker > awd with open diffs" was that "No factory production 2WD vehicle has an electronically locking rear diff." Which does nothing to disprove my claim. And while all terrains that are snow rated are good, they are not true snow tires.

No factory production vehicle has snow tires either.

My snipped OnStar connection agrees with you.

Yeah, AWD is absolutely not a replacement for skill. Most of the vehicles I see off stuck off the side of the road in the snow are AWD SUVs. People think that because they can accelerate faster they can just drive normally. I see people not realizing that with AWD, if you have engine braking...

Interesting to see it out and about. It doesn't look like the charge port is on the driver side, so this might be an earlier prototype that had it on the passenger side.

They definitely still exist, I just haven't seen one in a store in a long time. A lot of newer vehicles have LED taillights that they wouldn't work in. Not sure about the Slate, but it seems like an easy enough upgrade even if it doesn't use classic bulb shapes. Separately, my Spark came with a...

You can look at vehicles that offer both to get an idea. For example the Mustang Mach E has a 98kwh NMC pack or a 78kwh LFP pack, so about 80% of the capacity in the same packaging. That would put a Slate big pack around 67kwh if it were LFP. That's just rough guessing, but that's about the size...
