Some of the profiles in those pictures make me think Subaru Baja., with out the extra cladding around the short bed. I will stick with Slate (please come in at $25k or less)

Bring me that 25% off Super Coupon for the Slate Truck.

Harbor Freight is an American Company, even if they are more of an importing retailer than a manufacturer. Currently imagining a red and white Slate truck pulling their little red Haul Master trailer with white rails and Black and Red Predator solar panels set up on the roof rack to form a...

I could not remember who all owns whom and just listed known work tool brands. Maybe Stihl US, Husqvarna, or Stanley-B&D could be enticed.

Most existing American vehicle brands would likely buy it, and then effectively cancel it in favor of their own existing vehicles and financial strategies. Google, or Apple, would be too interested in turning the Slate into a connected Technology vehicle (ChromeCar/iTruck) I think a major...

Be careful of empty beer cans. Some police jurisdictions will pull you over and call them open containers. Even if they are in bed.

Funny enough, all these items fit in the medium size Home Depot Brand Husky work boxes.

You want highest technology pigmentation white your budget allows.. Probably a high gloss or satin white. Though you may find tinting your windows with IR reflective coatings and window shades more effective at keeping the interior cooler.

I believe this concern arose from insurance companies not paying for damage and property losses associated with bed truck boxes with basic insurance. You had to have an additional policy/coverage, but basic insurance did pay for damage to the actual vehicle and associated property loss...

I wander, pressuring Slate is successful, if their next "product" is actually a base electrified trailer. A trailer built around their truck frame to provide a 5000 lb 5 x 12 utility platform trailer with a slightly thicker base consisting a heat sink protective skid plate, slate battery...

Just remember, the daily average continental US solar power is 1 kwh per square meters per day. And the Slate footprint is not quite 8 square meters. You might get 5-7 kWh a day for when considering practical factors that limit collection efficiency.

As far as use cases. Owners whose residential circumstances limit home charging capability, but have a secure outside location at home or work to enable useful solar energy collection.

I recently saw this idea EV Solar Charger – GoSun Not sure, how serous the company is, but I have been thinking about this kind of idea recently. And it seems similar to yours.

By having your camera, or other augmented reality viewing tool, and scanning the QR codes of course.

Yes, I believe Autozone and Pep Boys merged, or partnered, within the past few years. I have a seen the Pep Boys shop near me which had a parts store attached recently change to Autozone colors.

How about Slate offer a free wrap of any color covered in QR advertising codes. It could be an interesting pattern like the USMC's camouflage pattern, except the pattern is QR codes.
