🔋 The Extended Battery Decision (Poll: Which battery option suits you best?)

[bloo]

Compact size would be another reason people are interested. I would not have put in a reservation if this was another so-called midsize truck.

And I don't care what Ford calls it - the Maverick is not a compact.

Turn up your gasslight so you can read the Fine Print. It's compact compared to other Ford pickups. 😉

I suppose that makes the Slate Truck a subcompact.

For size reference, the Slate is the same overall length as the '98 Civic sedan I've been commuting in lately. It really is small (good).

I have a bolt the range is good for my driving however I wish I had more range so I wouldn’t have to charge so much I drive 100 miles a day so range is kind of important
