How do you think the average reader would this?:
The Slate Truck is a two-door, single-cab electric pickup with a single rear motor and an initial goal of costing as little as the mid-$20,000s (with the $7,500 federal EV tax credit that has since been discontinued).​
and later
The truck goes into production later this year. Johnson said no changes had to be made over the now-higher price point with the loss of EV tax credits.​

Johnson leads 30 people. Somehow that's more than I would have anticipated, but it makes sense.

At Slate, Johnson leads a team of about 30 with industrial and UX designers, color and material specialists, clay modelers, digital surfacing team members, and studio engineers.​

They have a Digital Surfacing Team. Had to look that one up!

In Hawaii?
Ironic
We had a 2001 Toyota Sequoia in Atlanta. Those heated seats were comfy in the winter. When we moved to Hawaii we shipped the Sequoia and would laugh at the idea of the heated seats. Then one, particularly physically challenging day (we physically built this house) on a trip to town, Sophie flipped on the seat heat as her back was killing her. Relief. She has since shared that with a number of like aged friends. The response back is always, “thank you, Sophie”.
So, yup, in Hawaii
