Mach E
Current ride is a 2021 Mach E with 103k miles on it. We also own an F250 to haul a horse trailer but we recently moved into a large city and will probably sell truck and trialer.

The Slate would be a great city car for us. Use it with the square back SUV topper and no rear seats. Makes a great dog hauler as well as hardware store/grocery getter.

Not concerned with the minimal range, 150 would be fine for our city use. Currently I am charging the Mach E on a 120v outlet until I can get a whole house power upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp service. For city driving that has proved to be more than fine. If I go out of town it does take time to get back up to 80% on 120v but has been manageable.

Tundra 1794, Subaru Ascent
78 yo here and really excited about this little truck I really want, but don’t need. Currently drive almost new Tundra 1794, but have to admit it has way too much tech I don’t use. While I would have been just as happy with a new Ridgeline I suspect I’d feel same way. The Tundra won over the Ridgeline totally due to dealer.
Will be a blank Slate buyer with hope to have a bed topper for the dogs as only must do.
Wife had a 76 Toyota pu when we met. Great little truck that served us well. I had a MGB. Every now and then I sense she still regrets trading that truck almost 40 years ago. At some point I might wrap the Slate in attempt to match 😁
We live 100% off grid and never seriously considered an EV, but now I’m excited.
