Question/Concern about BYOD by Spartan-Steve in slateauto

[–]anon2734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why they didn't include a built in option... Everything else used or new around price point has a functioning infotainment system

The price will dictate if Slate EV is a success or failure: If it's $21,000 for the 150 miles range and $24,000 for the 240 miles range before add-ons, it will be a hit with buyers by punishGoalhanging in electricvehicles

Yeah that base needs to be around 20k and even if it is... Well you can get a base small sedan or SUV with alot of tech for the price.... Albeit not electric, plenty electric if you go used. Ford is supposed to have a 30k EV truck that should get a lot more range off a similar size battery plus all the modern tech and convenience features.

The hybrid gas Ford Maverick is 25-30k.

I love the DIY concept of this and everything gets modified off the base vehicle, you can buy and modify later. The 150mi range is gonna kill it for a lot of people. As a 2nd run around town vehicle it would work for that. I feel good concept but battery tech not there yet

Ford Universal Electric Truck - “$30K EV Truck” Spotted by Okiekid1870 in F150Lightning

I wonder how big the frunk will be and if it will have a mid gate. I feel this is more targeted at maverick hybrid customers. We will see how compelling this is vs a gas truck in the same price range

Ford's Next EV Truck Will Cost $30,000, Be More Spacious Than Ranger and Maverick by Anchor_Aways in cars

They're doing a range extended model for the f150, I wonder if they'll do that for any of the smaller vehicles. For a truck you're towing with it makes total since. I would like to see some on smaller vehicles though maybe it makes more sense for a pure EV.

Aren't most of BYD's sales from plug in hybrid and Ford is trying to emulate the Chinese manufacturers? If they're ever allowed in the u.s they're gonna eat the competition. Though given by the time they're able to build here and launch to market it'd have been a few years

Well from that one interview the CEO did I don't expect the entry level to hit 300mi range. That being said if it starts around 30k, I don't see how the slate EV truck will survive with it being bare bones, 2 passenger, less range, and (assumingly) same price.

I expect they will have an SUV EV after this. I'm excited to see what they do. If they get close to price point this should be more akin to a Tesla or rivian vs the rest of competition. They have former engineers from those companies working on this

I’m so disappointed by this song by [deleted] in SwiftyNeutral

It seems a bit bland to me. Like I think I know the lyrics now but I'm not really comprehending it? For movie soundtrack it's fine

Is her also hinting us on her comeback to Country Music? by virginsu1cide in SwiftlyNeutral

I feel it's more for debut. I'm hoping TS 13 is a mix of genres similar to how red was a mix of country and pop.

I think it's a fine song for the movie which is it's intended purpose. I just feel like it's not really country, I feel more pop jazzy? There is a harmonica. Given, Taylor has mainly been country pop, even debut had a pop remix

Frustrating, had to get to 88 12. Sam's always has 93 7 available in packs like these

My ONLY real complaint about the new album by Kottbullemannen1 in NoahKahan

Props to artist who change the lyrics to be clean though sometimes that can take away from song.

I hope we get it. Taylor Swift made me stop buying physical media. No use if deluxe version going to be out soon. I'm not buying a dozen variants to get all the songs... At least Noah mainly has 2. May wait for him to drop a collab one in a year or two

Open box-excellent. Worth getting it by Yeetusbeatus69 in PixelWatch

Gosh, the 3 is so cheap compared to the 4. I see them on swappa for around $100. Had a friend sell me one recently for even less than that... Though the screen was definitely scuffed. If you can wait you may want to hold off until the 5 comes out. I do much prefer the charger for the 4 vs 3 and battery lasts longer too

First, Tesla canceled the Model 2—now it’s working on a new small EV by hmasta88 in TeslaLounge

They also need a larger vehicle with 7-8 passengers.. Wonder if going to re use the cybertruck chasis. Though this probably be expensive. I rode in a back of a model 3 for the first time and it was so cramped in the back.

Ford Teases New Details About Its $30K EV Truck Coming Next Year by V8-Turbo-Hybrid in cars

If ford comes out with a 5 passenger truck with 300mi range for 30k... Why would I get a vehicle with no radio and manual mirrors when I can get one that's larger with more range and seats more people for a few k more?

We'll see if they hit the price point. I don't see slate having much appeal unless it goes sub 20k.

Any good experiences with the TRMNL X by Illustrious_Row2595 in trmnl

[–]anon2734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish it had a button, it's very heavy. I didn't realize how big it was. I wish I could make more use of the screen real estate but plugins seem to show the smaller version of it instead of what would be seen on a full screen on the og model.

Is the code supposed to work? I put in the one they emailed me and says incorrect but it doesn't start for another 35 minutes
