If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

I hate the guy too. But, I'm actually looking for a small EV that is 4wd, has clearance and has enough range. At the very least, this adds more options and adds more competition

Buying this will give Amazon more money to buy out the competition before they even make it to market.

Yeah. I'm in Australia. They likely won't even sell it here

Byd will probably just grab some of the ideas, and I'll buy them 😂

I just hate that all the 4wd stuff is massive. I really want something more that's a jimny but BEV. I drive a jeep now, but I don't need to tow or compensate for anything
