4WD comes up a lot, too.

Idk, I don't see them producing enough quantity in the next few years to run into demand issues. And, like you said, I could see them announcing a 4 door SlateUV that would compete with the R2.

The author doesn't need to buy a Slate, and I don't care that it isn't perfect for everyone. It should have some configurations that are perfect for some people. I'm glad they're trying something sifferent.

Going through the author's complaints:

• No carpet/spartan interior. -> This is perfect for me to clean out crud from hiking or winter roads.

• People won't want to customize. -> Ok, pay the dealer or a shop, but let others save some money. Jeeps have a cult following.

• 2 doors. -> The avg riders per car trip is like 1.5. He acts like demand is the only driver, like the chicken tax and CAFE standards aren't driving up vehicle sizes.

Using rough numbers: for the larger battery pack at 84 vs 53 kWh, at $140ish/kWh, means an extra $4.5k.

What's wrong with tapping a card? Who asked for an app?

There are some gas stations where I know I can put in my phone number and get a few cents off, but needing to mess with an app instead of just tapping to pay would be insane.

Hoods are out of control. The rest of it is pretty much just a minivan in denial, though.

Idk what blue is in this picture, but green is an R1S and red is an Escalade, so compared to those it seems like a downright reasonable size.

I can't wait for the 3 row Telo.

The scramble for an Aldi Finds: EV would be legendary

And concerts

Switching from rings to a word is tragic

vehicle production starting in 2028

My R3 dreams are once again in shambles

I would be hard pressed to live in a bunch of these states.

IL and MI are cool but a lot of these...

I wonder if R3 production will happen at all in Illinois? Or not until this new plant is up and running?
