That seems likely, yes, but you don't know for sure without CFD or wind tunnel testing. It could be that there's some weird detail with the fastback that somehow manages to make it worse.

I do if I want to take it on proper off-road trails, mudding and rock-crawling and such.

It is possible, but when I did it just now your only mentions of "home depot" that came up were actually about the store, not an analogy.

You can "save" or "star" your own comments, BTW, which could make it easier to find if you keep the list short.

CarPlay itself, perhaps not. The telemetry, ads, annoying safety nagging, and sometimes even paywalled vehicle features that tend to be implemented alongside it (because the underlying computerization facilitates both the good and the bad) is, though.

If you do the configurator, it requires the squareback as a prerequisite. So you're buying the roof and then taking it off again.

Your ISP must have a colocated Steam cache.

I'm torn because the fastback looks cooler but it has less cargo capacity (both inside and on the roof rack).

Then again, I also really like the "open air kit" which apparently requires the squareback, so maybe the decision would be easy.

The telematics module is an optional extra-cost accessory! It doesn't come with it by default!

Oh, that explains why the fastback is more expensive than the squareback. I'd been wondering about that.

This is the exact fucking polar opposite of an oversize truck. It's nearly identical in size to a compact pickup from the '90s.

But it will be a real vehicle made by a real company with things like a ‘radio’

That's a bad thing, because "radio" these days implies "spying and enshittification."

Slate is the only EV on the entire market that isn't fucked with that deal-breaker.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
