  1. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    I have 3 hybrid Mavericks and I'm happy. A $20k Slate was going to be my around the farm truck. Unlicensed and a beater. Still undecided, but I can buy 2 4x4 used Silverado's for the price.
  2. New EV worries

    No you're in a box with limited insulation going down the road. Windchill. In the summer it's in the sun.
  3. New EV worries

    Not the battery but the heat n the vehicle. I used to know the numbers but I think AC was 35000 BTU and heat was 80,000BTU to make it comfy. A lot of AMPS!!

    If I ever receive one it'll be in a somewhat warm garage plugged in. Remote started and warmed up before unplugging. Trips generally less than 25 miles.

  11. ARTICLE: You Need Way Less Range Than You Think

  12. Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    I thought this mornings article said 27 MY. I'll trade in my Maverick to get one. Have 3 Mavericks at this time will probably keep the XLT and get an electric. Just a comfy golf cart like my XL is on the farm.
  13. Manual Window Cranks

    Might just save some lives too. People drown when their electrical systems fail under water. Doors locked and windows up. Something automakers don't talk about.
  14. Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    Boomer here, it will replace my golf cart at a large museum, 120 acres . Probably not to be plated or insured just an onsite work truck.

    My Maverick has electric AC and it's the best I have ever had.
