It reminds me of the whole surfing beach-party type of vib from the El Comino ... does the Slate come in Lime-Green ?? lol but seriously, the problem I see coming is what about service? not like there will be 5,000 Slate dealerships across N.America. I wonder if they will partner with another...

I was wondering about jumping my lawn tractor from the 12 volt battery - since it is a bit easier to access than removing the side panel - is there any danger of upsetting the computer stuff doing this? - anyone know for sure??

I was planning the same: two sets of tires, the stock set for summer, and a more aggressive set for winter. Just take the range hit as a cost for traction in snow.

The more EV options the better for consumers, not everyone has the same need from a vehicle. The more EV's on the road, being used, and seen will increase interest, and hopefully increase how many chargers are built and where.

I would think the best case for Walmart to see EV's charging is someone on a road trip, wants to stop for a charge and meal or pick up supplies they need. Not really the place for shopping an hour for groceries - well unless they can't home charge for some reason. I can't think of anyone I...

If you have a solar - battery system, you don't need the truck to provide more than the average daily load/24 hours. ie you can power an average homes' 30 kWh per day load with just 1.25kW steady supply from the truck as long as you have batteries & Inverter big enough to start your biggest...

Old Thread from Spring 2022 - it is interesting to see what the thoughts were three years ago, and compare to what actually has happened.

I think it's great that you can post your situation on the forum and get a lot of feedback from members that have owned and driven both vechicles - great to hear your decision and hope it works out well for your business and use. The best part - ya got a great EV I am sure you will enjoy for...

If my EV is avoiding road tax, that I will have to pay separtely for it's fair share of the road cost,... but I also have an ICE - so it should have an "AIR Tax" to pay it's fair share of removing the pollution it adds to the air??

I looked at all the options, compared: Price Insurance costs Repairability Parts, service repairs long term Aftermarket stuff - fit and price Cab size/function. Then I compared side by side two F-150's: the ICE vs EV, and looked at cost of ownership & operation for a ten year expected service...

Except, as I understand it, most jurisdictions syphon away a lot of the 'road tax' for other things, nothing to do with roads or bridges...

someone says - "hey, those new electric vehicles don't pay their share for road tax, that's not fair" so governments come up with a new fee for EV's, and given the chance, yeah they go high. Here in Ontario they don't have an EV road tax - or at least not yet.

Or daily driving it and enjoying for a few years until the next generation of batteries come to market - were in early stages with EV's, there will be rapid advancements over the next decade...s.

Seems like the case, and yet looking at my own use, most of the time, I only charge at home overnight. Public chargers are mostly about travelling farther than the range of the vehicle. Then you look at two options: fast charging so you can get going again after a snack or destination overnight...

IF they can hit that price point, I say it is a good addition to the options for people, I like it as a hobbie-farm mini-truck in a milder climate than I see...kinda follows the same line of thinking as the scout. We need some more affordable model EV's and not everyone need 400 mile range in...

I go to Tim's first ! LOL

up here we have Canadian Tire and lots of these stores have Tesla or Flo chargers already. In Winnipeg there is a Tesla Super charger near to Earle's - a nice resturant to stop and eat at. I hope this trend continues to grow - more charging options is more-better. I would like to see them build...

it makes sense for any establishment that wants a 20-40 minute shopper - I have a local to me Walmart with 6 Tesla chargers on the edge of the lot (convenience station) in Dryden. It can be a good place to charge, pick up a few things for a trip and get going.

I have the Grizzl-E charger - and I recall they have some larger commercial chargers available - check out Grizzl-E EV Kodiac

AH - the no Tampering prohibition, ...so, we leave the factory sound alone...and just ADD our own sound separate sound system to drown it out !! Maybe make it sound like "Uncle Buck's car"... ok too scary. I miss John. Uncle Buck
