What’s the most β€œaffordability” convertible?

What’s the over/under on Amazon announcing some 500k order of Slate trucks in the next month before the reservations convert?

But yeah, we ball. Bring it on. Guys luck bringing a 2 door truck to a 4 door fight.

I do think it’s been Slate’s secret plan all along to dominate last mile small fleet (Amazon building its own own USPS needs a neighborhood EV to complement the Rivian van). Trying to go up against Ford Pro will be a challenge, and I think this move undercuts their populist retail appeal.

Because nothing says β€œcar of the people” like an Ex-Amazon, ex-McKinsey CEO.

Some more Amelia snaps. Very low influencer turnout, some brands but not many. Bet it gets much bigger in the next 5 years.

I maintain that the parking lot of these events is more interesting sometimes than the show itself.

This isn’t a map of what human jobs are defensible. It’s a map of what jobs won’t exist at all.

Headed to the Amelia for the first time. If there’s something you think I should see/drive, do let me know.

Yeah we’re the meatware running their plans to ground. No thank you.

They added the EREV to their plan only 9 months before the reveal, after having planned to be EV only. So I’d assume the design constraints were pretty rough.

I mean it seems like they could have done that by putting the engine where it usually goes. Would have lost the frunk I suppose. I can’t help but think the whole EREV plan them is a bit of a backfill. Like would they have made the same decisions with a white sheet approach?

Curious how a bunch of unsprung weight cantilevered over the rear axle does anything to improve vehicle dynamics in an offroad vehicle. Seems like it would be a bitch to isolate that movement.

Launching a make or break product into the nadir of the North American EV market is rough.
