For a truck without a tonneau cover, the Frunk is awesome. And even with a tonneau cover, the Frunk is more secure. I keep all kinds of things in the Frunk that allows my cabin to stay uncluttered and keep things dry: My portable EVSE. My IT bag. A couple of folding chairs. A Harbor...

As cool as that rendering is, and I WOULD be completely happy with it, there's something not quite Ford enough about that facia. I know that the skunkworks team has been given a LOT of rope to not do it how Ford has always done it, but I don't know if that would include a completely un-Ford...

I have a Sierra Denali EV The mid-gate is automatically equipped in certain trim levels, as I understand it. If you ever find yourself needing that extended bed length, it's worth whatever it cost to put it in! Since it's an EV, you can put a tonneau cover, or a camper shell, drop the...

There's a few features that could be argued wouldn't be in a base model EV for $29k. It's an impressive feat for an American made EV truck. I'm not sure the mid-gate isn't going to be native to the truck. It'll be cool if it is!

Wait. Are you insinuating that the reason I'm more patient about such things is because I'm old? OK. You're probably on to something. 🤣 It's true. And it's one of the things that offsets the negatives of the body showing its miles. If I need a few more KWH's after returning to the truck...

Ford's EV division never even got close to breaking even, much less being profitable. I think Ford was VERY dissapointed by that. It wasn't sustainable. Nor was it their strategy. The whole UEV platform is Ford eating crow on the first attempt to be an EV manufacturer, and then going all in...

I'm on my 3rd EV Range anxiety was way bigger in my mind than it turned out to be in real life. And honestly, it's just getting less and less an issue as time goes by. I used to drive my F150 Powerboost on road trips to see family in San Antonio. (200 miles away) I had an aversion to public...

Are you saying that Ford WANTS to, and is WILLING to sell me a Fathom at say...... $5000 lo$$, because tracking me with Bluecruise will generate more revenue for them than $5000? I'm not arguing that Ford isn't interested in generating revenue with subscription services, and even with data...

I agree with your point. And I do think that Ford is going to be providing more truck for the money. Pretty much indisputable. Still, the Slate is offering a vehicle that fills a desire that no other manufacturer offers, at any price. Slate will have customers that want that unique vehicle...

They did the same thing with the Lightning, right? The release of the $39,999 F150 Lightning spurred an enormous content in the public square. A full sized American EV truck for "less" than $40k Of course Ford shamefully limited the production number of $40k trucks available to the...

Great post. No offense taken. :) I recently parted ways with my 2023.5 Mach-E GTPE after 2 years of daily driving enjoyment. (It was an impulse purchase in response to an unexpected moment at a Ford dealership with one of my granddaughters. We weren't there to even look for purchasing a...

I don't believe it is even possible for the Slate to be optioned UP at ANY price, to equal the base content of the Fathom. It's just not how the Slate product model is designed. I'm not dissing the Slate by pointing that out. In fact, I personally desire great success for all American...

Much like the Maverick, I don't think we will see a lot of incentives. At least nothing substantial. It's pretty much been a seller's market for the Maverick since the day it was released. I can't help but draw some parallels. We did get a couple of thousand off a 2025 AWD Lariat 4K tow...

The Lightning release was a fiasco for a lot of reservation holders. The vast majority of us that were wanting the $39,999 SR Pro got punked by Ford. It left a bitter taste in my mouth, and that's coming from basically an ambassador customer of 7 decades. I still burn a little when I think about...

At entry level MSRP, I'd bet no more than a short trial period? I got 3 years and a bonus year on my 2022 KingRanch Powerboost I got 90 days on my 2023.5 Mach-E GTPE

At least depreciation on a $25k, or even a $30k is le$$ than the hit the more expensive EV's drop. There's a lot of EV's that quickly depreciate more than the Slate's MSRP. My GMC Denali EV is a good example.
