| It might affect the market for work trucks, but it won't affect the market for gender affirming care

| Man, if they did this with a small hatchback, I think I'd be all in.I do wonder about the vinyl wrap

| The Slate family did pivot away from their rock/gravel business. Good for them. *

| Hard pass. Same size as a mid-80s Toyota truck. Those were small. *

| Owned one of those and loved it*

| I wrecked my dad's in high school. He LOVED that truck and not sure he ever forgave me.*

|
| I bought it used and it was covered in bondo*

|
| Impossible. They are indestructible.

| If you have a good enough head of steam....

| I'm intrigued.

| I’m kind of intrigued. I need to replace a Honda Fit with something similar - cheap but with space

| Recently saw a cybertruck actually being a truck. (Making this the EV truck thread)

| They have an incredibly short bed for anything over 2.5ft tall. It's like 4 feet or something. *

| I could see a niche market for like city-delivery trucks. If we did a ton of self distribution...
Posted by haighter
|
| Counterpoint: the similarly sized and priced Ford Maverick is a huge hit.*
Posted by ATL
|
| Are you sure? The Maverick looks to be 2ft longer than the Slate...and it already seems...
Posted by haighter
|
| You could be right. My ideal car would be an electric station wagon.
Posted by ATL
|
| Same length as a two-door wrangler. Not going to have much of a bed. *
Posted by harb
|
| so, the spirit airlines of cars?*
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
| No*
Posted by illini21
|
| 200 miles makes it a niche option. would be fun for an extra vehicle if you're an avg. deucer*
Posted by Nobster
|
| Nobody will buy this*
Posted by gvibes
|
| they absolutely will. have you seen how many cybertrucks are on the roads?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
| Somehow not that many and yet still too many.*

|
| They look larger than a Jeep Wrangler. I'll be fine.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| My minivan carries like twice as much as that ugmobile*

|
| $25K is a great price. I bet it's a lot less than what you got your Toyota Previa for in 1993.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
| My guess is a real out the door price will be closer to $35K
Posted by ATL
|
| Still seems pretty good for a new car by today's standards.*
