Are Teslas days numbered? Is the next big America made car here? Is this the work of Tariffs?

What's the range of that thing fully loaded and pulling a trailer?
In other terms, how much practical work can this thing do?
Will it handle the 500 mile drive to my cottage while towing my boat? My little diesel could just about manage the round trip on a single stock tank of gas.

kinda looks like our government-issued chinese electric cars

I’ll stick to walking

This guy loves imitating Elon. The only idea he came up with by himself was Amazon.

electric vehicle

hard pass

It has no stereo or AC.

True. Whats his problem anyway? Trying to keep up with Musk so anti-Musk consumers choose Bezos companies?

Have you considered living among other humans?

its just vertical integration for their product delivery system

GIBS US THE HILUX CHAMP YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS!!!!111!!!

Why would anyone buy this instead of a 2000s Ford Ranger or Tacoma for less than half the price of this?

No AC is a deal breaker when you live in a place that has 9 months of Summer. Hard pass for me.

I'm not giving this cunt any money for his retarded queer free mason cult group

You cant really get loans on vehicles over 10 years old. Plus, there will be maintenance costs for older vehicles. I like the barebones concept. I don't really care for EVs but I see the value in this little truck. A young man trying to start his adult life needs something reliable and cheap. There are zero options for a brand new 20k vehicle except this.

Suppose I don't want to? You go huddle in a mass, like a chink. I'll live out here where it's nigger and tranny free.

It has AC. It's a standard option

the only reason this is an EV is because, if a normal engine, it couldn't be this small due to environmental regulations for MPG.

Slate is an anagram for Tesla btw.

do not buy this dogshit and help Bezos get even more rich.

Still a bit too much but I will admit I like the idea of the bare-bones interior. It should be about $15K.

Tried that, niggers kept stealing my bike, and you're a faggot.

loan on used vehicle

young man

The last thing a young man needs is a stupid car loan hanging around his neck. Save up some money and buy a beater for your first car.

This
Jeff Bezos is "we have Elon Musk at home"

This will fail
Politics is more important to environmentalists than the environment
Bezos is le evil rich white man so they will probably burn these to the ground as well.

no radio or speakers

short ass bed

I would like the return of less electronic shit and iPad screens in trucks but it's literally the "you will own nothing and be happy" truck for bugmen obsessed with Kei trucks and walkable cities. Can't wait to see them try hauling shit around in these.

Unfortunately, this.

A base model 20k$ truck should look like this and come with a v6, am/fm radio, air conditioning and roll up windows. That's all. Doesn't seem so hard.

It better be a subcompact truck. Because big trucks only exist because of the chicken tax and CARB efficiency and fuel mileage regulations.

fuck the gay ass cybertruck
fuck literally every car being a crossover or F150 or larger with their blinding low beams pointed above my shitbox's roof.

It is illegal to manufacture a truck that small. You can thank California.

theverge.com/electric-cars/655527/slate-electric-truck-price-paint-radio-bezos

it was $20k two days ago lmao

New $20,000 EV set to launch in the US.

The upcoming $25k electric pickup already turning heads.

The eagerly expected $50,000 Tesla competitor tries to impress potential buyers by its simplicity and practicality.

The US made electric car is finally available for purchase starting from 100k for the base model.

Prove it is Bezos backed

Trucks have to be able to tow or haul things other than your fat ass. Put a load of a few tons on an electric truck and your distance between charges goes from several hundred miles to 50. Nobody that actually uses their truck would buy an electric truck unless they were tricked into doing so.

breaks down

gets fired for missing work

kinda cute though

Fucking lmao

It's like the comic but the Jew would be breaking into the house to sell his kid that truck

You think new vehicles don't need to be maintained??

It does kinda look like that but more like the old tacomas. It sucks it's electric though.

Electrocuck vehicles are junk , the only thing that kept them selling was government paid for rebates and leftist propaganda. That’s all gone now.

Roll up windows suck ass. Everyone who wants them has never actually used them.

Not brand new EVs. Especially with hardly any accessories.

I'd buy one, great price. Looks cool. I don't care what satanist owns the company.

There's still a 7500 federal rebate.

Trump ending electric vehicle subsidies in 3..2..and...

They are the best
The motors and wiring always fail

1000lb towing capacity

250 mile range with upgraded battery option

what is even the fucking point?

If he builds them in the USA then it's a good thing for those who like EVs

Evs are gay but if they get cheap enough they could be a solid second vehicle if you live in the city and needed a small truck here and there

But a used ice truck would work just as well

I've never had electric windows fail and my first car was from 1998.
I guess evs are just magic that propel forward ignoring all physics.

You have to be 18 to post here chief

140 mile range

1 ton towing and hauling

It's a pos
No, but the current cybertruck battery tech is close. This is way off. This too.
For more than what they're saying it will cost. The 2wd cybertruck can drive farther, haul more, and costs less than the other American trucks in the same class.

Kys jeet nigger

Compared to ICE, EVs have less maintenance. Any failures would be warranty work.

It looks likt it sort of but it's half the size with a four and a half foot bed. No thank you. Needs a bigger bed. I don't care what you can do in a maverick, i want at least a 6-61/2 foot bed

Exactly this, that the companies don't understand.

I'm still driving a 95 F150, and won't get rid of it. I don't want to pay a thousand bucks extra for them to put aesthetic plugs in the screw holes of the interior trim. Give me something with an engine that can't die (interestingly enough, my inline 6 gets better has mileage than my friend's modern f150 with Ecoboost), readily available parts to resurrect it in my garage, and gets me to where I need to go in comfort but not flashiness.

... Are you a retarded child?

no 4x4

Should come with a donkey so we can haul it out when it gets stuck then.

nobody does anything with electric cars, they are trash the minute you drive off road

Nah people who say they love crank windows are generally posers, being able to roll down any window is a bare minimum and not really much more in terms of breakage.

There's a push for Toyota to release the IMV0 in picrel in the US under a Tacoma label.

It seems more capable than Slate at half the price, so they never will.

Selling to numale larpers, which is like 80% of their potential customer base either way.

I replaced the window motor in my friend's prius last year. Everything new is built to fail. This is the natural result of capitalism

No. I'm a 40yo man who has worked on cars his entire life. Please tell me what maintenance on a new EV would be. Tires?

So pay in cash. Who the fuck is so poor that they can't save up $30k every decade to buy a car?

Ah, yes, the fossil fuel industry and cars totally haven't been getting massive subsidises and other benefits from government while sabotaging and suppressing electric for decades. It's totally a free market, goy.

under a Tacoma label

Why? it’s a different chassis with a narrower track width

My 20 year old Toyota has zero issues. Meanwhile Oldsmobiles with roll up windows were getting stuck back in high school.
Sure thing kid satan. Trips shows you're lying.

I thought it was supposed to be 20k?

it was $20k yesterday, now it is already $25k.

No. I'm a 40yo man...

orly?

Amazon is just the modern day sears catalog. He got lucky there were retards running sears at the time who thought the internet was a fad or he would've been crushed

It's too small for US, the drivers couldn't physically fit in it.

It also needs to run on gas.
I don't think anyone will fall for it.

What level of egocentrism is this?

Just live in an apartment in the city! What the fuck is a farm?

Did you? Why are you asking what you thought, we don’t know.

v6

gay, min 250ci crossflow head i6

You've still got oil and coolant, power steering/brake fluids. (brakes and brake fluids are usually a lot less though, since regen braking takes a lot of the energy out before it hits the pads)
You've still got all the normal suspension work (more, since battery electric cars are heavy)
You've got battery servicing, but I guess that depends on competency most insurance/warranty will just send that off site, servicing it 15 years down the road at randos garage though is a skill needed though.
Small extra things like contact cleaning for the charge socket.

Less work, but still work and still mostly as regular and just booking a slot is most of the real cost.

take me back to when you could buy small, cheap workhorse pickups that run forever

Shouldn't have told him. I wanted to see how much longer he was gonna keep up the bullshit.

2 door ICE 5 speed manual with crank windows is the only viable option. the new trend of luxolarp 4 foot bed "pickups" is dehumanizing.

You still can, they still produce replacement parts for them. Cheaper to buy a used pickup from the 90's and replace half the stuff in it than it is to buy a brand new car.

It's kind of pathetic how Bezos always tries to imiate Musk
Invest in something original for once

it doesnt even have electric window openers

too small for the nu-american male.
americans arent allowed to have small trucks anymore.

100% plastic truck

amazon basics quality

short ass bed nearly impossible to use as a normal truck

faggy baseddesign that looks like a toy

Who is this product even for

You don't realize how shitty a small vehicle is until you can barely fit a single bicycle with the rear seats folded down.

is that a kei truck? 4wd?

Sears instead of Amazon.

Still get the bra catalogs which is your only pornography.

Craftsman brand all encompassing.

Would still sell firearms.

Our timeline truly is cursed.

No one is allowed to have small utes/trucks anymore.
Even the HiLux is fucking massive now.
New D-Max is huge compared to the old TF Rodeo
Ranger is was the first of the massive stupid utes in aus.

cuck mobile. Not surprised your shilling it since you're from a cuck country

You don't realise how stupid these new dual cab mostrosities are.
You can even stick a fucking shovel in one lengthways, it's gotta be on an angle to fit.
Fucking useless.
Massive but no fucking room, it's all in body panels.

Its like they they grabbed a random 7th grader and said, "draw a truck"

bro its a single cab truck, there is no rear seat to fold down, just throw it in the bed.

Pretty sure the hilux/tacoma is the same size it was in 2006. Only the GR bodymod makes it a bit wider.

how much was the cyber truck supposed to cost? 30K? 35K? Help me, to recollect.

You can order an extended cab with the 8'2" bed. The things a boat and with all the emissions/safety shit it's yuge. Most of what's on the lots is like you said though. The only time short bed makes sense is if it's a gooseneck. Otherwise get a van.

The 2wd cybertruck can drive farther, haul more, and costs less than the other American trucks in the same class.

The Tesla's frame can be broken by an F150. The cybertruck is rated to tow the same as other 1/4 ton trucks, but just don't hit the brakes too hard and avoid potholes.

Dual cab for lyfe, only retards look up to single cab barebones shitboxes

its a single cab truck

I'm commenting on the overall idea about how we're allegedly not allowed to have small vehicles any more. I'm convinced that everyone who wants smaller and smaller are a euro or a cityfag, or underageb& who stays at home all day in their apartments. I had what I thought was a "large" vehicle until an 8 foot board was stabbing me in the face when I was driving or the only thing I could fit with all seats folded down was a singular adult bicycle from the 90s.

1760mm vs. 2020mm width. It's all but a foot wider.

Dayum, that is one sexy golfcart.

It wasn't even broken by an F150, it broke recovering the F150 from the log trap.
F150 wasn't even applying torque, it snapped just on the weight of snatching another truck.

Ugly as fuck

Made in china

Checks out.
But let's see how those windows hold up...

The one on the left has a functionally larger bed than the one on the right.
Modern trucks are just SUVs with less useful trunks.

My Taco was made for hauling old car batteries to the beach and for running over faggy bicyclists in tights. Your taco is soft.

americans arent allowed to have small trucks anymore.

Yes they are but they are too fucking small and the 'normal' ones are too fucking big. Picrel. That 1995 f150 is in the middle of the Mav and the pictured red F-150, sort of similar in size to the Taco in the right on your pic. The difference is, even though the Taco is roughly the same size as the 95 Ford, its made for bug people or women to sit inside, cramped as fuck. My point still stands tho, they should be able to make a similar truck to the 95 f-150 for 20-25k with basic options, but they WONT.

It was always 30k

The one on the left has a functionally larger bed than the one on the right.

Are you even old enough to drive?
I own a 4th gen 4runner.

My point was, at 20k you can get a slate with a warranty or a used truck with constant repair bills.

but what if you stratch the bed

broccoliheads can't into rotating handles

I'm getting real "zoomers trying to figure out can opener" meme vibes here.

The 2020mm is the GR with the stupid body kit. The regular hilux is 1800mm wide. The size of the chassis itself hasn’t really changed.
Maybe the tacoma is wider and more smashed and slammed to be able to fit the average american.

See

Women and nu-males who struggle to open bottles I guess.

Bonus: Captcha=AAAPOS
toplel

You could literally take an S-10 from the 90s, put a tiny 4 cylinder turbo diesel in it and get 50mpg. Sell it for 15k. You'd sell millions of them.

My mother's wheelchair can't fit in my uncle's big SUV, but I can fit it in my Honda Civic trunk without even putting the seats down. I go to Home Depot all the time and load lumber and all sorts of big crap in it. When the seats are down it's actually surprisingly large, bicycles would be no problem.

They're all 2020 in Aus.
I don't care what old models are in brazil.

bare bones to "cut costs"

still fucking costs $25k

Like if this thing was like 10k max id consider it since it looks disposable but considering they want to fucking charge 25k for this piece of shit that looks like it would explode from a simple fender bender I am not paying that much for that garbage.

Haha your mom is retarded

as someone who owns a 1970 ford maverick, i refuse to acknowledge the existence of the new maverick. stop making me remember it exists.

My sports sedan has a weird pocket space for a trunk. Fits shit it shouldn't, though I doubt I can ever fit a bike in there.

$39,900
The original promised cost for the Tesla Cybertruck was $39,900 for the base single-motor rear-wheel drive model2. However, the actual pricing is higher, with the cheapest variant now costing over $20,000 more2. The dual-motor version was originally supposed to start at $49,900, and the tri-motor version at $69,9003.

This. The interiors and bed have somehow gotten smaller even though the trucks are huge

Wow it's already up 5k from the first time I saw shit about it. In a week it will be 30k.

insurance company says no

This is the sad reality and why cars keep getting bigger and bigger.

Left is a 6 foot bed while right is a 5.5 foot bed with roughly the same inner width.

Based. My first car was a 1971 maverick grabber, dark green. Paid $175 for it

Who keeps designing these awful looking box cars? They're hideous.

If I could buy a cyber truck for cheap and shoehorn in a 427, power glide and a 12 bolt...put some fatties on the real and paint flames on the side........I still wouldn't.
Some things are not for us, only God!

1,000lb towing capacity

150 mile range

It has half the towing capacity, half the range, and half the seating capacity of a Model 3. $20K is way too much for this golf cart.

Okay length of bed is a valid argument. Though not considering the shocks and everything holding up the rear of the truck. Retards will regularly go

huehue that kei truck can carry more than the 6 foot f150 bed

without realize that nigger that f150 is rated to carry thousands of lbs more in the bed.

I really did back it, Anon (I'm Jeff Bezos btw)

People just like big vehicles? It’s not a hard thing to grasp. Loans are easy and people are doing well enough to buy nicer stuff. Not some magic evil boogeyman

Also they can only sell them to Americas/China/India
EU needs sloped bonnet/hood for pedestrian regulation shit. At least it's good for aero

The F150 is considerably bigger than the tacoma, though. Especially the wheelbase.
And the “you’re not allowed to have light trucks” thing comes from the chicken tax, which doesn’t apply to mexican made cars so the mav is ok.

this was also my first car, iirc i paid $700 for it in 2007. it looked like fucking shit though back then. it was like 8 different colors and had rotted as fuck floorpans, but it still ran and outside of the brief period where i was restoring it after college and had a 1993 nissan 240sx its been my daily driver.

Couldn't they make a Malibu with 2 doors and a removable back roof so you basically have an El Camino to get around those laws

25k

150 mile range

no stereo

KEK

A friend had one of these in a blue color in the late 80's with the 302 in it. Fucker was quick after he worked on it some. Suprising sleeper.

why isn't dildo shaped like his rocket?

toyota.com.au/hilux/range
Bro it’s literally here. Only the GR is 2020mm wide.

That's the most onionraisin face I have ever seen. This "people" will be eat alive after society prolapses.

I don't want to live amongst other humans in large cities. It's fucking gross.

onionraisin

raisin

Is that a new filter? Also yes, he would more than deserve it.

There's nothing really wrong with it but people will bitch at it simply because it's electric.

20k after incentives

$25k for a car made of plastic

lmao

Made in the US so it wouldn’t matter. The malibu was just some weird abomination.

It's designed to be super simple and generic so that it can be more easily mass produced but also easily customizable.

mass produce it

still overpriced

why?

In America we have to be able to live in our cars though. The problem with the Amazon truck is that it’s just an actual truck.

The Nissan Leaf, the current cheapest EV, costs $27k.

It'd be impressive if it were 10-15. Before subsidy.
How do people in major cities who park on street charge EVs anyway?

That's the joke, they don't.

An extension lead or there are some fast chargers at certain petrol stations.

If they honestly want to use a truck JUST to work, it better be free. No ones fucking in those back seats.

At least it's not made of plastic and has a chance of not completely crumbling when some drunk retard crashes into you

It's made of composite like a plane.

Planes don't have to worry about other planes colliding into them because everyone is dying if that happens regardless of the strength of the plane

Yes they do. You think that Airbus etc don't care about crash safety? That the military don't care about a planes ability to survive being shot at?

I like having heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel. Its comfy in the winter

Used Model 3s are going for like $19k

Their website says it's still good for apartment dwellers in cities because they can go use a charger somewhere and they'll have an app to tell you where the chargers are at. Lol.

The 1980 Hilux has a payload capacity of 2,200 pounds.
The 2017 Tundra has a payload capacity 2,080 pounds.

Modern Toyota undervalues all capacity so as to not incur lawsuits. t. have towed much higher than what my shit is rated for.

Everyone I know who drives an electric or hybrid hates it and plans on buying a gas engine car to replace it.

They don't care about it when compared to how much people care about car collisions. I can guarantee this plastic toy car is not legal on European roads because of safety regulations

be an apartment dwelling EV-buying shitlib

need to spent 2 in a line everyday to charge your vehicle

People like this exist in San Francisco.

Why not? What's inherently unsafe about non metal body panels? You realise that modern cars crush like paper cups in a crash because that's safer?

Two more weeks
It'll be 30k

There's a reason no other car is made of plastic

What's inherently unsafe about non metal body panels?

Presumably if we're only talking about safety plastic provides next to zero structural support to protect in the event of an accident.

Mainly because it's more expensive and is only being used in this case because it's also significantly lighter which means more range on your EV.

There will no doubt be a solid "safety cage" built into the chassis.

The Maverick is categorically cheaper and more capable.

Kotsko Name Meaning ... Ukrainian and Jewish

everyone would rather buy this if they could.
Nothing new.
NO naviGAYshun.
Exactly as spec'ed back then.
sealed glass beams so cheap and easy to replace.
Nothing to break.
Taken care off it will last 40 years.
Still has resale value.
Toyota would sell so many if they got the price of the base stripper model to 15k.
Everyone else would go for the 25k 4WD off road package.
No emissions regs, so the old tech and old engine without the shit for brains oil burning low friction pistons.
No government tracking or electronic BS.
NO NIGERS IN THE ADS!
Stick Shift base model.
FUCK FAT PEOPLE!
They will sell a Million of these.
All they have to do in the marketing is: "This is the last time you will ever be able to buy anything this good"
And they will have the factory never stopping production.
People all over the world will Import these from America.
TOYOTA SAVED AMERICA!

It is illegal to manufacture a truck that small

wat

tesla is raisin

Electrified garbage for perpetual city dwellers. There is no market for this shit in rural areas and to add insult to injury, it doesn't have a serious market for cityfags who are obsessed with mass transit either. By buying electric cars, they are unironically contributing an even greater carbon footprint from production and straining our already overburdened electrical grid for their own personal satisfaction. Nuke these retards now and spare humanity from this asinine "progress".

40 years

ACK

What if you park on the street?

Man I'd love a truck like that

If you cant juice it whats the point.

No ones buying a Bezos bucket Jew mobile

Difference is he actually gets shit done.

The frames rust out.
I'll never understand why auto makers don't use tube frames and run the exhaust and wiring harness through the tube's.

inb4 you can't access it to fix it

Brake lines and wiring harnesses would last longer inside the tube and could be pulled out for servicing

Plastic sucks at extreme temperatures so the shitty panels will be cracking within a year and are going to have massive gaps between the panels to make space for thermal expansion

Safety cage

Which is fine for a rollover but not when a car is t boning you because some nigger decided red lights aren't for him.

Running hot exhaust over the electrics

This is how you start a fire.

Are you taking this truck to Mercury or something?

exhaust on one side

electrical on the other side

And when you need to power something on the other side of the vehicle?

You know, marx was right in his analysis of why people moved from the "country" to the urban areas, they didn't do it by choice, they did because they were forced essentially and then worked shitty factory jobs.
We are just reliving that in the tech world.

I love the maverick. I had a couple of 4 door comets, and I should have kept them.

Exhaust through the frame would destroy it , you stupid nigger.
Rust is only a problem in states that use salt on the roads and you can prevent most of that by keeping the under side sprayed with oil / grease.

oyyyy vey stop multiplying your money in the trump market filthy goy just deduct 30k from your liquid assets for a battery on wheels

Nice try Rosenberg

Yeh it’s shit

what is summer or winter

Yup great car

That's what the crumple zones are for. The cage keeps the cabin intact while the rest of the car absorbs the impact.

We have more extreme weather, shit gets hot and cold

HAHAHAHAHA

Not Mercury.

If they made this again with modern improvements to things that were shity back then ; but kept the Look?
These would sell.
All simple shit.
People can add their own satnav.
People would get excited about cars again.
Keep the old tech and make it EMP proof and show it off as such, and people would panic buy this or keep one around just to have transport when shit goes down and they can't get parts for anything else.

America really should have at least one Platform that is ready for wartime so we don't have to keep tooling up expensive shit that does not work.

There's more than one tube
Frames could be fabricated and then built into several different vehicles just by changing the body panels and rear section. You could even switch your car into a pickup

anyone who drives something like that is a crackhead/tweaker.

is this you?

youtube.com/watch?v=uns3V-07r1Q

Still not Mercury.

Yep lol. I like my gas car. I drive a suv because I don't need a truck. Sedans don't have enough ground clearance for me.

Check their website. They say that's fine and shouldn't dissuade from buying their vehicle. You just use their app (which is still in development) to find a charger near you and then you go there and hopefully don't have to wait to use it and then wait the 20min or however long it takes to charge. Also they say the car is great because it doesn't come painted so that way you can wrap it more easily. Lol. From the photos, it doesn't seem like it has passenger side airbags. Also it's rwd lol.

-30C to +40C is extreme enough for plastic

My stock exhaust has lasted 200,000 miles, and that's thin wall stainless steel tubing. A tube frame would be much thicker and you'd obviously have water drains and such

20k? nobody said 25k, 30k was never on the table, it's no less than 37k without the tax rebate

Rust is only a problem in states that use salt on the roads

I just get my car washed regularly in the winter to deal with the salt

You know that the Falcon 9 rocket is made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer?

40 years

FLUID FILM.
Problem solved in the rust belt.
You also need to do it at least once a year in the salt.

Yeah and the car is not

Tesla really only ever had two things going for it.

Elon Musk marketing himself as a cool nerd who will bring us the future.

And the fact he was the first real player in the electric car game.

Elon has destroyed his reputation with every single demographic. Plus, he never builds enough cars, and the build quality is always bad. The competition has caught up, and no one believes in him anymore. He has nothing. No cards.

This one has a radio

This faggot sounds like he is destined for a woodchipper.

I.e it's made of plastic and can survive re-entry retard.

Again, the car is not made of the same plastic

destroyed his reputation with every single demographic

There are people who still like him. He lost libtards but gained MAGA types. Some of them even went and bought teslas. Overall he probably lost more sales than he gained but it's not catastrophic for him

Goalposts on the move faggot. Plastic can survive even more extreme temperatures than just fucking Summer if they are formulated to do that retard.

Only 33k? That's a good deal!

he thinks this car is made of the strongest plastic around instead of being recycled plastic straws

BEZOS HATES MUSK

(nothing new here)

New trucks, not used up like your future wife

EV car tip for anons, never ever buy an EV.
Rent it, lease it, but don't buy it.
The value will only go down as with motor vehicles however the analog of the engine is the battery and that shit is 90% of the value of the car.
The battery cannot be recharged.
It can only be replaced and the battery components run through the entire car so it is practically not changeable. The whole car is scrap.
Additionally, don't buy used EVs as those batteries have been used up.

Prove your assertion or else you might as well be claiming it's made of chocolate.

I just bought a 2024 top trim forester made in Japan for 31,500 with 7600 miles on it. I thought that was a good deal. The 25 forester in that trim is just over 40,000 new and prices will go up because of the tariffs. I bought mine before the tariffs went into place. I like the car. Doesn't have the giant touch screen and the gauge cluster isn't completely digital.

The battery cannot be recharged.

Come on now...

I remember reading about how the Chinese forced farmers to relocate to the cities and how depressed they were as a result. The same, communist hand reveals itself. Their superficial shaming is just window dressing

Not the current charge, the maximum charge. It depletes over time.
Not that it would matter for you, you won't be able to get a license for it anyways.

This is what the auto industry needs. The EV meme is gay as fuck and needs to die, and it's way too expensive still, but if we got a similar pickup truck that's a hybrid and gets 40mpg I'd be all over it.

The profit motive, anon.

We need to change regs so we can actually import and produce small vehicles again. The small Toyota Hiluxes, the old Ford Ranger, Kei cars, and I know Korean companies are making a bunch of great small cars for their domestic market you can't get in NA.

If you mean that the battery wears out over time then say that. Don't say utterly retarded shit like "This electric car cannot be recharged and can only have fresh Duracells slotted in with the old ones thrown into the Dolphin tank at the Zoo".

you sound like a roastie that needs all of the frivolous features they pack in overpriced cars these days

I saw this yesterday and the claim was $20k, is it going to keep going up?

They literally said the panels are made of plastic, you go ahead and prove it's the same as the ones used on Falcon 9 rockets

I want a small practical pickup truck for hauling things, and the newest one I can get that isn't a giant retarded shitbox monstrosity is a 2011 Ford Ranger.

Still far too expensive for an RC car.

It's $20k with government grants towards buying an EV.

I don't need to prove that, all I had to show is that plastic can survive extreme temperatures to prove that your assertion that plastic cannot do better than 40 Celsius simply wrong.

The company advertised it as 20k, but that's only for the base model (excluding other fees) and with federal EV money.
It's a shame since the design principles are there but the money men have clearly been fucking around with it.
You, me, and a whole lot of other people. They want us to go in debt for overdesigned shitboxes instead. I get some increased prices for safety features, but none of those changes are enough to justify modern prices.

Why do these leftist always have weird foreign names ?

this is the work of elon being a literal retard and all everyone searching for a better figurehead

I had them in my first truck, they were fine.

We learned with the old Saturn cars that the plastics just fade like hell and crack instead of bend. Bigger gaps due to expansion and contraction, and were more expensive to produce with molds. There is a reason we don’t really use them.

Crumble zones can only exist with metal. Plastic won't crumble it will shatter and disintegrate.

Man I'd love a truck like that

Our family has one.
I have to say, it drives like a tank, but damn, its like from the 90s, and still works great.
Easy to fix.
Weird how odd it feels driving an older car like this compared to anything new.
What never gets old?
At this point, these trucks just go up in value if you keep up on the maintenance & Paintwork.
EVERYTHING for this truck is still made and can be sourced from around the world.
Everything else?
You can still buy "replacement parts" for all the stupid shit like seatbelts anchors and misc things that wear out.

The fact you can keep a car like this going without ever having to worry you can't get some weird part is unheard of.
That's the reason these trucks hold their value.
The main reason they get taken of the road is that they just wore or rusted out.
And I mean 300k or more on the clock and the never did much upkeep.
Do the Fluid Film, yearly, and you never worry about rust either.
Transmissions seem to last forever too.
And they still make rebuild kits with OEM parts for everything as militaries still use them all over the world.

Have they tried not making it so fucking gay?

White man

He’s a kike

Nuthin

$25k is the new $10k, did you just wake up from a 20 year coma?

I repair them all day
I specialize in auto electrical

Put a turbo 4 banger with a 6 speed manual in it and I'd buy one.

It takes energy to break it apart which is energy not being directed into breaking you apart instead.

its not overpriced, money is worth less than it used to be.

apparently but ill honestly just settle for buying a hunk of junk for <10k that I can at least have the freedom of working on myself / taking to my mechanic friend and not have to worry about "hurr you can only get parts and repairs from an authorized dealer"

Elon builds the best selling car in the world.
Elon builds the fastest car in the world.
Bezos will not manufacture a single one of these shitboxes on an assembly line.

Peyronie's disease

Why would you buy electric car when replacement for battery every 4-5 years is around 4000$+ fuck that. My old car is good and repairs are usually 50-100$.

Theres an EV charger within walking distance of my apartment.
the nissan leaf is the most horrible turd ever made

I'll never understand why auto makers don't use tube frames and run the exhaust and wiring harness through the tube's

¯(°_o)/¯
Anon I....

why does DOGE just cut wasteful spending on useless shit like the EPA and remove CAFE regulations so we can just have small ICE trucks and cars again?

electric

25k

The people who buy a 25k car live in apartments how are they supposed to charge this golf cart? How will it perform as a truck or is it just shaped like a truck? Why do we still not have an answer to the Landcruiser 70? Best selling truck/SUV in the world and yet americucks are forced to buy a fucking schoolbus sized 4runner instead...

DO AWAY WITH ALL VEHICLE IMPORT RESTRICTIONS. THEY SERVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NO PURPOSE. Only benefit the fucking corporations to limit their competition.

lol no
They have everything ICE has except the engine , most modern ICE will go 200,000 with no problems , electrics batteries last half that long.
And including the purchase price electric car cost 3 times more to operate per mile and lasts 1/2 as long as an ICE vehicle on average.

It's hard to find exactly what the panels are made of but I believe it's not the same composite being used.

you just posted a small pickup and a full sized while ignoring mid sized trucks (which im guessing is the right size you are looking for) now go google "Ford Ranger" and educate yourself

i wouldnt buy an ev made before 2025 because we just got a mandated single charging standard this year and up until literally 2 years ago tesla was the only one making decent evs. hyundai kia genesis are making the best ones in my opinion

Bezos will not manufacture a single one of these shitboxes on an assembly line.

$20k jewbux for the base model seems reasonable. changs sell them retail for about half that. no reason why these couldn't be built in muttland. slate will just kike the consoooomer on accessories, customisation, and so on. i reckon this rubbish has legs. it's essentially an oversized golf cart. cheap, stone age battery tech, bare bones, etc.

Works on cars

No you don’t

Plastic, same shit they are gonna be using in this.

stone age battery tech

Not this one.

Ford did this four years ago

So fossil fuels are cars now ?
Let me know when they start giving us a $7,500 tax credit on ICE cars , abo chink

>exhaust on one side

Do you know what the primary thing that comes out of a tailpipe after combustion?
Water.

WHY DOES METAL RUST?

Moisture.

what Causes metal to rust faster?

HEAT.

How hot is exhaust?

400-1,000 degrees

Will CarAnon EVER mention this again?

NOPE!

Looks cute honestly. I’ll wait to see reviews though. It’s highly customizable from what I’ve seen, but I’ve yet to see how it drives and handles everyday truck life.

"plastic" covers all sorts of different materials from clingfilm to kevlar.

How will it perform as a truck or is it just shaped like a truck?

They offer the option to put 3 seats in the bed and make it into a "suv"

schoolbus sized 4runner

It's more car than I need

the entire point of this truck is to make it diy friendly and give the middle finger to the big companies that wont let you work on your own car. its designed to be as easy to work on and modify as possible
since its LFP and made this year its more like 15
same way you get gas today, go to a public charger every few days

Not this one.

150 mi "projected" range. in muttspeak, that's probably 85mi with the aircon running on its best day. it's a city car.

slate.auto/en/specs

Do you honestly think Mr bezos is gonna use anything other than recycled milk bottles on his 20k truck? It’s gonna be the same as those Saturns.

Holy shit. WOULDN'T EVEN TOUCH THAT EVEN IF THEY ASKED ME TO.

Your biased assumptions mean nothing.

its easier to do than replacing a gas engine and about the same price if you buy a low mileage used battery pack instead of a new one

humiliation ritual on wheels

And your naivety is unbecoming of a human being

It says this but it's actually something else that I just pulled out of my ass

thought about buying one. it's 20k doesn't even have a radio. if you want it to have basic shit included it's going to cost you 35-40k. it's not a good deal

I want it. I want it. I want it.
Fuck Musks overpriced bullshit.
I like Musk, I HATE Bezos… but money talks mother fuckers.

no screen

Don’t have a phone you bitch? You know how many Tesla faggots I’ve seen holding their phone in their hand BLOCKING that ridiculously huge display??

no radio

Never heard of Bluetooth? Or aftermarket stereos? Headphones nigger bitch with awareness settings so you can hear the world and jam out?

no back up camera

Either it’s in the rear view or like I said aftermarket wireless loot

but but… fuck you!

Fuck you too faggot.

My lack of naivety is what makes me not just take your bullshit at face value.

20k? I cant sell you a truck for 25k. How do you expect me to do business selling 30k trucks? 35k is completely reasonable. I'm surprised you think 40k is low balling. You owe me 45k in damages.

but I’ve yet to see how it drives and handles everyday truck life.

pure shite, guaranteed. it's not a "truck", it's pure larp. but zoomer kidults will buy, since they're brokie faggots. pensioners as well. slate fills an underserved niche in jewsa: cheap/basic ev.

nobody will buy the base model, except for autistic weirdos. expect a few grand in high-margin add-ons. ffs, not even a radio or speakers are included. spartan design, assembly will take five minutes, everything's plastic, etc.

they might just turn a profit with this, assuming the vehicles are reliable. ameripoors have no choice, kek.

Ahhhh Americano kontamawa semewa jinuchi samewa... not everybody rich like americano, bugs poor, no money where do i get battery for cheap ... huh ?

JK but it is truth that Slovakia is too poor for eletric cars even if Chinese are trying to build factory for batteries here in Slovakia it's going to fail just like in Hungary where they are much bigger country and it was still useless it's viable for mostly countries like Germany or Japan or USA with good economy here you are lucky if you buy 5 eggs and can afford meal for the next day.

>It says this but it's actually something else that I just pulled out of my ass

look up any car in muttland, faggot. the real world numbers are often dramatically lower than epa figures. ffs, a tesla's range is nearly cut in half on cold days.

a prototype vehicle, being marketed to naive brokie faggots, produced in jewsa, with an "estimated" figure. brilliant. the hallmark of trustworthiness. do you believe drumpf's actively negotiating trade deals with "200 countries" as well?

$25k

$27k with zero options selected

Is the next big America made car here?

Winter of 2026

goes through the plastic like butter

Yes, that will definitely protect me.

Is this not true of other electric cars?

People will really buy an EV from a company that might go out of business in a few years

In your solid steel box that doesn't crump the car survives but you don't as all the energy from the crash is directed into launching you through the windscreen.

remember what they took from you

IT WAS ALWAYS
69$K ANON
TWO MORE SN33DS Q PREDICTED THIS

is he competing with elon for ugliest car design?

solid steel

Aluminum crumbles, that's the whole point retard. You're like a dumbass who thinks putting a piece of cardboard in front of a bullet will make it less lethal because a fraction of a percentage of energy was lost going through the cardboard. The plastic shatters and provides little to no beneficial effect to the car that is impacting you. The plastic's sole purpose is to save money.

Do you think that the chassis is plastic or something?

90k.
150 miles max
135 KW battery.
A similar Dodge delivery van cost $54,000.

what is stainless steel

what are coatings

Why doesn't the thin wall tubing of my exhaust system instantly explode into rust

Honestly can't tell if you're thick or just trolling

Nobody wants to drive some piece-of- shit golf cart
Cars were perfected in the 90s

Is this not true of other electric cars?

it varies. some manufacturers have decent performance, close to their epa estimates. most don't. slate is essentially a vinfast vf3, same type of shite. the real world figures are absolute shite on those, i'd expect similar performance from slate.

the average mutt commutes 15 miles to work. so even 70-80 miles in the real world is more than enough for a single charge. they'll put the cheapest, nastiest, and outmoded batteries in the base model, offer the "240 mile" option at a substantial premium. realistically, it will be a $30k vehicle. not on the road cost either, as mutts have sales taxes and loads of other fees.

This whole conversation started about the plastic panels. You asked what is inherently unsafe about plastic panels. I jumped into the conversation stating that plastic panels do not crumble like steel or aluminum ones and are worthless towards safety. Get with the program.

This other car from a completely different manufacturer that has lower specs has lower specs

The chassis is what gives a car structural strength.

Is this not true of other electric cars?

also, expect massive/rapid degradation of the battery. likely similar to old nissan leafs, where you're lucky to get 40 miles to a single charge. this will probably be the biggest complaint on the base model. but since young/brokie faggots are buying, they'll probably just install aftermarket batteries and breathe new life into them.

You are now trying to shift into arguing against electric vehicles in general rather than just THIS one.

I just got this to get me back and forth to the office and pick up the kids from school.
It even came with a built-in magnifying glass on the steering column so I can see my dick!
Works great for driving 20mph over the speed limit and tail gating every single car on the freeways

Crumble zones are aided by body panels. How many fucking times do I need to explain this to you.

Any reason why this would be different? Or does your monkey brain pattern recognition now not work?

Aided sure, but if the point is not having the energy get dumped into throwing you through the windscreen, the chassis is what has to have some "give".

>This other car from a completely different manufacturer that has lower specs has lower specs

how much does slate pay you per post?

you have rocks in your head, faggot, if you think they aren't going to cut every conceivable corner to bring this rubbish to market at $20k. there's little doubt it can be done, but at a cost of what?

slate is essentially a chinese car/battery that is being slightly modified to meet mutt safety standards. there is no innovation, just cobbling together the cheapest bits they can find.

His argument is that other EVs are better.

Nothing. I just smell bullshit coming out of you.

Crumble zones

Bezos is a bargain basement Musk.

It's worth 50k, so here's why paying 40k for it is a good thing:

You are now trying to shift into arguing against electric vehicles in general rather than just THIS one.

slate is essentially a vinfast vf3 you munted cunt (which is a rebranded chang ev). these cheap shitboxes are two a penny in the orient. every manufacturer tells endless porkies about range, performance, and so on. again, there's zero innovation here.

Potato potato.

Nothing. I just smell bullshit coming out of you.

you're smelling your upper lip, after i shift my festering anus onto your contorted bird shit catcher. go electrocute yourself, you mentally defective muppet.

I accept your concession.

Hell yeah. I'm running a 1994 F150 with the 5.8 V8. Love it, tons of ass for the $3k I spent on it. Though the gas mileage ain't as good as a modern 5.0, if I were to get into something newer it'd be a 2016/17 with the 5.0 or a late nineties 7.3 diesel. But with EPA and CARB getting deleted, congressionally speaking, I could take a new 6.7 without all the gay shit.

The new ranger looks like ass, only comes turbo and is cramped as fuck in the cabin, just like the toyota, did you miss that or are you just fucking blind? and costs way more than 20-25k. Literal chucklehead

holy fuk
(҂◡_◡) ᕤ ....

what is stainless steel

For a tubular FRAME?
Have you ever welded in your life?
I'm guessing not.

what are coatings

you're going to electroplate stainless steel,
THEN RUN CORROSIVE EXHAUST
through the stainless steel COATED pipe
through the frame???
Anon...
Someone needs to take a trip down to the library and read up on what happens when you take corrosive exhaust fumes run them through electroplated stainless steel and see what comes out of the tailpipe as the emission.

Why doesn't the thin wall tubing of my exhaust system instantly explode into rust

It will after 7 years.
You really think that's a good idea for a load bearing frame?
For it to weaken over time?
Lets not forget the Fab cost.

But you go right on ahead.

this is the kind of car Americans would drive before the country became gay and brown

Fuck these rich faggots
Make a cool looking car
Electric is also gay
Fuck India too

slate = pure larp. the poor man's cybertruck. they'll never do a day of "real" work.

just a furfag filling it up with suits, to flog at some bestiality convention. or a couple of poof hauling their kama sutra divan to their den of sin.

it's a chariot for homos – they'll be mocked, ridiculed, and accosted without mercy.

Hi Elon.

Don’t have a phone you bitch?

Hello, Blizzard, is that you?

like I said aftermarket wireless loot

Yup...let me laugh harder.

This really was one of the best looking cars GM ever made.
And they fuckered it up because they did not want it eating sales of their other cars.
Fuck GM!
They even screwed over Holden.
With the Supercharged V-6?
It ran circles around the Vette at the time on the track.

You realise that it not having a radio makes it a lot less likely to get broken into?

You realise that it not having a radio makes it a lot less likely to get broken into?

Nobody steals OEM radio's anon.
That's like your dash.
Anyone steal your entire dash?
These new radios won't even work unless paired to the car.
Something a "Boosting" "Scholar" will not be able to sell.
There's no code either as you have to have canvas just around the damn radio.

half those shitboxes caught fire. picrel: average fiero sooner or later.

Radi9os get stolen all the time. It also discourages joyriders because no tunes.

GM used to be cool.
Now they just make faggy trucks
I like Tahoes but I can't get over the suspension hanging down in the back 2 inches off the ground

yup...
They sure taught the Chinese how to make a car let me tell ya!
kek

I would rather have the $10,000 Toyota Hilux
