Not my personal experience at all. My experience is admittedly limited driving a family vehicle but the sound on the receiving end was fine in the calls I made. Have you ever actually ridden in one? The wind noise inside is near zero. Was his window rolled down? Does he have the same issue with everybody? Bit of a logic leap to conclude the wind noise is terrible in a vehicle based on a call with one friend is his work truck, but it that's Surly for you. Edit - but in fairness I've never gone 555 mph in one. So... mileage may vary.

This was published in 2023 so likely data from 2022 or before. Its just a broad stroke on average prices.

The bowing of the head in defeat at the end. Whatever the relationship, he's definitely sick of her shit.

Truly not trying to CR, but there is absolutely an ongoing hippy liberal scum aspect to all the "morally superior" bullshit they consistently shit out. There's also the unspoken aspect of... well, much larger mixed cultures and various heritage found in Austin vs College Station. Its there, just beneath the surface most of the time, until you try to take down the statue of one of their "heros" or they reference "hired mercenaries" regarding recruiting.

Nice goal post shift there... My entire point was responding to someone who said they were putting a deposit on one, why not. My why not is for $5k more you can get a Ford Hybrid 2 wheel drive vs a start up EV 2 wheel drive. I personally think thats a much better investment that putting $20k or even $50 into a Series A funded vehicle backed by Jeff Bezos and other similar folks. The likelihood of being able to find a shop or anyone to work on it is exponentially higher with the Ford. Plus you get fun and neat shit like a radio, AC, a color you like, unlimited range, and the ability to actually haul shit a long way. I'm not shitting on Slate. I've said multiple times I'm all for any attempts to stop the vehicle cost/size race to stupidity. I would like to see it succeed. However, we've already discussed that this vehicle's market is extremely niche. Too niche IMO. So if someone want to throw $20k at one and hope it succeeds, deal with the negatives and take their chances that the company exists in 2026-7, I'm never going to stop them. However, if they pose the question of why not... On a message board... I'm going to reply with a logical alternative as to why not.

It was unloaded in the shipping plastic. But I could have potentially used it as a weapon I guess.
