I will continue to pray for Slate to not completely suck. There's a "smart" module that has a cellular modem, but it's something you have to opt into and pay for it.
What's Slate? Interesting.
All electric, modular pickup truck starting at $24,000. The truck is highly modular in parts and accessories as well as mods to turn it into more of a crossover/2 row vehicle. Stock vehicle comes with crank windows and no radio by default. All things you can add (or remove/modify) at any time. It's a startup, so it has yet to be seen how good of a reception it has.
Same. I have a 2016 Subaru Outback that I wouldn't mind giving to my daughter, but like hell am I buying anything connected to the Internet and tracking my every drive (for profit). Slate and to a lesser degree: Rivian are my only EV choices right now.
