Not sure if completely on topic, but I'm curious to see how the new Slate truck does. It checks all the boxes for all the comment sections/forum people that don't want all the "useless" stuff and want a basic/simple/cheap ride. I'm interested because someone finally is doing it, but I'm betting most of the ones clamoring for it will still find a reason to not buy new and wait it out until it's even cheaper used.
Maverick has done well on the ice/hybrid version of affordable so maybe they're on to something. Their presentation was a little sketchy, but so was every other start ups first time in the spot light so................. who knows, something to watch anyway.
