@bearman54 or @bryce519 Any chance you have access to an updated 2025 Corsair Order Guide (if there is one?)  Going through it and matching it up with the website, I have found many inconsistencies (this one here is from June 2024).  Thanks in advance!

I mean this is effectively the same thing as buying a lightning pro work model versus a Lariat. There won’t be a huge market for it, but there likely will be some interest on price alone. 

Cadillac is going back to names too on all their EVs but all their names are going to end with IQ now except the Escalade tho the EV version is Escalade IQ.  I wish Cadillac would use historic names again but apparently the GM fans think that's a dumb idea

I applaud Ford going back to names for vehicles, this whole CT4, XT6, blah blah required me to go searching to see WTF it was and essentially unmemorable.

I think you can still use the points, but as I now understand it, the points will no longer be awarded thru the Ford Pass/Lincoln Access visa card after 5/28. FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha), the card issuer, will be coming out with a new card called Gear Up in July, which doesn't seem to be Ford only. IIUC, FP/LA points will be still be awarded and redeemed at point of sale for service, parts, accessories etc thru dealerships or Ford.com sites. It's unclear to me whether FP/LA points will accumulate some other way besides. 

Tesla is finally offering a decontented RWD Cybertruck at a lower price but seems too little too late given how much is missing to reduce cost; not to mention CT has bigger problems than price alone.  This move though hints at what Tesla may do towards offering more affordable cars, like a stripped down model 3 or Y.  Problem is that decontenting doesn’t save as much as most people think.   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-released-cybertruck-rwd-to-make-awd-look-like-a-deal/   Article links a list of differences listed by some guy on X, and it’s pretty long.  Don’t know if it’s accurate.   Here's everything the new Cybertruck Long Range RWD loses vs the Long Range AWD trim:   • No HEPA filter • No air suspension (adaptive coil spring suspension) • No rear light bar • Standard bed with no tonneau cover included. Upgradeable to $750 soft tonneau (pictured below). This soft cover increases range to 363 miles (from 350) • Textile seats (vs vegan leather on AWD trim) • Headlights without signature lamps • Standard bed lamps (vs premium lights on AWD) • No L-track in bed • No 2x 120V, 1x 240V outlets in the bed • No 2x 120V outlets in the cabin • No heated rear seats & no ventilated front seats • Standard center console with no second row screen • 7 speaker audio (vs 15 speakers on AWD trim) • No active noise cancellation • No mechanical front locking diff (due to only single motor) • Lower 2,007 lbs payload (vs 2,500 on AWD trim) • Lower 7,500 lbs towing capacity (vs 11k on AWD trim)

Yeah, in 94 the base 2.3L engine was rated at only 98 or 100 HP and 130 lb-ft, so not a lot of power for a 3,500-pound truck.  Mine had a cap over the bed which added a bit of weight, and also unusually tall factory gearing which probably made it accelerate slower than most other Rangers.  Even so, it was fine when driving in flat areas when not towing.  I towed a few times with it and that’s when it could have used more power, especially in the Texas Hill Country that has steep grades.  Anyway, my point is that small trucks like this Slate BEV can probably get by fine with 150~200 HP or less, which could help keep costs lower.  Also, same amount of BEV HP often performs better than equal ICE rating, which should help too in real-world driving.
