People report struggling to buy a Ford Maverick. Shadowy organizations can't stand it that Americans demand Kei Trucks and get legislation so they can't get them. Increasingly I see rural people driving compact cars... Maybe they'd like a big-ass truck but they can't afford one at $90k.
The Ford Maverick starts at like $2k more than the Slate truck.
... and that's very little compared to most alternatives on the market.
Yeah, mainly I mean I don't get the hype over it. At $28k with no EV tax credit it makes no sense to me. Just get a Maverick, it's actually got features.
My original point was that I expect a big difference in people's stated vs observed preference on this one.
Maybe if it was priced like a Nissan Versa.
