Everyday I get sad at the fact the Toyota IMV 0 is not allowed to be sold in the US.

I’d totally rather a company with the supply chain and mature market for parts. Slate truck is hoping to fill the low cost, no frills, extra customizable electric truck segment.

Man, I hope Slate trucks sell like fucking hotcakes. The lack of creepy spyware makes that the only new vehicle I'm considering.

… what? You just said Toyota doesn’t have a proper supply chain or market for parts? You do realize Toyota is literally one of the biggest and most mature car manufacturers and has been for years right?

I think they mean they'd rather have Toyota, but right now there's only the promise of Slate.

Oh makes way more sense, was like they were literally talking backwards

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’d rather have a Toyota than an off brand alternative.

I’ve been looking forward to the Slate truck too, really hoping it’s successful. It would be a perfect upgrade from my 07 Ranger.

The Bezos truck? No thanks

If your argument for not liking a company is because of a partial investor being a rich guy, I sure hope you walk everywhere. Else be a hypocrite.

I drive a Toyota

[–] ZimRoxo@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not normally a truck guy but I really want one of these. I just hope the battery upgrade and individual accessories/customizations don't bump the cost too high. I love how small the truck is
