That’s the one thing with the Kai trucks is that for Japanese vehicles they are extremely over engineered. Don’t know what they were thinking with them

My dad and his buddies bought one to bring up to the cabin we go hunting at, the thing has like 25 vacuum hoses and some of the engineering in stuff like motor mounts etc. is crazy bordering on German ridiculousness. To get at the rear motor mounts you’d have to take off the transmission and driveshaft I believe in theirs

That's not surprising I guess, when you've got hard size constraints and you have to keep it cheap you can't spend forever reorganizing things so it fits together nicely. Just get it all in there and get it built.

I rather deal with 25 vacuum hoses over EV problems anyday. Lol

Good luck finding a mechanic to fix your EV problems. With all the proprietary software and hardware they make it a lot harder that you have to go back to dealer.

Well slate does not have a infotainment system with proprietary software. They also will not have a dealer network. The truck is made to be super simple.

Nope a diy truck like my framework laptop. They say they will work with a large chain like Midas to do repairs owners are scared to do. Every body panel is removable.

EV like a frame work laptop? I will wait and see lol.

I bet there is only one tech at each Midas that will fix the slate. Most likely the master or senior tech.

Fist look by top gear. Slate is also an anagram for Tesla.
